Your Questions

Hello Mr. Cornwell, Are your books available in French, in Québec?
Carol Lynn Chevrier

Have read all your books and I always look forward to the next whether it is in the Sharpe's Series or another series. After reading all the Sharpe's books, I wonder if Sharpe will ever see his daughter, Antonia, again?

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I started to read your books this past summer starting with the Sharpe series. I have to say I love them all. I have a quick question that came to mind while re-reading the Indian books. I think that in Company or maybe Gold Sharpe tells Teresa about Morris and Hakeswell and how he wants to take revenge on them. In a sense he gets his revenge on Hakeswell. My question is will he ever get his revenge on Morris? Thank you for all the great books. Brooke Morey

Dear Mr Cornwell, I have been a fan of your books since I bought "Stormchild" by chance and found it inextricably interwoven with the fabric my fingers until I finished it ! I may be a slightly unusual fan in that I have never read any of the Sharpe series, but have devoured all the others. I am two thirds of the way through the latest utterly engrossing Uhtred tale, having got Lords of the North for Christmas. I would really like to think that the character does not end with this tale - I have followed him from his childhood and would like to pursue him into his eighties, as alluded to by him during the story. Will we hear of Uhtred again ? I am sure I will get around to the Sharpe stories soon, anything from your pen has held me captive so far. Any chance of further sea-faring adventures ? Although the Uhtred stories have captured my imagination and given a richness to my historical perspective, your fantastic stories of lives and trials at sea were what really got me interested in your writing style. I would love to read a new one, or do you feel you have moved on from that era ? Might be time to dig out my copy of Stormchild again ! Finally ( you'll be relieved to note) I find it incredible, and all the more to your credit, that you find the time and enthusiasm to answer so many questions from your readers. Long may your pen remain wet and in contact with the paper ! With much appreciation, Malc Johnstone.

Hi, will you be writing any more novels in the genere of Stormchild as I do enjoy these. Sharpes are ok but I do like your sea tales and stories. regards Stephen

I really enjoy reading your Sharpe books, and the historical account at the end. I have been told that you narrated, or presented a set of programs on peninsular battlefields which have been shown on Discovery TV. Is this correct, and if so, what was the series called? Regards James

First and foremost thank you Mr. Cornwell for all the reading pleasure you have provided me and so many others. When the film Master and Commander was released, I fell in love with the Napoleonic era as the setting for heroic exploits, and quick devoured all of Mr. O'Brian's works, and then languished until a friend recommended Sharpe's Tiger. The adventure was on, and doubly enjoyable for covering the soldier's side of the same era. Now Sharpe and live in my mind with their contemporaries Aubrey and Maturin. And I am extremely grateful to you. I am curious if you are familiar with O'Brian, and if you are a fan? Thank you and very best regards for the new year! Dane

MR Cornwell I have studied artillery pieces from the 18th and 19th century for many years as a hobby, after reading one of your books(Sharpe's Triumph) I was shocked by your description of light guns and Dodd's dislike of them. In my studies I found that a 4-pounder could fire at least twice as far as a 9-pounder and kill twice as many people in a file( around 14-15 ) it is not until close range when case shot is used that they become more effective. I found that this pattern goes all the way to 12-pounders and that it isn't until you get the really big guns (18-24 pounders) that you get a more powerful shot. thank you for your time Joe

Dear Sir, I just happened across a book entitled "The Sharpe Companion," by Mark Adkin. Did you sanction this book? Is it worth reading? Thanks, Adam

Dear Mr Cornwell I work in a library in the UK and have been asked a number of times when the next Gallows Thief book will be published. Are you planning another one in this series? Many thanks Sarah

Mr. Cornwell. I have enjoyed your books since I discovered Richard Sharpe back in the late 1980's. From my first book, Sharpe's Sword, I was hooked. I love the campaign-Pennisular War.I think I heard here about a year ago that you were working on an American Revolution era book? Could you please bring me up to date on it. I have read all your Sharpe titles, Starbuck, some of the Arthurian series and all three titles having to do with Sir Thomas the young archer. Enjoy your work tremendously. Merry Christmas to you and please tell me an American Revolution title is in the works to be released in 2007... Best of Everything, Terry Martin
