Hello - ten years ago I read the Warlord Chronicles during which I often envisioned a television miniseries production coming out of the books.  I just recently viewed the HBO series Game of Thrones which prompted me to read George R. R. Martin's series.  This in turn has lead me back to wanting to read the Warlord Chronicles again.  If HBO could turn Game of Thrones into a series, then why not the Warlord Chronicles?  Perhaps some day?  Incidentally, a long time ago I was first introduced  to you while home with a cold, when I first watched Sharpe Rifles on PBS.  I have enjoyed reading your books ever since.

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I finally got around to Redcoat and I'm loving every page of it.  It seems strange that I'm getting to it just now after having read most of the non-serial novels like The Fort, Agincourt and Stonehenge.  But life sometimes throws you some curves.  All the same, it seems appropriate that I read it in the weeks leading up to Independence Day.  Once again you've fleshed out some fine characters both imaginary and real.  Sir William Howe really comes to life there.  I also appreciated how you've added some nice detail to the action at Paoli's Tavern.  In particular the absence of flints in the muskets of the British troops for the night assault.  Reminds me of a decisive moment at the Battle of Brandywine that I read about in a rather acedemic biography of Casimir Pulaski.  The column of Hessians sent to outflank the Continental left was ordered to march with unloaded muskets.  This enabled Pulaski's ad hoc cavalry unit to make their heroic and reckless charge. Thusly delaying the flanking movement long enough to enable the Continental Army's baggage train to escape.  It was an American defeat but it could have been much worse.
At any rate, I'm looking foward to finishing up Redcoat over my vacation time before the 4th of July.  I've visited Valley Forge years ago but I'm sure it's quite different in many respects from colonial days. Just as Fredericksburg  below Marye's Heights has changed from the Civil War battle.  I look forward to seeing how you capture the ambiance of that location in winter.

I just discovered you. You are a brilliant writer. I started with Uhtred, and can't wait to experience your other tales. Thank You for all the hours of satisfactory reading.

Dear Mr Cornwell (or can I call you Bernard?)

I wanted to write and tell you how much I have enjoyed your books, I have one series left to read (The Saxon Stories), I started with Sharpe's Tiger years ago now, I thought I had the whole series but then you bring out another and I have to read it, it's a compulsion I think now.  Yours are one of very few books I re-read and never get bored with,  never a duff or dull read, so thank you for your marvelous style of writing and please may you continue to produce many more stories to enthrall the masses that cannot put your books down.

Many thanks
Regards
Martin Sweeny

Dear Mr Cornwell,

It's a great pleasure to read your works. Especially books about Arthur. I really loved reading them. It's amazing how the legend was retold by you and despite being a fiction, the wealth of historical data make it appear that Arthur really existed and the other characters. It was a great adventure to have accompanied the history of this hero. I love this legend and thank you for having it transformed into something wonderful. Thank you!

Love your Saxon Series and Grail Quest Series.  My preferred method to absorb your books is via audio.  With a good narrator, it's story telling at its best!  However I do have one complaint and that is abridged books.  It seems that lately your books are being abridged.  That's great for people that wish to hurry through a book, but when the book is great, like your books, I like to saver every morsel of the story.  What an editor may think unimportant may be important to a reader, particularly since your books are a great means of traveling back in time to a period foreign to the readers.  Thank you for providing many hours of enjoyable entertainment.  Oh, and should add, so far the narrators have been excellent.  Having other audio books, I can attest to some awful narrators in the world of audio books.

Just read "Death of Kings". Very impressed by "..., saw her tip take an eye, skewered it hard. A massive blow hit my shield, splintering a board." and imagined it spread over six lines - Anglo/Saxon poetry

I hope this was deliberate. Looking forward to the next.

yours,

Dear Mr. Cornwell,
I'm afraid this gonna be a fanmail. I'm sorry  ;)
I want to thank you for the guts you've showed in the eighties, to write a Sharp-book, as a way of living in the USA, and start your career as a writer. Apollo blessed you with great en wise Muses (is it Clio, or Calliope?), and you bring hours of adventure in people's ordinairy lives. Thank you so much, also from my friends who already have the same curious disease as I have: the "Cornwellis"!

Hello Bernard.

First, let me say I am a huge fan. As a fellow Cape Codder and a dedicated birdwatcher, I especially appreciate the detailed descriptions of nature and bird life in the English countryside which are liberally sprinkled through your books. Please keep it coming! With my name, how could I not be an Anglophile? BTW, I met you some years ago when I did some work at your home. That is when I began reading your works and have been hooked ever since. Thanks!
