Mr. Cornwell, I'm a 29 year old math professor at a community college in Tennessee, although I'm originally from Alabama. I love to read, and I especially love to read history and historical fiction. I can't believe that I just found your books this year. So far I've read the Grail Quest series, Agincourt, the Starbuck Chronicles, and I'm working my way through the Sharpe novels (they're so many!). I love them all. My dad is an American Civil War encyclopedia, and I got him reading the Starbuck novels and he loves them too. However, he is very upset at me because I've gotten him hooked on these books that are ending so early in the war. I truly hope that Starbuck will "march again" as promised in the last book! I just wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed reading your work, and to let you know that I think what you are doing is important. Too many people don't take enough interest in our history, and your novels are a great way to make history accessible. I've learned a ton about the Napoleonic Wars (a subject that I have not read much about) just from reading the first few Sharpe books. So.... Keep up the good work and thank you. Aaron Willmon

Dear Mr. Cornwell: I am reading (devouring!) your Sharpe's series and so far love them all. (I'm now reading "Havoc".) You have such great historical knowledge! Yet, it was a bit disappointing to find a few wrong Spanish words at "Rifles"... And now I found a Portuguese mistake. (My mother tongue is Portuguese, from Brazil, but I am fluent in Spanish too.) There is no such thing as a "barretina"; it is "barretinha"; the "nh" sounds quite similar to "gn" in English, by the way. I hope my comment will not upset you, since I love all your books I read so far (started with Agincourt). Also, any chance you're coming to Ohio? I live near Cleveland and would love to get one of your books autographed. Thank you for such wonderful stories. I enjoy them enormously. Emilia Rosa Kette

Mr. Cornwell: Thank you for the Historical Education, the Wonderful Characters and the Great Enjoyment I get from your books. At last count I have read 32 of your works. Once I begin a book I can hardly get anything else done at home until I finish the last page. I wish you and your wife and long and happy life.

Dear Mr Cornwell, I'm a Spanish teacher of English and I've enjoyed your Saxon stories so much. I also loved "Agincourt" since Henry V it's my favourite Shakespeare's play. I really congratulate you for your work and if you ever happen to come to the Costa del Sol to sign books, please let me know, and I won't miss it. Best Regards Antonio Galiano English teacher at Benalmadena Town Hall

I do not really have a question I just wanted to say how much I love your books. I started reading them in early august and have now made it through six of your books. To give you some insight on just how much I enjoyed the stories I made it through each Saxon Chronicles book in less than a day, moved on to Agincourt and have just finished the first Grail Quest series and am l looking forward for the next two books, which I have on hold. : ) Everlasting thanks for making the past week so immensely enjoyable and I cannot wait for The Burning Land! -From a Humble Southwest Missouri Fan

Just wanted to say a big Thank you for the Arthur books. I am on the last bit of Excalibur, and am trying to make it last, though I know I must end it at some point. I have read a lot of your books,and I have to say, that to date I have enjoyed reading Derfel's journey so much. I also love Glastonbury/Somerset, so it was made all the more enjoyable, as I have visited a lot of the places on the books.I recently visited Solsbury Hill (Mynydd Baddon) and stood up there trying to imagine the scene in the book. I have never experienced so many different emotions whilst reading a book, and have really looked forward to reading my book each day. I will be sad when the story ends, but I have some more of your books to read. I like the Saxon stories,& look forward to reading the new one. But as I said,I have loved reading about Derfel & Arthur, so once again, Thank you! Long may you continue to write the best books! Regards, Laura (Suffolk UK)

Mr Cornwell, I had just finished reading the complete series of The Aubrey/Maturin novels by Patrick O`Brian and was looking for something from the same timeline, except from the viewpoint of the British army instead of the navy. The librarian turned me on to your Sharpe novels, and I was hooked after the first book! When I start reading them I just can't put them down. Well done!!! I'm just hoping they get more of them in stock, as they are missing some books here and there that disrupt the timeline. I also read your book Agincourt recently. I loved the story line, and hope you will write more on Nicholas Hook and his progression up the ranks of society.....perhaps to Lord? ;) You have a way of writing that draws me into your storyline and makes me a part of the action, which is the true telltale of a brilliant writer. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your works, and hope you continue to produce many more in the future. Thank you, Jeff Yoder

I just wanted to write and tell you how much I love your writing. I have not read Sharpe (yet)but Arthur, Saxon Stories, Stonehenge... ahh I love it the best ever and I think you do Briton proud and should be Knighted without a doubt. I can't tell you how many times I have read the series and I just wanted to thank you for endless hours of reading from Caer Cardan (sorry for spelling) to Agincourt I love them all. I want to thank you sir for the many enjoyable hours of wonderful reading, I cant wait for the next Saxon book. I have no question just enjoyment of your books and hope someday you visit our fine state of Alaska and I shall have you sign on of the many books I own that you have spun your tales in.

Dear Mr. Cornwell. I'm just would like to thank you for the good reading that you gave me in the lasted days. Sorry my bad English, I'm living in Joinville South of Brazil. But I'm a great admirer of your books, and when I came in your site, felt desire for wrote some words.I loved the Archer's histories. And now I'm reading the Arthur Chronicles. What I most like in your books is the reality that you describe de medieval world e medieval wars. In Brazil we don't have castles or old armys, your books are a good way for feel these medieval thinks. Greet's for the Brazilian people. By Matheus Garcia
