hello Mr. Cornwell. I'm from the US and absolutely LOVED every book of yours that I've read. I loved Stonehenge, the Saxon stories (can't wait for Sword Song) but the Arthur series was the best. The picture of early pre-Saxon dominance Britain was so believable and perfectly laid out that I find myself thinking about living and trying to stay alive in that time. The characters you made were so awesome. Sagamor, Derfel, Oengus, Owain, Nimue and so many others with their own story and personality. I LOVED IT. `````````````````````````````thank you sir keep on writing. Jorge

Its probably really pedantic but in The Winter King a character uses the word 'tawdry' in speech. Tawdry is drawn from St Audrey and therefore only enters use after the beatification of St Ethelreada, known as Audrey at the beginning of the 8th century. I love your Saxon works, and its actually inspired me to get back into writing. Justin Norman

I would like to say thanks. I was never much for reading as boy due to a slight reading problem. 3 1/2 years ago at my future mother-in-laws house I picked up a book which told the story of Stalingrad. Not the sort of book to start reading as it is huge, I managed to finish it within a year. As I have always been interested in History and Napoleonic Times I decided to read Rifles by Mark Urban, as the 95th Rifles became the Royal Green Jackets I had a connection with it as my Grandfather served in the RGJ and I did with the ACF, I wanted to find out how they started. I had seen the Sharpe TV series as a youngish lad but never knew or even cared who wrote them until I had read the few words on the back of the Rifles book. I went straight down to the nearest book shop and bought the first 3 books. I have read all of them, and I also have Sharps Fury on my book shelf slotted into its right place waiting to be read. I am currently reading the Starbuck books and I was delighted to find that Colonel Lassan was Sharpe's Son, Bloody great. When Lassan's name fist came about I knew I knew it but I could not place his name in the Sharpe books but I knew he was there, Partick indeed. I hope one day you write Patrick's Story as he sounds like a very interesting person plus it links these two sets of books together. I have also read the Grail and the Saxon Books which are all on the book shelf. I loved the different style you used to write the Saxon books as if it was a Saga being told to me by Uhtred. Being Half Swedish reading about Vikings was a true delight. I would just like to say thanks again for the enjoyment you have given me with your superb stories and also for getting me into reading. I never leave the house with out a book now just in case I am in a queue somewhere. Many Thanks. Regards David Hodgetts

Just a simple thank-you. Neil Cassidy

You are a great story teller Mr.Cornwell. Thank you. Ahmad Makki

I've been reading your books for 20 years, and will keep doing so, but nobody will ever accept a Bostonian as a confederate, you should have made him a New Yorker. Massachusetts was the cradle of abolitionism, bay state troops really were fighting to end slavery. So Yankees don't want to read about traitors, and southerners don't want to read about folk from Boston. I know you were trying the "fish out of water' that worked so well for Sharpe but you picked the wrong fish. I've read all the Sharpe and many of your other books, great fun. As soon as I saw the premise of Starbuck I put it back. I noticed they quickly ended up in the $1 bin. I'm from Boston and a student of the civil war. It pains me to say you missed on that series.

hi I have enjoyed your books very much but in lords of the north I was disturbed by your depiction of the church leaders. As a devote christian I hope the church was more christ like as only two characters in your book were. I though the church were a place of sanctuary and the main support of the poor and sick, much as it is today thru out the world. Ivor Jones

Love all your work and with each one, I feel as if I am right there with the characters. I do have the complete set of DVD's for Sharpe. Thanks for putting up with letters and questions from your adoring fans. Jan Schaeffer

We love reading your novels, We can't wait till October when Uhtred returns to our lives, sort of feels like were going home. Your books definitely make us look deeper into our era of life. Donna & Richard

Oh, joy, a day to look forward to, January 2008, for the release of Sword Song! Thanks for working so hard on it. I'm in the midst of re-reading (again) the Grail series, so I'll re-read (again) the Saxon Stories from the start. Beth Harrison
