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

A

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.


Q

Mister Cornwell, I've only read the Grail quest saga and it just awesome. I'm from Argentina and trying to get your books is quite hard (in english, as I definitely prefer to read novels on its original language. Whatsmore, spanish translation are not good). I would love if you can write something else from Thomas Of Hookton, I really enjoyed the character. Thank you so much for the historical lessons I learned from you! Finally, you're sinking me. I'm seriously considering quitting from college, as I don't have enough time to read your books!! Keep up the good work! And kind regards from Argentina, Fernando


Q

Hello, Mr. Cornwell. It's not necessary to reply, but I simply had to take this opportunity of thanking you for the many, many hours of reading pleasure you've provided. Being an avid reader, I've sampled the works of many modern (and some not-so-modern) writers, and can honestly say that all of your novels have left me wanting more - without exception. Should anyone ask me for advice on reading matter, my first question is always "Have you read Bernard Cornwell?" Looking forward to meeting Uhtred again. Once again, sincere thanks.

Q

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

I have just finished reading "The Last Kingdom". I bought it in a second-hand store only because it mentioned "Alfred the Great". I brought it home. and once I started reading I could hardly set it down. I do not read much fiction, but I read this book in 4 seatings. I am going now to purchase 'The Pale Horseman".

Q

Hi there Bernard. I would just like to say how much I have enjoyed reading your novels. I have the entire Sharpe collection, Starbuck Chronicles, Grail Quest collection, Stonehenge, and 2 of the Arthur collection. I have just finished reading Lords of the North - an excellent piece of work. Living in the North-East, with a great passion for Bamburgh and Lindisfarne, I relished this latest part of the story. I am avidly awaiting the next part of Uhtred's journey. Please keep up with your writing as you are truly performing a great service to your readers, Thank you. Stay happy. Stay healthy. Keep smiling. Live long. Keep writing (please). many many thanks, John


Q

I just finished Lords of the North, the 34th of your books I've read and one of the best so far. Keep 'em coming - I eagerly await each new volume. One minor irritant (tiny, but irritant nonetheless): your overuse of the word "heartbeat". I'm 66 years old and this is the first fan letter I've ever written! Best wishes. Stuart Carter

A

They wouldn't have known what a second was - so I asked myself what other measure of a small unit of time they might have used and came up with heartbeat. Sorry! Instantly ain't the same, and quickly is imprecise. I really am sorry - I'll try to find another form that is close to exact . . .


Q

I am a HUGE fan of your Sharpe Series, the TV series on the history channel got me interested in the late 90's. I am a huge history nut..major in college, so far I haven't found a series of yours yet that isn't great. Now reading "Warlord Chronicles." I have turned my brothers, and so many others on to your work..Thank you! You really need to get some movies going! You would make J.K. Rowling look impoverished. I am 41 yr old history nut who you have now also turned into a fiction reader. I've always been seen as a "jock type," but now I feel like one "Dungeons and Dragons" or "Star Trek" groupies. Anyway thank you for getting me and others interested in your work. I wish you could get a one of your series of choice on HBO,or Showtime. I like "Rome" on HBO, and your material is much better than the Henry V111, or Elizabeth. Now that the Saprano's is ending,,there is a void..If I had the $, I would produce your work!
