Hello, Dusti again, I was reading through the questions and came upon the one where you were asked about christians being upset. I am a christian though I wasn't one way back then (referring to the settings of The Winter King and Enemy of God) and I'm sure the faith has changed somewhat, but I wanted you to know that I think every opinion you express in your books is wonderful and brilliant. Thanks again

Dear Mr. Cornwell, You don't need to take time out of your schedule (that I'm sure is plenty busy) to respond to this. I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful books. Your writing never fails to impress, and I'm particular about my reading. I loved Uhtred and I'm partway through the Arthur books. So please keep it up. :) Thanks!!

I have had the pleasure of reading most of the Flashman series by George MacDonald Fraser (he will be missed by us all). His humor and the historical placement of his "hero" kept me riveted to his books. I am hoping I will find your series as entertaining. If you haven't had the opportunity, I highly recommend this series for you and your dedicated readers. Art Grix

Hello, Mr. Cornwell. Another big fan from Brazil. I have read "The Arthur Books" ("Crônicas de Arthur"), "The Grail Quest" ("A Busca do Graal") and "The Saxon Stories" ("Crônicas Saxônicas"). All perfect, thank you. Now I'm waiting book 05 of The Saxon Stories (and sad because I read it's gonna be published only at the end of 2009 in the US). But I've already bought "Gallows Thief" ("O Condenado") and "Stonehenge" (the same name here) to read while I wait for book 05. I don't know if you are aware of what I'm gonna tell now, but there is a curiosity about the books of The Saxon Stories published in Brasil. If you put all the 4 of them together, side by side, their faces form one big face. Really nice. Greetings from Brazil. And keep healthy to write a thousand new books to us. Carlos.

Dear Mr Cornwall, I have recently become a huge fan of yours beginning with discovering Lords of the North and have gone back and fourth reading the enthralling Saxon series, I am overjoyed to learn you are updating Uhtred's story, please tell me that the faith book will not be the last in this glorious series. While I am waiting to be reunited with my hero I am catching up with some of your other works, I have read Stonehenge which I enjoyed immensely and have now purchased the Arthurian series which I am sure will give me hours of joy. Thank you for your wonderful writing. Your friend Elaine

Dear Mr. Cornwall: I read Agincourt and loved it...couldn't put it down. I especially liked the detail you added about the skill of archers and realism of the combat. Nick Hook is a hero that can stand the test time...like Richard Sharpe. I really hope you write another Hook book because I will certainly buy it and will, no doubt enjoy it. Sincerely yours, and with great regard, Daniel Hacking Sioux Falls, SD, USA

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
