I have just finished 'The Bloody Ground' (having read all the Starbuck Chronicles in order) and would beg that you resume the series. There must be hundreds of us desperate to read of Billy Blythe's eventual demise - hopefully suitably grim. Simon Bird

dear sir, I am an infantry soldier in the british army undergoing basic training. My regiment is the royal Irish but I am temporarily stationed with The Rifles. Throughout our training your books and name continue to pop-up. And it is not uncommon on a weekend for someone in one room or another to be watching the Sharpe films. I would like to thank you for your excellent stories, they provide a much needed distraction from the daily routine that we endure here. My compliments. Ranger Cupples

Hello Bernard. Whilst your website has been on my Favourites for many years I have only just looked at the 'Your questions' section and I'm amazed at the number of contacts you get and that you take the time not only to respond but respond in detail! I actually met you about 10 years ago in a little taverna at Talavera I think it was? You were guest speaker on a Midas Tours Sharpe's War tour and enthralled us all with personal insights and stories together with Richard 'Rifleman' Moore's insights. One of those moments in life that will stay with me and is often raised during conversations with mates, such as "... well when Bernie and I were chatting over a few drinks..." you get the idea! Having been a fan for ten years prior to that and stil eagerly reading and re-reading every book ten years later I would just like to say thank you very much for creating a lifetime of the best historical novels around.Regards Stuart Clarke, Bristol, England.

After I finished reading everything you have written, I discovered John Sandford and Lucas Davenport. I have been absorbed in that awhile, but I did read your latest Sharp novel when it came out. Really enjoyed it. Have one suggestion for your sailing novels set in England. If you have a character constantly attacked by criminals with guns, give the man a gun! It's fiction after all, he is not going to prison for life letting off a few 9mm rounds. Bob

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I've recently began reading your Sharpe series and I'm presently starting 'Sharpe's Sword'. I haven't enjoyed a series as much as I'm enjoying this one since Louis L'Amours' Sackett series, and ALL of his other books I might add. I do believe that reading ALL of your writing, as did LL's, will bring me great future pleasure. I look forward to finishing the Sharpe series, believe it or not, only so that I may start the other book groups of yours. ... I, like several here, am an aspiring writer and, as per your request, I will never trouble your mental and legal areas,(LOL)with my wanting to(share)with someone of your stature. Thank you for your work that I am enjoying so very much. I'll comment again when I've finished the Sharpe series. Your ardent fan, Tennessee Dave

hey Mr.Cornwell, it's my 2nd time contacting you. I just wanted to say you should go see the movie Pathfinder it seems to be a lot like your saxon stories I was raving about in my previous message. Anyway that's it get, back to me, one of your great U.S. fans, Bleu Marceaux

I am about to start Lords of the North, and am aquiver with anticipation. But in the back of my mind is still my hope that you will write another book to follow The Gallows Thief. I bought that book in London (my first and so far only visit) and I enjoyed it so much. I am encouraged to read that you have at least thought of writing one, but discouraged that it has no confirmed space in your upcoming plans. I'm sure that your many thousands of fans would be so happy if you would decide to make it sooner rather than later!

Dear Mr. Cornwell, In late January of this year I bought one of your books, The Pale Horseman, while waiting at the airport traveling to a meeting. I never heard of you before and I didn't even know that this book had a prequel. Less than 3 months later, I read all three of the Saxon books, and all of the Grail books and all of the Arthur books, despite working full time and raising 5 children. Thank you for your writing, your novels are very interesting and well written. I am patiently awaiting the next Saxon book, and please don't keep us waiting too long. With Best wishes, Nena Mirkovic

We spoke some time ago regarding the pending release of the second Uhtred novel, wherein you speculated a title of Pale Horseman. I have just completed the third Uhtred tale. Sir, you once again, have surpassed yourself in breathing life into 9th century English history and I thank you for this. If able, please continue to allow us to peer with you into that swirling past and re-live in our minds those lives and events. Wyrd bid ful araed.

Hi Mr. Cornwell im a huge fan of your books and on a recent and first trip to London i went to Foyles and Borders. I was amazed at the selection they had of your books compared to the ones at my local bookstores. I bought Sharpes Chrismas and battle flag. I wish they had that selection here in the US. Thanks again for the books. Kyle Livingstone
