Some how I missed the 2 books written with Judy, I assume your wife? I just finished the second one,The Fallen Angels. Wow! These, especially this last one, are among your finest! Please, if possible, continue the Lazen story. Not only was it riveting but I learned so much about the culture at that time. And, the books are about the plight of women of the time which you have not explored as much in your other wonderful books. Please, don't ever stop writing. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy reading! Sheryl

Dear Bernard, You have a talent and you capture a period that I love dearly. I am of Swedish and Norwegian descent, and appreciate the Viking element to many of your works. I also really appreciate the historical angle throughout your works. To be fair, the one criticism that I have is that your anti-Christianity slant comes across in your work and damages the stories slightly. This is my observation - nothing is black and white, but I feel that you sometimes create the church (which no doubt had corrupt characters) as completely corrupt and evil. And the pious characters are far too simple minded. It just doesn't seem reasonable that all such individuals would be that way. That said, that is the only criticism I have - and I have been looking long and hard for historically-minded fiction authors. Please keep up the great work and thanks for what you do. Sincerely, Nate Anderson

I have never enjoyed your Sharpe stories,but recently I purchased your Rebel and Copperhead, books and I think they are brilliant. The battle descriptions are so well written. Can't wait to read the other two. thank you.

Dear Bernard, Have just finished "Agincourt" What a great read. Could not put the book down. Brilliantly researched. As always. One request, please don't make Hook an ongoing hero. Kindest regards Alan.

Thank you so much for all the hours of pleasure I have had reading your novels. I go to my local Barnes & Noble here in Houston, Texas several rimes a month on the off chance that you will have something new out. I have read all the Sharpe's series and am always excited when you revisit his adventures. I just finished reading "Agincourt" and it falls right into form with all of your great historical novels. Thanks so much once again and keep up the good work!! Tom Burke Houston, Texas

Hello Mr. Cornwell, I just wanted to drop a quick note thanking you for your works. Please do mind any blaring spelling mistakes for I'm sure to make some. I'm a real estate appraiser in North Carolina (USA). I enjoy fiction quite a bit and typically like to stay with a particular author, (Stephen King, Dean Kootz, Anne Rice, Tom Clancy). A friend in the office suggested I try your Saxon series and explained that it was historical fiction with a decent plot. I crinkled my nose a bit at the thought, never been much into non-fiction which my brain equated historical fiction with for some odd reason. I'd just like to let you know, as far as character (hero) development goes and getting across a good story your methodology is amazing. You are honestly one of the most consistently good reads I've ever encountered and its a joy to start a new book. The only complaint I ever have is that I've finished reading the story and wish there were more and then I discover that you are extremely prolific. I'm starting now on the Sharpe series and am very excited to see that there are movies with the books. Sean Bean is a favorite actor of mine as well. I hope to send you a book soon for a signing (I read your description on how to achieve such). And do hope that you come to America sometime. Once again, Thank you. Your books are a rare pleasure to help us fans pass the days. Bobby McInnis

Dear Bernard Cornwell, I write to say thank you for your so excellent books. I am disabled now after years working underground, I started in South Crofty tin mine Cornwall and finished in Sierra Leone some years back. Reading your books has lifted me from the disabled thing to the Saxon world and that of Arthur, to India with Sharpe and France with Thomas Hookton. Thank you for all that imagination so excellently portrayed in your thrilling work. I had thought at one time that working 3ooo feet down in the sweltering dark was the most exciting thing I had ever done, not so! The Saxon chronicles held me thrilled until I had read them all, and your books decorate my bookshelf. All I can say is simply, Thank you. Clies Andrews Stevens

Bernard, I could never adequately express how much I enjoy sitting down with one of your novels. Please know I appreciate your time and effort. Brian Farrell

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your books. I was hooked after I read all the Sharpe books. I complete all the Arthur, Grail Quest, Starbuck Chronicles, Saxon Stories plus individual books. I keep them in my library and read them a second time while I wait for your next novel to come. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your fine work.
