Hi, Just finished listening to the Arthur stories. I loved them and they made my moterway journey so much more pleasurable in the mornings. I could relate so much to the relationship that Derfel had with Nimue. Oh to love and loath, we men have all had a Nimue in our lives's at one point. Big Al.


Q

Mate I've just read 'some' of the questions you get asked. Fair dinkum you have the patience of job. Enjoy your books and looking forward to Sword Song. All the best, Mike

Thanks for your reply. Incidentally, four generations of males in my family have had the given name "Etheldred". I never realized how far back that name went! Stuart Carter

Just wanted to say a personal thank you for another incredible read. I'm a writer too but not very successful as far as sales of my only 2 books are concerned. Just about to start researching my first historical novel and knowing how much I appreciate the little encouragement I get, even a 'big' author like yourself may well need a bit of encouragement too from time to time (although judging by your website I'm not the first to write my appreciation of your skills!!) I've devoured a number of your books over the years but have only just read Fallen Angels. Different to Arthur perhaps, but characters, plot etc were stunning. I reread some paragraphs just for the pleasure of the beauty of your writing. Thanks for sharing your talent. Anne le Tissier

Thank you. And best of luck with your next book.

I enjoy all your books, and thought you might enjoy this clip. Just a regular guy building his own Stonehenge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRRDzFROMx0. The technology is amazing in it's simplicity! Thanks for the many hours of enjoyment you have given me. Kevin Turner Chillicothe, Illinois

Thanks! I did enjoy it!


Q

Mr Cornwell, I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know what a fantastic writer you are. I have read all of your books in the span of a little over 3 months and must say it was a fantastic 3 months! I find each and every one riveting. I have read a lot of historical fiction and you are, by far, the best purveyor of it. I won't ask what you're currently working on or what your plans are for future books because I don't care. I will read them and enjoy them immensely.

Dear Author (I have no idea how to address you as I somehow think I know you ,but dont, weird huh) I have just finished the last book in the Uthred series, and am as impressed by this as I have been by all of your work, there is unhappily one problem, I seem to be able to read much faster, than you seem to be able to write. I have the solution you must buy slaves to do the mundane tasks of your life so that you will be able to spend more time writing ,and researching your wonderful stories. I am sure Uhtred or Ragnar would provide you with some suitable bodies ,but if not then I will just have to wait until you get around to it or possibly reread some of you earlier books. PS thanks for all the pleasure. Jack McGill


Q

I just finished your three Saxon stories, and couldn't put them down. Thank you so much. I just purchased the first of the Arthur books. PLEASE tell me that you're working on a follow-up to Lords of the North. I can't wait to see how Uhtred takes Bennanburg. I've never written a fan letter, and well here I am. Best Wishes, Mark Nelson

OK, I will tell you that I am now working on the fourth (but not the last) book of the Saxon stories. We hope to have it published in October of this year. Thanks for your message!


Q

Dear Mr Cornwell , Re SHARP BOOKS You have got me reading again , I use to find it hard to concentrate on books when I was much younger . What I do like about your books is that I can put them down for lets say 3 or 4 days and the go back to them and still remember what has happened in the story . I can also appreciate the hard work and the studying you must of had to do for these stories , you must have burnt a lot of midnight oil . Many Thanks W.J.Elisha


Q

enjoyed Arthur triology,except ending...after wading through circa 1000 pages,the resolution was not satisfying..a bleeding Arthur goes off to oblivion,an old Derfel stands guard with saxons on the horizon, and what of Derfel's family? his wife?..his daughter and her child?..the resolution stunk....needed to be tied, not hinted. john garhart

Sorry you were so disappointed.
