Dear Mr Cornwell, This 55yr old dad and his 13yr old son have both thoroughly enjoyed all your Sharpe and Starbuck books, and your novels. PLEASE complete the Starbuck Chronicles as you have left us both on tenterhooks. Or didn't the yankees appreciate the honest criticsm? Yours, Allan & Barnaby Sneller. Kent. UK.


Q

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I was reading through the 'Your Questions' section and noticed a comment made by Bill Ghormley (April 2012) regarding Saxon excavation sites that are open to visitors and this may prove quite geeky of me but in case others have asked the same question I thought I'd mention an yearly excavation of a Saxon settlement in north Norfolk, that I helped excavate last year. It is not only open to visitors every day but is always looks for volunteers to help out. And curiously it is actually Called SHARP (the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project). I am yet to read your Saxon series (I am currently re-devouring the Sharpe books for the third time) but I have been told by an archaeologist friend of mine that it is excellent and I cannot wait to read them!

Many thanks for that information!

Hi Bernard, i'm currently studying for my A levels and have struggled to work out exactly where i want to take my life. However your books (in particular the Saxon series) have really inspired me to take History further at University. Therefore in spite of the countless nights that i have been gripped to your books, i would like to thank you for hours of thorough enjoyment. Rob Paulson - eagerly awaiting the next book about Uhtred!


Q

Mr Cornwell I just want to say that I've been reading your Sharpe series and find it hugely entertaining. Captivating. Suspenseful. Even heart warming. I've enjoyed watching Sharpe grow. They are wonderful reads! I'm just about done the series (I'm on #18) and I'll be moving over to your other works. I am sure they will capture my attention as Mr Sharpe has. There's no need to respond to this email. I'm just sending you some praise. Thanks for creating such wonderful adventures. Warm regards, Stephen


Q

I really enjoyed the Saxon Stories. I just finished the Death of the Kings. I hope you are working on the new book for this series because it is great! I can't wait for the next one.

Dear Mr. Cornwell: I just finished reading "Agincourt". The people are so real to me. The atrocities makes me cringe. The sights and sounds of the woods brings me there. I hope "Agincourt" would be made into a major movie - maybe directed by Ridley Scott. I am not sure who would be the perfect Nick Hook. I thought Laurence Fox could be perfect as King Henry V, Saoirse Ronan could be a Milicente who is both brave and vulnerable, and Russell Crowe could make an excellent Sir John. Best wishes to you and your writing, Jenny Healey Hamilton, New Jersey, USA

Hello Mr. Cornwell.  I have enjoyed the Sharpe books as well as some of the others.  You are very informed on your history and the up dates on how the cities or places look today is very interesting.  Thank you for writing great subjects.  Keep up the good work.  Many of us will enjoy your books.  Richard.


Q

JUST READ DEATH OF KINGS AND WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE LAUDATORY COMMENTS ON THE BACK OF THE JACKET - I HAVE ONE COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS BOOK AND ALL THE OTHERS FOR THAT MATTER - THEY ARE ABOUT 1000 PAGES TOO SHORT. WRITE FASTER AND LONGER. REGARDS, JIM


Q

I just want to say that I enjoy reading your books. My favourite being the Saxon series. So much that I have joined The Vikings reenactment group. Not bad as a warband member of 63yrs. If you are in the UK in August there is a large muster on Lindisfarne

Thanks!  I won't be in the UK in August as I will be mostly on stage at the Monomoy Theatre, but have fun!
