Mr. Cornwell I am pleased to announce to you that I have successfully weaned my mother off of her horrid Stephanie Meyer and Charlaine Harris vampire romances and turned her into what I like to call a "Cornwellian"! She began reading "A Crowning Mercy" last night, and while it doesn't hold a candle to the Sharpe or Uhtred novels, I thought you would like to hear that you have brought an end to my misery and have put her on the right path! Who knows, maybe I can turn her into a full fledged fan! If only you wrote about vampires.... I jest, I jest! Looking forward to "The Burning Land"! I have it on pre-order from the UK! Good Day! Richard Mock!

Greetings, I know we have not heard from Starbuck for almost a decade, but I hope his extended furlough is at an end and hopefully a new book is in the works. I fondly recall reading those books while I was in college and I ended up attending law school at Washington and Lee University and anytime I needed a break I would read about Starbuck while enjoying the scenic backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I hope you will return to this series soon in the meantime I look forward to enjoying Agincourt. Alright I will beg, please return to the Starbuck series, we need closure. With Warmest Regards Steven Abbott

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Nothing important to say except, thank you. Finished the Saxon Stories, started the Grail Quest, and am excited about the forthcoming The Burning Land. You're the best !!!! Thank you greatly !!!!

I just wanted to say that you are my favorite author. Your books are the reason I plan to minor in English History when I get to college. Im a HUGE history fan and its one of the few classes in my high school that I pass with ease. I just finished Agincourt and it has to be my favorite book I have ever read besides the Saxon Tales. Thank you for writing such wonderful books, Sarah Cutler

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Hello. I am a Marine serving on the East Coast of the United States, and I'm reading Sharpe's Siege. My soon-to-be father-in-law lent me the first five while I was on my second tour in Iraq, and since I returned home (safe, with the rest of my unit), I've been devouring the rest of the series, mostly on my Kindle. I'm enjoying them immensely and plan to read the rest of your works after I finish the Sharpe series. I already read Stonehenge, which I enjoyed, despite the, as we call in the US at least, downer ending. I shared the first few books with a Corporal of mine and he's also working his way through, but I haven't seen him lately (the Corps has a way of doing that). I just wanted to let you know I enjoy the series immensely, both for the characters and the history, and that it gives my future father-in-law and I something with which to break the ice. As he (and the future mother-in-law) both hold PhDs in biochemistry, a common interest is quite the lifesaver. Keep up the amazing work, and have a great day.

I loved all the Sharpe books, Azincourt, and I have just finished the Starbuck chronicles; more please, as they are excellent stories, and as someone who is interested in the American Civil War, I hope you will put poor old Starbuck through more gruelling adventures. He always struck me as the kind of person who may have found his destiny leading him to the frontier, if he survived the civil war. He's a survivor like Richard Sharpe, and unlike poor Adam .... Anyway, many thanks for your excellent books. Azincourt was also a fantastic read, yours Dave Dilliway

I have just finished reading the four books in the Starbuck Civil War series and am thirsting for at least one more. I feel deserted and literally (?) starving to see what eventually happens to Nate. Does he meet up with and gain retribution from Blithe? Many questions but no answers!!

I recently read the last Sharpe adventure translated in french "The Sharpe's sword". As all of your story, I always appreciate the story and the way you did it. I'm waiting for the next one and i hope I wont wait so much. I also hope the french translate of Azincourt. Thanks so much for all. Arnaud Valeix

Dear Bernard I must admit that I had never read your work before but I have just finished reading The Grail Quest - and I was spell bound for two weeks. I initially purchased Harlequin because I am very interested in the Hundred Year War and read somewhere that you used this in one of your novels. As I ploughed through the book I realised that you recounting events as I had always envisioned them. But you managed to add something extra to what I already thought I knew. I was sent back in time and was experiencing the sights and sounds of the period. Your eye for detail is extraordinary and the tale of Thomas Hookton left me enthralled throughout. I immediately purchased the next two in the series and loved every minute of them. I thank you wholeheartedly for bestowing these wonderful gifts. I thought there was a just and poetic irony that Guy did actually hold the Grail during the attack on Hookton. I believe he deserved his death at the hands of Thomas, but I still think he was a passionate and pious man in his own twisted way. I laughed so hard when reading the Count of Berat's barbed comments towards his nephew. The bearded lady anecdote was hilarious. But seriously, I laughed, cried and felt anger during the rollercoaster of The Grail Quest and am sad that it has ended. But at least I have the three books which, in my eyes, stand as a monument to the greatest mystery known to man. You did it justice, Bernard, and for that you should be so proud. Yours Sincerely Karl Kessler

Hello Bernard, Just bought "heretic", read Harlequin. Can't find Vagabond. First time I haven't read a series of yours in chronological order.Pardons.Read your Warlord series first in stormy Tasmania. Derfel still my favourite, pity he didn't become a hermit monk..lol.

I know you don't like ideas, but what about Australia...anyway thankyou for your books and time.
