Your Questions

Dear Bernard,

just read on FB about an adaptation of the Winter King by HBO and Badwolf productions. Could this be true? My favourite trilogy being adapted for the telly box by HBO, who know their shnizzle?! I pray to Thor that this be true, and not the evil tidings of some supercilious priest!

Keep up the good work!

Hi Bernard,

I have just began watching your new show and love the adaptation from the books. Being a huge fan of the Arthur books (audio is fantastic, lost count how many times they have been listened too), would there ever be a TV or film adaptation for these books? Something like that on the screen would rival Game of Thrones with ease.

I assume this question has come up many times before but with this new series on TV it give me hope :)

Thankyou

Anthony

Stirrups - isn't the Saxon period a bit early?

Did you see the Wall Street Journal story about football (American) reading your books?

Hi Mr. Cornwell.

I'm guessing that your present plan is to continue coming out with Uhtred's adventures each year until his saga is finished, and only then turning to other writing projects.  Am I right?

Dear Bernard,

This is not the first time I've been in touch. I am going to read Warriors... next week; then what? Is there any point in mentioning Starbuck. So many of us wait hoping.

Kind regards

Hello Mr. Cornwell!

In your Last Kingdom books, you use a differing way of last names. For example, you use "Ubba Lothbrokson." Why do you use "Lothbrokson" instead of "Lothbroksson?"

Thank you so much,

Max

Do you have a connection? You sail a crabber, Sharpe (the original) played for Redruth. Uhtred involvement in the viking cornish battle at Hingston Down? I live at Mylor Harbour, Falmouth, admire crabbers, once sailed a gaff rig, once worked in Redruth after escaping Thundersley, where, as a child, living next to Thundersley Lodged often hunted in the Glen. Just curious.

.P S fascinated by Saxon connections in West Cornwall. Would love to write about the two Royal Manors there.

Hello Mr. Cornwell!

My name is Max and I am a thirteen-year-old author and I loved your book "Redcoat". I am writing a book about 9th century England, more specifically about Guthrum and the Great Heathen Army. In the preface of the Last Kingdom (I haven't read it, though), you cite the place-names of your book. Are they in Old Norse?

Secondly, where and how do you do your research?

Thank you so much,

Max

Hey there I have just finished the Warriors of The Storm will there be a book 10?

Hi Mr Cornwell,

First i'd like to apologize for my bad english, learning yet hehe...Hope that won't bother you sir.

Was eager to ask about Uhtred's personality, it's a common knowledge that he's a proud one.

Do you sir, contributed on Uhtred's  personality (TV) ?

That's a good point, because he has some bad and good things about him. His pride made things hard on him in the youth, he could get wealthy soon in the life if wasn't for that.

In the other hand, he always won his battles by mind, and then, by his sword. I believe that he just survived that long because of that.

I think it's something that requires some attention, because it could affect how people think about him on tv series. No one wants 'two Uhtreds'.

Warrior chronicles is the best saga i've ever read.

Regards,

Rodrigo.

 

I am a Brazilian fan of your books. First, sorry for my poor English. I’ve read everything you have published in portuguese language and some in english… Did you like the TV adaptation of "The last kingdom"?

I think they lost the essence of the tale… I will understand if you can't comment by contracts force

Mr Cornwell,

Somewhere in my gradually reducing brain capacity, I have the idea that the incident of Sharpe's field commission took place in India, and was changed to the Peninsula War for filming purposes. Any idea where this idea could have emanated?

Enjoying your "Waterloo" as recommended by Iain Gale!
