Loved your Starbuck series. Was hoping to find the fifth but there were none. Hope to see it soon. Went through all four with in a month. I do the books on tape since I drive truck all day it makes it less boring. Being a civil war buff of sorts I really got hooked on Starbuck. Great reading though. Thanks, Rick Newlun

Dear Bernard, Thank you for the endless hours, days, weeks of enjoyment I have gained reading your wonderfull stories. I am a fan of all your works from Derfel to Thomas of Hookton to Rider and Uhtred and finally the man who introduced me to your work Richard Sharpe! I cannot wait for the next in the Uhtred series and also until my 4 year old is a bit older so I can introduce him to the delights of your work! Please keep up the great work and I would love to see you write any historical novel / series about the clans and tribes in Scotland! Gerry Fitzsimmons

Dear Mr.Cornwell.I am a late newcomer to your books. I have read the first four Sharpe novels back to back and absolutely enjoyed them and can't wait for the next one. I am currently reading "The Lords Of The North", once again back to back. Can I just say that the ending of part one when Guthred had betrayed Uhtred into slavery, and their parting of the ways brought tears to my eyes. I found it quite moving. I do not often put pen to paper, so to speak, being an old soldier (44) I prefer to keep my own council. But when something needs to be said I will. So here's to many more years of great reading and thanks. Nick Grant.

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I adore the Sharpe books, the Saxon Stories, the Arthur books, the Grail Quest books, and Stonehenge. I enjoyed GALLOW'S THIEF very much indeed, and hope you'll turn that into a series. Just an idea.... Thank you for your vivid imagination and your very careful historical scholarship. I'd like to write like you when I grow up someday. Sincerely, Laura in Texas

Dear Mr. Cornwell: I have been reading jealously all of the comments from folks across the ocean who have just finished Lords of the North. I cannot wait to get my copy here in NY. Your books have given me hours of enjoyment, especially in the middle of Iraq with not much to do. Thanks for those hours and for the many more to come. Yours truly, Rachel

Hello Mr. Cornwell! My name is Bruno, I´m from Brazil and I´ve just gotten acquainted with your work, and I must say it blew my mind. About a month ago, I finally went to a bookstore and got a copy of The Winter King (Your books had already caught my eye before, but I couldn´t decide which series to read first - I eventually just chose Warlord Chronicles randomly, and decided to leave Sharpe for last as it is the longest), and I don´t think I´ve ever been so enthralled by a book series before. As I said, it´s been less than a month since I started The Winter King, and I´m already about 25% into Excalibur. I am just writing this to let you know that you also have fans in Brazil, and that I count myself as one of the most fervorous from the moment I read the first line of The Winter King. Sparing you any more annoyance, I´ll just close this by saying that you are in my opinion one of the best writers of our time, and definitely the best historic/epic writer I´ve ever read. And also, as a future History major,I must say your work is truly inspiring. Your fan, Bruno

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I just wanted to let you know how much your writing has meant to me over the years. I've read most of your work now and most of the books two or three times. Historical fiction has always been my preferred first step in learning about the past. Several of your book series, most notably the Sharpe Series, have helped me to become involved with my own personal inquiry into different historical periods. If that weren't enough in itself, the stories are always so engaging and the writing so fine that I find myself returning to your books, as though to old friends, time and again. Many, many thanks to you for your wonderful work. Sincerely, Tom Hojnacki Franklin, MA

Mr. Cornwell:I just finished "The Pale Horseman" and enjoyed it very much. I'm looking forward to "The Lords of the North" with eager expectation. This series is of great interest to me as I am a descendant of Anglo-Danes from Northumbria. I have also read the The Arthur Books and enjoyed them equally as well. Roger Letsom

Mr Cornwell: Finished Sharpe's Fury a few minutes ago and noticed you are living on Cape Cod, another "wash-ashore" like myself. Have been reading your stuff for a long while, these days via the Sturgis library. Thank you for many years of enjoyment. Please continue doing that. D.V. Barnstable, MA

I have just read and thoroughly enjoyed 'Waterloo'. Just a point of interest - on visiting Waterloo some years ago and having a husband who enjoys researching things about Napoleon - we found a site with memorial where the Earl of Uxbridge's leg is buried. As far as we can recall it was in the town of Waterloo and in the garden of a house in the main street. A fascinating piece of history that not many people know about. Please keep on writing - I have read most of your books and have never been disappointed - once started it is difficult to put them down. With best wishes. Anne Datson
