Dear Mr. Cornwell, This is a humble request that you require that the audio versions of your books be released unabridged. I am sure that the 40% that is heartlessly sliced away is as valuable and wonderful as the bits left. Please do not underestimate your audio audience- we want all the words too! Thanks, Steve

Mr Cornwell im just glad that you found your gift and it was one you could share with the word. I loved your Arthur books, I just this minute finished Excalibur, great read, thanks.

In reference to the question "Why do men love war" in the "Your questions" section, a clear, lucid, academically grounded answer can be found in John Keegan's "A History of Warfare." Happy Holidays!

I wanted to start off by saying thanks for the books; I have always found them entertaining. Especially your warlord chronicles, which I believe is your best work. I was wondering whether there was any talk of them being made into movies. You have written them in a cinematographic way and I would think they would translate well to the screen. And if so, I believe Ridley Scott would be well suited to direct. He has done similar work in the past, often has strong women in his work similar to you and has to my understanding wanted to do a Tristan and Isolde story of his own. Thanks for the books, Gareth.

Hi Mr Cornwell, I'm a massive Sharpe fan and especially like the period where Sharpe is in Portugal, circ Sharpe's Enemy. I think the thing i love about this period was obviously the fact that we were defending Portugal from their French invaded neighbours and you described the locations vividly with the mountain-esque landscapes, the hot weather and the fact that most parts where they were/marching to, were almost deserted. The fact that Sharpe was a Captain around this period was facinating aswell. I know you have said you will only do 4-5 more Sharpe books... Please let one of them be set in that period of Portugal again/Sharpe's Enemy. By the way I have every single 1st Edition Hardback of Sharpe all signed by the magical hand of your goodself. Thanks for the great storytelling and thanks for Richard Sharpe. Stuart Denton

Dear Bernard Cornwell, I just wanted to send you a word of thanks for some of the best storytelling I have ever read. Period. I am a writer/director living in Los Angeles and just wanted you to know that your retelling of the Arthur legends blew me away. For that matter, so have your viking and archer sagas. As a fellow writer, I am envious of your talent and excited to read what you come up with next. Keep up the great work! All the best, Jeff Brookshire Silver Storm Productions

Sorry for quite a pointless message but I just wanted to thank you for your books. I love all of them and you are easily my favourite author. And my favourite books of all time (and I read a few) are the Arthur series. They are just amazing. I was quite upset when the arthur film came out at the cinema because your story is a lot more enjoyable. I know all your readers, like me, must appreciate the time and effort you put into all the books. The research into every story adds so much to the realism. I would love to write a book someday but feel daunted by yours. haha. Thank you again, Ben (25, Bucks)

Thank you for Sharpe's Fury and all the other Sharpe novels. Each time one is in the bookstore I know that very little will be done for about 3 days. Fortunate that I am now retired and have the time to really enjoy the books. I also read the authors notes and am pleased to see that your novels and locations are backed by history (makes for a much more believable story) Thanks again Gavin Winchester

I have just finished 'Lords of the North' and thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to the next book in the series Thanks, Chris Gore
