Your Questions

I have read your Grail Quest books several times and love them. I feel like I have being watching Rocky when I have read them, and feel so proud to be English (hope that doesn't sound to sad!)I was wondering if you have plans for another Battle for Thomas? Happy New Year, Darren

I have simply loved every book of yours I have read, especially the Sharpe series. You must spend incredible amounts of time researching the circumstances and background, but my sense is you love it! Anyway, I noticed there is a BBC Video (staring Sean Bean) called "Sharpe's Challenge." I do not recall a book by that name, and the plot line (takes place in India after Waterloo) is not familiar. Is there a book on which this is based? Tom Keyser

Mr. Cornwell, I am more than half way through "Gallows Thief." Is there a chance that Sharpe will meet up with Sandman? John Eaton

Dear Bernard After recently watching Last of the Mohicans (great film) and inparticular the massacre at Fort William Henry I wondered how true to life that was Did the Colonel actually get his heart cut out alive! and where there any survivors?? I also wondered whether you had ever thought about the 7yrs war???? People now call the Napoleonic wars the first world war but I wonder if that title belongs to this war. btw you have mentioned books post Napoleonic-wars ever thought of either sending Sharpe with John Colbourne to the Canadian rebellions of the 1830's which seemed to have a lot of Napoleonic vetrans almost like there last hurrah or maybe to New Zealand and the Maori wars where the British bayonnet met its match?? P.S Just read the re-published War on the River Plate on the 06/07 Beunos Aires expeditions by Ian Fletcher its worth a read if you have not read it. Regards Geraint

Hi I have just finished reading Lords of the North and I loved it. Can you tell me when the next book will be availiable and also are you going to release another Starbuck book? Many Thanks Craig Nixon

I just love your books. I cant read anything other than your books. I have read the grail quest series, the arthur books and The Last Kingdom. I recently heard that "The Lords of The North" is not the final istalment in "The Saxon Stories". Is this true? And when will the fourth instalment be published, if there is a fourth book. Thanks, Faraz Khan

Dear Bernard, hope you are well and happy New Year. I've just begun reading 'Sharpe's Devil' and was wondering why you chose to use the American version of the word 'jailer' as opposed to the old English version 'gaoler'? Having read the majority of your novels, especially those around Sharpe I found this strangely out of place. Have I missed something? Be lucky old son and keep those books coming! Glenn.

Dear Mr Cornwell, in the author's not of your novel Stonehenge. You state clearly that the deitys and the religion described in the book are fictional. To what extent is the same true of the druidic deitys and rituals describe in the warlord series? Steven Howarth

Happy New Year, Mr. Cornwell. I've noticed, whenever Sharpe wants his sword sharpened, he finds the regimental sharpener with his grinding wheel. Why would this be preferable to simply running a whetstone across the blade? Would soldiers have been equipped with whetstones for sharpening swords and bayonets when in the field with no grindstone available? Alan Kempner
