Hi, I´m one of your fans from Brazil and I just want to thank you for the wonderful books, expecialy the Sharpe ones. But here, despite the fact that you have a lot of fans, it`s very dificult to find your books, and we have only the Arthur books, the Grail Quest books and five of the Sharpe books. WE WANT MORE!!!!!!!!! Thank You. Leonardo

Hello Bernard! I'm a hugh fan of the Saxon series, but I have a few complaints- firstly, the books were so good, that, whilst I read them as much as I could during my tea and lunch breaks at work, I found I could not put the books down, and was warned several times by my line manager for lateness back to work. Secondly, I'm glad to hear (hopefully its true) that the 4th part is coming out October 2007, but - problem is, I can't wait that long. So to put it frankly, please stop writing such excellent works, and if you insist on continuing to do to, which I'm guessing is what you're going to do...please can you see that they are published sooner! many thanks,from a highly disciplined anxious fan.

Dear Bernard Cornwell, Last night, I finished reading Lords of the North, or rather, suddenly the book ended! I am thoroughly happy to know that you will write a sequel (or even better; more), but please, please do it fast! Don't waste time answering people (even me..) or anything! I read the Arthur, Stonehenge, Grail and Saxon books, and Uthred is fast becoming a strong competitor to even superb Arthur. Here in Denmark, I believe I'm responsible for the publishing of a translation of The Last Kingdom, because I reviewed the English version so exuberantly in the newspaper I happen to edit. So maybe you could write fast, just to return the favour? Lots of grateful greetings, Anne Knudsen

I'm trying to read the series in order and would just like to say how much I've enjoyed Sharpe's Eagle in particular - the best yet as far as I'm concerned - first class. Steve Malpas

My english is terrible, I'm brasilian,i just like to say that Arthur Books are incredible and i love read your books!

Dear Bernard, both my son (Henry - 6yrs old) and I love your Sharpe series and I have just finished Uhtred's latest. Loved the ending! I can't wait to read others in the series. Many thanks for all the hours of pleasurable reading you have provided for me. Dean Campbell (Casino, Australia)

This is the first time I have been on your website I am a 19 yr old from near Stratford upon Avon I would just like to say I think your books are fantastic I've read nearly every book you've written - all the Sharpes, Arthurs, Grail Quests, Saxon and Stonehenge. My mum just bought me the new Sharpes Fury which I am just about to start reading now. I have always had a great interest in military history especially the Napoleonic and medieval periods and your books help to bring it life. Richard Cawley

dear sir, I know it won't be Mr Cornwell who reads this but please tell him that his book 'the Pale Horseman' was the first book I have ever read. I' 22 years old and its started a love of books that no other book has, and god knows i've tried, thankyou. Andrew

Dear Sir, I have just finshed reading Sharpe's Fury and I have to say how pleased I was with the book. As a serving member of the Royal Irish Rangers (Territorial army) it was really nice to read about the 87th and the capture of the 8ths eagle at Barrosa. I noticed in your historical note that you couldn't decide between Masterson or Masterman - well you went with the name Masterson which was a good thing as any thing I have seen has always called him Sgt Masterson. In fact in our junior ranks club we have a gorgeous painting of the capture and it does indeed say Sgt Masterson and at any regimental dinners or events in which the battle is mentioned he is always called Masterson. However, enough of me rambling. Many thanks for another great novel, keep them coming. Much regards Rgr Simon Richardson FAUGH-A-BALLAGH

I have just finished the 4 Starbuck Chronicles, have thoroughly enjoyed them and crave more of the same. Please bring him back to carry on the good fight.

Hi Bernard - I'm happy to have discovered your work, not by way of Sharpe as most, but through your Arthur books. Your Merlin is an exquisite character, and it's a pleasure to see Arthur "humanized," after being brought up with the legend. I read the Saxon stories as well, and noticed that Uhtred and Derfel share a background of being born into one culture and raised in another, and subsequently suffering divided loyalties. It seems as though their situations parallel your own, as a transplanted Brit? At any rate, I look forward to more in the ancient history genre (as soon as I finish Stonehenge, that is). Thanks for the great stories!
