Hello Mr. Cornwell, my name is Lucas, I'm from Brazil and I love your books, I've read the Arthur books, grail quest and just finished the 4th book of the saxon stories, and probably going to wait few years, until the book reaches Brazilian shelves, but until then I will read other of your books. Keep the good work! A note, your book covers, at least American and U.K ones, are not very good, so, if you will, check the covers your books are getting in Brazil, they're much better then U.K ones, for example, " http://www.kakofonia.com/gallery/?sectionID=1§ionItemID=208&imageIndex=0&page=0&src=home ", this is the link to the portfolio of the artist that made the cover for Saxon stories in Brazil, hope you have some time to look at it!

I am constantly consulting your map(s) in your books. I've read almost all of them and am sure I will within the next year. I'm reading faster than you are writing! My point is I would like to see more maps with more detail in each novel in order to follow the action. I read many authors but I think Patrick Robinson does a good job of mapping his submarine tales. Keep writing. More Saxon Tales (waiting anxiously for the next one), also more Sharpe, and Starbuck chronicles.

I just read Lords of the North and enjoyed your work thoroughly. When I was in college my history professor skipped over the dark ages because he contended that "nothing happened." As an adult I have found great pleasure in studying this era, from barbarian Rome to the conquest. Your book painted an organic picture of a time and place I like to daydream of visiting. I can see Uhtred, Ragnar, Guthred and Steapa as equals to Achilles, Odysseus, Hector and Ajax. Thanks, Joe

hi nice to meet you Mr Cornwell, I'm a firefighter from Guadalajara Mexico. I recently buy and read your book "Sharpe's eagle" your work its amazing. I try to find some more about your books but its some difficult here. see you bro.

Hi there! I just wanted to congratulate you! I have translated Harlequin into Romanian and I liked it very very much! Keep it on and... nice meeting you... through your characters! Kisses, Luciana

Firstly, thank you for all of your previous works. You can thank your Sharpe series for my repeat custom. It went from once putting down TRIUMPH to not finish it(as a 14yr old more interested in the Xbox), one day seeing someone reading the same book, picking it up again and then go on to reading every historical fiction book you have written. Annoyingly, as such with many novels that are turned to film, I think the TV films do not do the written versions justice. It may have something to do with the lack of extras!! The books would depict lines of thousands whereas Mr Bean would walk a line of 30 men at best to attack a fortress. I'm extremely happy by the hints of new Sharpe and Starbuck. At a shortness of your books at the moment I have picked up Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey series. Personally, three books into it and it seems there is no comparison. I'd pick up a new Sharpe over them any day. I think you have the entertainment Vs Historical elements to an art. Aubrey can linger on information and tends to lose my attention. Do you make many trips back to "Blighty" for book signings or promotions? The only thing that could top your reading experience would be meeting the author and getting my favourite books signed! Once again thank you for saving another person from neglecting the power of book reading. DH

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I cannot tell you how much I have loved (and continue to) your work. I've read the "Quest for the Holy Grail" series, and have just purchased "Sword Song" (after reading the first three in the series), and am GLAD to hear a fifth is coming soon! You are so very talented. I am glad to have visited your site and watched your video interview. I wonder if Thomas of Hookton's forebears included Uhtred? I look forward to reading Azincourt as well. No need to reply. Very respectfully, Sam Graves

Dear Sir You cannot imagine how sorry I am that I just ended your book Azincourt. For me the book could have had 60,000 pages. I was just fantastic! I really would have liked the story to go on and on. One day I even was too late at work because I just could not stop reading what was happening to Melisande's father when the archers were to kill the prisoners at Azincourt. This book would make a nice blockbuster movie. Any offers yet? This is the first book I have read from you - I had some Sharpe DVD's in my DVD collection - but it surely will not be the last. Thank you for writing Azincourt. Best regards from Antwerp Jan Verreth

I've been a Bernard Cornwell fan for quite some time, and have read all the Sharpe books, the Grail books, and Agincourt. No one tells a story as well. To me, the Saxon Stories are the best of the best, and reading the excerpt from The Burning Land confirms the fact. I may have to fly to England just to cut the wait a bit shorter. Excellent series by the master of the craft.

Hi Bernard - love all your books. I thought it might amuse you to know that I've got a book out next week - a book on Lord Lucan. In fact it's more than just about him. It's BY him. I have merely acted as the Earl's humble editor. But to get to the point: I adored Sharpe's Fortress, and because of that I visited Gawilghur and Seringapatam ... and, as it happens, I've sent Lord Lucan there too. It's all there in the book - Lord Lucan: My Story. Many thanks for the inspiration! With very best wishes, Bill Coles
