Your Questions

Hey Great Cornwell!!!!... How are you????... Well, here in Brazil, the people love reading yours novels!!!... I´m, for example, reading the Graal Series Again!!!... Thomas of Hookton is the Best!!!.. Why, Mr. Cornwell, why not do a movie of this novel??? Thanks for your attention MMG

It's your fault! Early last year I was stuck in a Bishop's house in Popondetta, Papua New Guinea, waiting out a very severe lightning storm - 40 degrees and I had nothing to read, but the Bishop had a book case full of your books. I picked up Sharpe's Tiger - and couldn't put it down. I only got half way through before leaving so I had to wait until I returned to New Zealand to buy it and finish it. Since then I have read every one of your books including the modern thrillers and the romances. Initially I thought I could alternate yours with other books but found that when I would finish yours I would simply pick up the next one. I have bought every one. I travel a lot and recently got into Ipod. I have bought a few of the CD versions of your books but I don't play tapes anymore. I buy the downloads from Audible Manager, but recently found that they have some of your books which I can't buy because of my geographical location. Is that likely to change? Euan

Mr. Cornwell, I am a fan of your books, especially the audio versions as I travel frequently. Tim Pigot-Smith has an outstanding voice and does an amazing job with your excellent material. I am such a fan that I am worried about the wear and tear on my cassettes of the Warlord Chronicles. Will it be possible to purchase all 3 unabridged books on CD sometime soon? Thanks for all your work! Bradley C. Bubp

Just Finished The Pale Horseman, think Uthred is a great character. You've said there will be another in this series. Is there anything else in the pipeline? I suppose a new Starbuck book would be asking too much?? Another Sharpe/Rider Sandman would do just as well. Just please don't retire! C Farmer

WILL STARBUCK MARCH AGAIN? ALLEN ZEICHIK

Dear Mr Cornwell, I live in Belgium so my English isn't really good, but I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your books. I read the Arthur Books, the Legend of Stonehenge and I began the Grail Quest but the third book hasn't been translated in French yet and I can't wait for its coming out so I think I will improve my English with "Heretic". Do you know how much time it could take between the coming out in Great Britain and the coming out in Belgium? I would be very thankful if you could answer me... Best Regards, Charlotte.

Dear Sir, I'm writing to you to know the Italian book title in Italy. I try to explain what I'm looking for: I saw in different books you have a lot of your books printed in italian language with different company, and this is not a problem. Often the order of the books is different. I like to read books in the order the author wrote and print books. Maybe you can help me? Thank you very much. Kindest regards, Elisa Tagliavini

Hi, Bernard. I'm a reader from Spain. Congratulations for your great job and go on and blah blah. You know how it follows. My answer is this. Here (I mean in Spain), there are some of your books which haven´t been published (such as the Starbuck series). I don't mind as long as I can read them in english. The problem is I prefer reading them in spanish. Well, eh... my question: do you know if The Last Kingdom is going to be published in Spain? And if so, do you have any idea of when will that happen? I mean, I've been a year expecting this book to be published and now I'm thinking about reading it in english. The problem is I don't want to do it and, two weeks later, find the book in spanish. Thanks for your attention. Oerroc

Please can you tell me when there will be another Sharpe book out? hopefully soon. yours, Eileen Clough

Dear Mr Cornwell, first off I would like to thank you for writing your books I very much enjoyed them. I would like to ask if there are going to be any more Sharpe novels being written and if so when will they be out? Also is the character Lassan in the Starbuck stories Sharpe's son? Thank you very much for your time and I wish you the very best for your future works. Iain Forrest

I have just read your books 'The Last Kingdom' and 'the Pale Horseman' thoroughly enjoyed them. Are you going to write a sequel? - I'm dying to know what happens to Uhtred and Ragnar. Also enjoyed your 'Warlord Chronicles' and have yet to read 'The Grail quest' series - keep writing and I'll keep reading. Gerry Underhill Australia

Hello sir. I've just finished The Pale Horseman and loved it as I have the others. Just wondered if the last bit about Uhtred and his companions campaigning again is a hint that a third book is forthcoming? I certainly hope so!! If not, I know I'll enjoy whatever else it is you're writing. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us and helping us learn some history along the way. Liz Goble

Absolutely fantastic!! Thats all i have to say. I have been a fan for many years and have followed all the different characters with a passion. I just finished reading 'The Pale Horseman' and i can't get enough. I would love to know when the next instalment of Uhtred will be out. Reading your books has become a good addiction I can live with. lol. Kumbirai Nzenza

Hi Bernard, it's nice to see that you appreciate your legions of fans and take the time to answer their questions, so now it's my turn to pester you with a few questions :) 1. Which of your books are you most proud of? 2. Have you ever thought about updating this web site with a forum section, so your fans can discuss your works amongst ourselves? 3. Ever been attracted by the prospect of writing about The Border Reivers? a nice brutal episode of British history, although probably not widely known about outside of Northumbria and Scotland. 4. If a film was ever made of The Winter King (here's hoping) who would you like to see play the role of Derfel? Ok, thanks for your time and thanks for the many wonderful books you've enriched our lives with, my whole circle of friends are all massive fans, one of whom has just named his baby son Jack Derfel Robinson (he wanted Derfel as the baby's first name but his wife said no chance). Oh... One last question (sorry) Although your Arthurian trilogy is finished and to me it ended perfectly, to do another Derfel book would maybe tarnish the quality of what's come before, but the period (being the dark ages) gives you pretty much a free rein........ so would you ever consider maybe writing more about the Saxon incursion, but maybe from the Saxon point of view, it would definately be interesting and as history knows, the Saxons won out in the end... or we'd all be speaking Welsh, heaven forbid ;).
