Dear Mr. Cornwell, Here in Brazil, we have somewhat of a Bernard Cornwell fan club amongst us in the American colony living here in São Paulo. Whenever one of us gets our hands on a Cornwell book, it is devoured and then passed on down the line. So far we've read 'The Fort', 'The Saxon Stories', 'Agincourt', and 'The Starbuck Chronicles'. Mr. Cornwell, I just wanted to let you know how much pleasure you have brought into our lives with your magical books and we won't stop until we've read all your publications! Congratulations for a job so well done!! Muito obrigado!!! Michael Alpert

Dear Bernard. having read all 5 books now about the Saxon Stories - I hope there will be a final book with he happy ending of Uhtred's dream. Excellent writing and a fantastic way of explaining everything makes this books so brilliant with a little disappointment on the end. I also read Stonehenge and will buy and read more of your work. Thanks for entertaining me in a long illness period. Regards -Eddie-

Mr. Cornwell, Let's have some more of Rider Sandman, please. Thanks, Charles Schwartzman

Hello Mr. Cornwell, I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to briefly express my fondness for your work. I have never been an avid book reader, and I think like some people I fall into the group that uses time and responsibilities as an excuse to not read. It was actually more than that, I never found it interesting enough. However, after finding your books, I have to tell you that you have absolutely transformed me and I am currently working through your library with enthusiasm. I have children and I want to share with them a fondness of books and interest in information outside of the normal quick and at hand information that doesn't relay the spirit and feeling of accomplishment after completing a well written book. So thank you sir. Your newest fan and deeply appreciative new reader. Miguel p.s. Uhtred rocks unlike any character I have ever read about.

Have just finished the "Fort" bloody fantastic, great read, it inspired me to find out a bit more about the war, and the characters used in the book, also found out that George Washington should have received a commission in the British Army, but was turned down, its a big what if! thanks again.

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have been an avid fan of your books since I first "met" you through Wildtrack many years ago. As an ex-Army man I felt that the Sharpe series had been written just for me, contrasting what I felt to be my weaknesses with all his good points: bravery, leadership and brilliant intuition! I have just this morning finished The Burning Land which I have been saving and looking forward to for months, I loved it, and of course; it kept me awake late at night until it was read! Thank you once again for the many hours of reading pleasure you have given me. Looking forward to Death of Kings. My very best wishes for your future. Michael D. Carn

Wuuuhooooooooooo ... don't you just blooming love it when Mr C brings out a new book!!! The man is a genius ;o)

Dear Mr Imagination*cough* I mean Cornwell, I write to you from a foggy, Danish 9th century hill fort in northern Ireland(the wonders of technology). I am currently re-reading the Saxon Stories for the 5th time which never cease to humanise that epic struggle! I just want to thank you wholeheartedly for many years of wonderment and awe. Ps. I shall try not to explode from excitement waiting eagerly for the "Death of Kings".

Hello Bernard, and first thank you for so many happy hours reading and so very many more reliving plots and characters in my imagination, inventing new situations or outcomes to the originals. For me the tale is just the start of the enjoyment! I particularly enjoy your way of characterising the viking peoples and view of life, it reminds me very greatly of books such as The Last Viking by Henry Trees and other such works that I read as a boy and which did so much to foster my life long love of reading and great stories. I do appreciate that you have plenty of ideas for future works already, but I do believe a traditional viking epic by you would be something special. Again thank you for all your hard work and the pleasure you give, Kind regards Andy

I found the the ending of the Starbuck Chronicles was somewhat disappointing versus the fine buildup to get there.. The Bloody Ground left too many characters in limbo and of course, it left out the Gettysburg campaign which I thought it surely would include. When you had the Starbuck character state at the end of the book that he would like to meet up the the villain Blythe in the future it led me to believe there was another book. Finally, if you will allow me to go on, a chapter or two of the final post war disposition of the surviving character would could bring home the evils and triumphs of post war United States... Best Regards, Don Brubaker

Dear Bernard, I am pleased to see that you are bringing new books out, but you haven't continued with one of my favourite series. I refer to the Starbuck series where you have left him hanging in the middle of the War of the States. It seems ages since I read the last one. I do hope you continue the series, particularly as he has Gettysburgh ahead of him
