Hi our family have really enjoyed your Sharpe series - all in books & audio books (our son is dyslexic so gobbles up books on tapes & my husband listens to them while driving to & from work) AND on DVD - our family have had quite a few months of living Sharpe. I hope you do not mind - but we are cat breeders & name the litters after books - so we now have a Sharpe litter - funnily the litter was mainly females ( a Jane kitten didn't get named - what a terrible character!) Our blog of Kittens is at http://mandaburms.blogspot.com/2009/08/unnamed-litter.html. Thank you very much for your work! You have given our family hours of pleasure. Love, Leanne Morris, New Zealand.

Mr. Cornwell: I have read all of your books and am looking forward to the next one in The Saxon Stories--"The Burning Land". I am currently reading the The Sharpe Books for the fourth time. The first time I read them by publish date and the last three times by chronological order. Each time I read them I find more to savor. You must be wondering if I have more to do in life-----actually I do, but the ability to lose myself in your books is so relaxing. Thank you.

Hi, your Arthur books are a masterpiece as they are. I'm glad you aren't going to add to them.Your other books are quite good as well. Ken

Dear Bernard, I'm an Australian currently residing in Denmark. I have recommended many of your books to my Danish colleagues, in particular The Saxon Stories, with commendable feedback. Before I began reading your books I was oblivious to any British history throughout the Dark and Middle Ages. Now I have this entirely newfound interest in this period of time and cannot stop reading about it. I even spend my holidays in the UK visiting significant historical sites when I could be surfing and chatting up good-looking women along the southern coast of France, haha. I have read all your books and applaud every single one. Keep up the good work. Wyrd bi ful aræd. PS - Any plans in the future to drop by Copenhagen for a promo? Brgds, Rohan.

Dear Mr. Cornwell I just finished reading Agincourt, my first book of yours. To be honest I had never heard of you and stumbled across your book in the public library. As a student of history, I immensely enjoyed the book, how informative it was and the amount of research and thought that had gone into it. I would suggest writing more books set in the middle ages since there is a paucity of historical novels set in that era. Great work on Agincourt, keep on writing. Sincerely, Sukumar R. Iyer

Hi Mr. Cornwell, I just wanted you to know that my brother kept speaking of your Saxon chronicle books till I a woman decided to order the first book in the series. I loved it. It was fantastic. You totally blew me away. The best part is that when you described certain parts in the book, I could actually see it. I could see Uhtred speaking to Ragnar's father (The blind man) etc. I felt like I was there if you know what I mean. I really thought I was watching the history channel and learning a lot about the ways of the Danes etc. Your descriptions are just amazing if you know what I mean. I feel like I am there. Now I am almost done with the second book "The Pale Horseman" and soon to start "The Lords of the North." I am also listening to one of your oldest novels on Audio: Stonehenge. You have become a new favorite of mine and I will have to try the Grail Quest and maybe even the Arthur books as well. My twin Brother was wonderful to mention your name. I just wanted you to know. As a matter of fact, I live in Massachusetts. Small world don't you think? Have a great day and happy writing.

Dear Mr Cornwell, I live in Athens, Greece, and I would like to congratulate you for your excellent work! In fact, it is the first time I enjoy so much reading historical novels with settings so accurate in history terms! Although an economist, I study as a hobby ancient to crusades times arms and armour.I prefer the Saxon Chronicles, however I enjoyed very much the Arthurian Saga, too. At present I read the "Heretic" and I wait for the next book of the saxons. The older - chronologically- the better...Please keep writing for the pleasure of all of us who like historical novels!!

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Im a bit embarrassed to say that until recently Ive never read one of your books. I unfortunately find very little time to indulge in reading, but love to do so. Id like to say that someone turned me on to you, but that wouldnt be quite right. The story of how I got hooked is short, and I think you like it. My Father in-law who is in his mid 80s has quite a library that he is very proud of, and I think he feels that time is growing short for him, and the only person he has to shares his books with is I. So when my wife and our 2 children make our way up to Vermont to visit our families, he is always loading me up with booksbooks that he is just loaning me, but I dont need to return any time soon. Now my father in-law only likes historical books, and focuses on WWII and the U.S. Civil War. Your first 2 Alfred books ended up in his library as a gift by a friend of his. On one of my visits to his library the Viking ships in The Last Kingdom caught my eye. I was told I could take it, but it was a waste of time because some of it was fiction. When I decided to take it any way, he said I should take the The Pale Horseman also. I recently saw a part of Sharpe movie, and liked what I saw. Then when I was at Costco, they had all of the Sharpe movies bundled together. It took me close to a month to convince my wife to let me buy them. Once I got to watch them I was hooked. During the movies I noticed they were written by youand I remember my books. Just this week I had to travel to Atlanta on business, and since I just finished a Blackbeard book, I needed a new traveling companion, and grabbed the book with the Viking ships. I loved it and cant wait to read part 2. Ive never signed up for Author Tracker before, but because of that book I did. Im thrilled you have written so many novels, and thus will keep me busy for quite some time. This all started because my Father in-law had discouraged me from reading your book. If you dont tell him, I wont. Sincerely, Shawn Trahan Stafford, Virginia USA

The Arthur books were the greatest books I've read to date and I do wish they could be continued. I look forward to reading your other books.
