Mr. Cornwell, My name Is benjamin Kennedy, I am a half irish half german US Marine. Your books about Arthur inspred me as a young man and as I read them now, in the beginning of my second enlistment, I am even more inspired. I have always been fascinated with the tale of Arthur, and there have only ever been two tales I have actually enjoyed, yours being one, and the other being the series of books by Jack Whyte. I was wondering, with honest sincerity, what it would take to turn your books into a movie. Whether it would be a letter signed by enough fans, or maybe another process, but I do believe if the movies stuck to the book, they would be a huge sucess, plus the fact that these days moveis are rather lacking in new ideas, and stories of the old are those that inspire us the most. thank you very much for your time, and for your writings. Cpl Benjamin J Kennedy

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have read several of your books, and enjoyed all of them. I have not read any of the Sharpe books, not knowing exactly where to start, since there are so many of them. I have read and re-read the Starbuck chronicles, and , being a Southerner, I would like to humbly ask that you please send Mr. Sharpe on vacation, and bring Mr. Starbuck back! Very Truly Yours, Marianne Williams

Mr. Cornwell, I'm Lucas from Brazil and I really like your books. Reading the winter king for example I can learn about British history. In Brazil we don't have this kind of subjects in our schools and your books it's the only way to know about it. I'm very excited to read the new novel about the saxons people. You've so many fans here in Brazil, it's very hard to find your books !!!! They're sold so fast !!!!!!! Lucas Florezi

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Thank you very much for all of the Sharpe books. I just finished Sharpe's Fury and loved it. You are a wonder. Jania Sommers Charleston SC USA

Hello Bernard, It took me three months to go "over the hills and far away" - all the Sharpe books. What a magnificent saga! You're now sharing first place in my book reader heart with Wilbur Smith. :) I know that Sharpe and Harper will be back to fight yet more battles. However, I want to tell you I really enjoyed Sharpe's Ransom - stuff that tell you a little more about Sharpe on a personal level even though there is no historical background per se. I wish you would tell us more about Sharpe and Harper - and their kids - after the wars. Can't wait for another Sharpe / Harper? installment. I know that we meet Patrick Sharpe in the Starbuck series, so in the meantime I'm going to check these out. Too bad Sharpe is not available in French - I keep telling my wife (who only speaks French) about Sharpe. She wishes she could read the books. One last word - e-versions of your books are always available. Keep it up - saves the trees and I much prefer reading on my iPod or Palm. Cheers and many thanks for so much reading pleasure.

Dear Mr. Cornwell. I'm a Brazilian fan of your books and I think you are a great writer. I'd like to sugest to you to visit my country to hear our history. Here there is a lot of stories waiting to be written. Good new year for you!

Dear Bernard, Fate is inexorable. Fate led me to pick up your amazing books and develop a love for your historical fiction. It began in 2003 when I started working at Warwick Castle and met a very interesting man, Kevin Hicks.He was full of amazing and powerful stories from every era in history, he told me of your meeting at the Castle and suggested as a student of history that it would be a shame for me not to pick up your works and take a step back in time. Ever since that day I have been enjoying your adventures in history, naturally Kevin was very keen for me to pick up the Thomas of Hookton novels, which was just the beginning of a love for your work. You have been an inspiration to me, I hope one day that I too can produce, research and create such a magical place in the world of words as you have done, for so many people to enjoy and to discover the delights of history. I am eternally grateful to your wife, for the three spinners did indeed intend for you to end up in the US and write as beautifully as you do. If you ever need an extra hand with your research, I would be more than happy to volunteer my services, if only to say that I worked alongside one of the 21st Century's greatest historical fiction author. Yours sincerely, Holly Ingram.

As an avid reader of both your Sharpe and other books, I am hoping that you will be doing a book tour or even just a single presentation about your latest book. You can count on a warm welcome in New York City. Best regards, Mitchell Saltzman

Hi, I picked up a book called Fallen Angels years ago and have re-read it a number of times. It is on "My Favorites" book shelf. One of my two beautiful daughters call and ask if I knew Susanna Kells was married to Bernard Cornwell. I didn't but over the past year and a half, I have read all of your books, and Ms. Kells except Aristrocrats, which I have not been able to find. I received the entire set of "Sharps" for Christmas, and picked up Sharps Fury and will be sorry when I finish it. My girls struggle with the fact their mother had rather read stories of bloody battles that the current romance authors. My only wish, being a Georgian and familiar with the Civil War battles, is to see Starbuck at Gettysburg. He would excape of course, but it would be a really great story. I wish you would not mention the word "retire". As a sixty eight year old I am just getting to read, and read and read. Happy New Year Mr. Cornwell and Ms. Kells. Nancy Thornton

Lords of the North "Now Available in the US" 'Bout bloody time ;-) Thanks for all the good reads my friend! Matthew
