Your Questions

Q

Dear Mr Cornwell, I've been a big fan of your books for many years now and I have enjoyed the sense of realism in them. I would like to ask however, how you are able to describe the military life in various ages in such detail. Do you have a military past? Matt

A

No military past - just a fascination with military history and an unruly imagination.

Q

what happened to Sharpe's child by Morello and Harper's wife and child and please can we have a happy ending where he goes back to Normandy? Graham Whitt

A

I don't know what happened to the child, but we must assume she lived happily ever after, just as Sharpe did in Normandy.

Q

Do you know whether "Sharpe's War" will be (or has been) shown on The History Channel in the U.S.? It sounds like a wonderful series. Oh, and I'd like to put in a request for another Starbuck book. Thanks for all of the enjoyment you've given to me. Bob Masone

It hasn't been shown yet - and I don't know if they have plans for it, but if they do we'll be sure to post the details to this website.
