Dear Mr. Cornwell, I'm a huge fan of your work, like many many others. I live in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, and unfortunatly haven't yet been given the chance to read all your material (the publishers here are really slow, but to be honest, they are doing an amazing job, specially on the book covers. Hope you had the chance to check out some of those). I'm not going to ask about book releases and all that, because i think its pretty clear all around the website. My first reading of your work was the amazing (and may i say, eternal) Warlord Chronicles. I almost failed my college exams because i could't quit reading! It's hard to get back on other authors after reading you, honestly. Well, just wanted to congratulate you and say your brazilian readers are growing by the day, and i have converted a few too by lending them the powerful Winter King. Keep writing! From your loyal fan, André Felizardo

I just finished The Last Kingdon in an audiobook read by Tom Sellwood. I must say that I enjoyed that so much; the words took on more color when pronounced by someone who has a much better idea than I would. I then read Pale Horseman and liked that very much too. Listening to the first book helped me read the names in the second. But, the audiobook had an unintentioned benefit. When reading parts of Pale Horsemen, I got into a bit of a hurry to see what happened next and found that I was rushing through my reading and missing some of the word pictures that you draw. The audiobook format took me through all of the words and painted a vivid picture in my mind. Really a marvelous 12 hours of listening. I am waiting for Lords of the North, and have asked Amazon UK if I can order it for US delivery; I don't want to wait until January 2007. In the meantime, I am going to start on the Sharpe Books; those should keep me busy for a while. I have read a couple of them, but not in order. And I will look for audiobooks too, because you are a beautiful writer and I want to enjoy the words and not rush to get through all of the Sharpe books. I will enjoy reading all of your past books while I wait for you to write more. I am only sorry that Uhtred will have to end his quest at some point, perhaps in Lords of the North. It is a fascinating time in history and he is a terrific character. I also plan on reading the non-fiction you have recommended. I am 53 and in good health, so hopefully I can get through all this reading before I am 90 years old. Pity that I have to go to work and take time out from reading. Please take very good care of yourself; we need more books from you. One of your many fans Rose Zapel

Hi Bernard, I just want to say i am really looking forward to Sharpe's Fury. Ive been collecting these books since I received Sharpe's Siege for christmas in 1987. I was 14 at the time and I spent the holidays reading it over and over. Its my favourite book after Rifles which in my opinion is the best book of the series and one of my top 3 favourite books. I work in Winchester and hope to see you on the 20th. All the best. Dave Cook

Dear Bernard, after being teased for weeks by trailers of Sharpe's Challenge . I was sorry to say very disappointed it reminded me of Sharpe in his early years in India for example the jetties Sharpe calling out for Simmerson and not Hakeswill (shame he died)the tunnell full of explosives the only real difference being our good friend Harper turned up . I would like to know if you had any say in this film or was it all down to itv . David King

would like b.c. to know with a master in u.s. history and 35 years teaching u.s. history I would not hesitate refering students to the Starbuck series for an understanding of the conflict. the research is flawless.

As with all the messages you're sent I must say how much I enjoyed your books, but mostly The Grail Quest series. If any book series in existance should be made into a film these should, with Lord of the Rings and Kingdom of Heaven hitting big. People seem to relate to Thomas in it because he isn't perfect but always comes out a hero, people seem to think if he can than there's some hope for them. If it was made well it, I think and others agree, The Grail Quest films would be bigger than the Lord of the rings. I would ask that you just consider the possiblities. Thank you.

Hello Mr.Cornwell,I'm writing this five weeks before the biggest exams of my life. I'm currently five weeks away from starting the leaving certificate and I just thought that I should thank you seeing as it's your books, which I have read many times before, that are keeping me going through all this time when I am supposed to be studying (who needs a job when I can read novels? me...apparently) and I would just like to say a huge thanks to you in that you have kept yourself clear of these pitiful "Grail" books and that your ones are original (I really liked Vagabond) and for that I am grateful (not that the words of a average Irish boy would mean too much to a writer of your stature) but I give you what little paise I can to all my like-minded friends (I expect a badge of some sort), and once more THANK YOU!!! Eoin.

As a homeschool Mother, I want to thank you for your wonderful historical novels. My 15 year old son loves them, as do I. We are looking forward to the next addition in The Saxon Stories. Sandra Alawine

Just finished the Pale Horseman,having just finished the Last Kingdom, having just discovered your Saxon series. I could gush like the starry-eyed fan I have become, but you probably get enough of that. All I will say is this: brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. And I'm kind of ticked-off that I have to wait until 2007 for the final installment. All this from a guy who hasn't even read any of the Sharpe books! Excelsior! Mike in Virginia

Just wanted to say how much I loved The Grail Series, Warlord Chrons, Stonehenge etc. I love your books and read them over and over. Please write more!!! Thanks again. Leigh Eldridge
