Hello Mr Cornwell, I would just like to thank you for hours of enjoyment through reading the Sharpe series. I moved to southend-on-sea, Essex from Ireland when i was five years old and I am now 23! I grew up on the Sharp television series and only recently started to read the series, starting with Sharpe's eagle as where abouts the television series started. I am currently on Sharpe's Enemy and continually enjoying your imagination' creation of Sharpe and co, so much so my girlfriend has started to call me SHARPIE! I don't know why I've decide to post you a note, i suppose i may well be human instincts to want to thank someone when they have given so much enjoyment to you but also maybe because I'm afraid of one day the I'll run out of Sharpe adventures to read and hope very much there are a few still to be written. Even though i have many still to read! >From another person from Essex Thank you once again, Andrew Casey!

Mr. Cornwell this is the first time I have ever written to an author or really anyone I dont know personally for that matter. Im 23 years old from the great state of Maine and currently serving in the Navy; I enjoy history very much and would like to be a history teacher one day. Particularly Im a fan of ancient and medieval history which is why I suppose I like your work so much. I have never been into reading a great deal at all in my life, comics were my thing. My mother used to have to pay me to read books as a form of motivation. Since I first read your book the Archers Tale or Harlequin as you prefer in August 2006 Ive finished that series finished the Warlord Trilogy started on the Saxon novels and even read a Sharpe book. My favorites have to be the Arthur books your detail and knowledge helps me envision the life and time of the characters. The Sharpe novel I did read and I will read more was awesome in its own right, but to me the medieval times were rich in history and plenty of action. I noted you are continuing the Saxon novels and I hope to enjoy more of them. It is also my hope that you have continued success and for my pleasure a few more gripping tales of the ancient and medieval times. Justin Webb

Having just completed the Arthurian Trilogy I would like to offer my congratulations at a very enjoyable read. This is my maiden voyage into the world of 'contact the Author' websites and it is because of the great satisfaction I gained from reading those books that I felt compelled to do so. Many Thanks, Adrian Curtin (Ireland).

Dear Mr. Cornwell: I want to thank you for the wonderful novels you have written over the years. The Sharpe's series remains my primary collection of stories I have returned to for exciting, well written historical novels. The Saxon stories have more recently opened up a whole new world of landscapes, people and events out of the mysterious past. They're like the written equivalent of listening to a first person telling by an old warrior of terrible and wonderful times whose landscapes were peopled by fantastic characters. The only thing making them better would be to be read by a campfire with the smell of burning wood and cooking meat on the spit. Great characters - again. I find myself slowing down my reading as I near the end of each story. They are just too good to finish! Thanks again and keep writing! Best, John

Hello.I am from Portugal and I just had read the Lords of the North...That is an incredible book and the story of Uhtred is amazing...Thank you for the story. I have the 3 books of the story and I can not sleep until finish the 3rd book. Tks,tks,tks. Nuno Salgueiro

I'm sure you'll appreciate former riflemen of the green jackets are a proud bunch, and remind themselves daily of their heritage you helped to make so recognised worldwide. Just wanted to say thanks for helping to raise the profile of the rifles amongst the public over the years. Kind Regards, Jerry Dixon (former RGJ)

Just reading through Sharpe's Fury at the moment...I started it back in December, but my wife had our first baby shortly after I started and I never seemed able to find time to pick it up again....But it is a good read even after this amount of break. What I've noticed is that most of your recent Sharpe novels have been quite self contained....and as they are being slotted in where the timeline has space, there is little opportunity to link them into the story as a whole. What I would like to see is a good story arc involving some classic Sharpe characters...maybe a three novel story where Sharpe exacts revenge on the only loose end from the series.... Major Morris Anyway, whatever you write next, best wishes! Cheers, Phil Shean

I've just read some of the other comments on the bulletin board, such pressure from an eager and demanding public! So, just to add to it, what are you doing reading this when you should be hard at work on the next one! Many thanks for the hours of enjoyment. Graham

I would just like to say a massive thank you for giving us your wonderfully written books, especially Derfel and Uhtred. My boyfriend told me to read them as they would change the way i thought and they certainly did. We can't wait until October when Uhtred returns to us.(for some reason these novels seem to give us strengths and so once again thanks) Please don't think were mad, just young. Bye Donna&Richard

Since everyone is begging for more books, I thought I'd press you for more Rider Sandman! Please....pretty please! R. Bale
