Your Questions

Dear Mr Conwell

I have just read your book with immense enjoyment.  And listened to your interview on BBC 4.

In your interview you mention the Selbourn/Seabourn/Selbourne letters.  Could you please tell me their real name and where one could find them?

Am in far-off New Zealand so hopefully some/all are available on the net. You brought Waterloo to vivid life for me - thank you,

Kind regards

Hello,

Anybody working in television as  you  used to do, wants to know what the viewer thinks of the programmes you are making. Is the same logic behind the "contact you" on your website where visitors can email questions? are you working out what the consumer thinks of your books, like you used to do in television?

Regards,

Adrian.

I would just like to say that since reading your Sharpe series and Waterloo I have crammed my bookshelves with your works. Can't wait for your next Uhtred epic! But do you intend to write any more on the English and Welsh archers? Your account of crecy and azincourt has left me craving more tales of these amazing men. If only Wellington had a few battalions at his disposal! Thank you for the pleasure your writing has given me.

Hi again, Mr. Cornwell.

I just finished Stonehenge, and I noticed, everyone was walking!  Was the horse native to Britain at the time, or was it a later import?  And how long after Stonehenge was completed was the horse domesticated in Britain?

Dear Bernard

I hope you are well.

After reading the Fort I wonder if you had thought of ever writing anymore books set during the American Revolution. Particularly the Siege of Charleston since you live there now and it was considered Britain's greatest triumph in the war.

Also  I wonder if you had watched the recent TV series TURN set during that period. Needless to say British Officers are either fools or psychopaths or sometimes both.  The real John Graves Simcoe to say the least, is a bit different from how he is portrayed in the show as are the Queens Rangers, who were more the 95th of there time than just a few mercenaries.

P.S In the book The Men Who Lost American (If you have not read it, I can recommend it) the author puts a lot of the blame on Rodney, for looting rather than watching the French fleet. Do you think that is fair ?

 

Nostradamus as a boy and man what do you think, as I think you could do a version of Merlin as you did in enemy of God.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Bernard -

I'm delighted to see that we're going to get a TV version of the Saxon Chronicles, but I'm still desperate to read how Nate Starbuck fares. It's a long time since you said you felt he was too similar to Sharpe, so any chance you might do just one more to take Nate through to his fate?

Just finished Waterloo . Absolutely wonderful . Have read all of your novels and am rereading Sharpe from stem to stern encouraged by the detail in Waterloo .

Have read all of Patrick O'Brians books for the Naval flavor of the period which further argues for the reread .

In light of some of the silly historical mistakes written about the Crusades , wish you would bring Uhtred's great(x?) grandson to the Mideast and tell the world the truth about that period .Thanks for writing !!

Good evening,

I am a massive fan of your books. When I finished reading the Sharpe series, I started reading your books about Uthred (A complete oaf and never fails to make me laugh). I just wondered if you have any future books in the pipeline for the Sharpe series or Uhtred?

Many thanks for your time and I wish you all the best all in your future work.

Richard.
