Hello Mr Cornwell. My name is Michael Aguiar, I live in Deltona, Florida and while looking for books on King Arthur I found your "Warlord Chronicles". First let me start by telling you I used to read books very avidly. But after some time I found myself bored with them and ventured into the Graphic Novel form. But after reading the Warlord Chronicles and after that the Saxon Stories (all I could find so far) my love for books have been renewed. I've read several books since and believe it or not, your work inspired me so much that I started working on a story myself (following your guidelines I wont say about what..Laywers right??) but I was fortunate enough to have a couple of people already interested in the story.. I'd like to send you a copy of the book once (if ever) get finished because I attribute any success that this little endeavor might have to your books and how much they have inspired me. With all that said I have to give you even more congratulations because the research process involved in writing a story is crazy, so for all 3 Arthur books I would imagine you had a TON of notes everywhere! I never imagined it would be so much work! But Im enjoying the trips to the library, finding the maps and reading about that time period. I will never be able to tell a story with such details as you do but I will give it my best shot and hope someone reads it. Again Thank You for renewing my interest in the art and looking forward to read your next books.. Michael Aguiar

Dear Bernard, Thanks so much for your wonderful books, most of which I have read (and I am fast catching up with you). But, having just finished "The Bloody Ground" I really must appeal to you to continue with the Starbuck Chronicles. After all, you have lived in the States for some time, and the Civil War is our most romantic episode! And what great material awaits your pen -- Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg... After reading you, I really can't be enthusiastic about the currently popular Civil War fiction. I have to admit, however, that if you continue writing Sharps (or Uhtred) I will continue reading. Many thanks. Rick Phillips

dear Mr Cornwell it has been 15 years since I have read a book and I am now 30. About a week ago I was passing a secondhand book shop and in the window I spotted one of your books Harlequin. The cover stood out to me so much I went in brought it for £5 and took it home. I really enjoyed the book so I went to Waterstones and brought Vagabond and Heretic, I also brought the Last Kingdom, the Pale Horseman and the Lords of the North. I would like to say thankyou for writing such fantastic books. I have also got myself a book shelf to put them on. Will you be writng any more books like the Arthur books or Grail quest as I really do enjoy them. I will get the rest of your books to fill my book shelf and I will read them all. I hope this email was not to boring for you. many thanks, Darren Saunders, Bristol, England

Having read "The Lords of the North" as soon as it was available, and thoroughly enjoying it. I am unhappy to see, on checking this the official Website. That it still states that "The Lords of the North" is coming for the year 2006, shame !! I cannot name one novel from Bernard Cornwell, that I have not enjoyed. whether it be "Gallows Thief", "Sharpe", "Arthur" or Stonehenge. I have read them all, more than once. Long may Bernard keep writing.. Regards Dave Trickett an Avid Fan

Dear Mr. Cornwell! I have just finished "The lords of the North" and have read it with the same joy as the other ones. I can hardly wait for books no. 4 to ???. One thing you will not tell me, but, who knows? It struck me that it could be a strange but fine match if Thyra won't go to a nunnery, but would stay with Father Beocca. No? At least, will we see the two sons and the daughter Gisela promised Uhtred? I think it is high time that he got a woman he can keep, at least for a while and some children. And I am very curious how that possible one son will break his heart. By becoming a priest??? That would not just break his heart, I think that would kill Uhtred! :-) Whatever, please keep writing and making your readers happy like me. I know you will.

hi I would just like to say when I started rteading you saxon stories searies I couldn't put the books down and can't wait to find out what happens next. Craig

I love your books, I hated history the way school taught it but you bring it to life. I recently had a holiday in Northumberland (a stormy week in January) and I can quite believe how Uhtred loves his homeland. Obviously Bamburgh Castle (Bebbanburg) is relatively modern now, but the coastline hasn't changed and Holy Island is still wonderful. I also regularly visit the Somerset levels and York, so I can live the stories in my head.

Dear Mr Cornwell, I have one dream: A book with the meeting of Sharpe and Hornblower in a common adventure. As C.S. Forester is not with us - only you can fulfill this dreamn... With admiratin and gratitude Joseph Tel Aviv, Israel

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I am enjoying your saxon stories and grail quest stories immensly. My interest in writing to you is your inclusion of falcony in some saxon texts. I am not sure about the use of hoods on the birds at that time is accurate and would be so pleased to assist you on any matters that pertain to falcony that you may think useful.

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for writing so well, and so often. I have never been a fan of war, but have learned a great deal of what people go through from your fiction. Your characters are superb, your plot line is fun and creative, and your books are a joy. I've read them all, and now I read them out loud to my husband. He enjoys them, as well. Sharpe is our favorite right now, but I intend to read your others as well. Again, I realize writing is an isolating job. Thank you for your determination and high standards. Gayle
