Your Questions

Hi Mr Cornwell

Would just like to say that I love all your books but especially the Saxon chronicles, I love the fact that Lord Uthred (who is a great character) comes from bebbanburg (bamburgh castle) which is only a couple of miles from my house. Uthred the father is getting a bit on in years now. so I would just like to know, if you have any plans for Uthred the son, who is becoming a warrior hero in the making, to have a more leading  role in future books instead of his father?

Thanks and so looking forward to next book

I will keep this short. I have nothing for you to read or to sign. Just one question.  In January a friend handed me a pile of your books neatly tied together with string. "Here. Read these."  She is never wrong.  So just as the Super Bowl was beginning and the chili sinking in, I opened the first book.  "My name is Uhtred."  I had to do some quick googling, and found that I was right to think that the name was familiar.  Ten years ago, being of the age when we look into ancestors, I had been given quite a short cut when researching my grandmother's family, Dundas - a one-half type written page - from my grandmother back to the 12c and a two syllable name.  Uhtred.  You often say that you are related to your Uhtred.  And I know just enough to get myself into trouble here.  But is your Uhtred a Dundas?  Aside from being curious, I love the books.  Thank you.

Hi, Mr Bernard,

Watching that Vikings at History Channel, I was wondering why we don´t see vikings women fighting. I read that was pretty common. There are something that you had studied about it?

Thank you so much. Just waiting The Empty Throne came to Brazil :)

Gallows Thief was a great book, but I was disappointed that it was not the first of a series.  Could there be one?

I have read many many of you books and series and I especially liked The Sharps Rifles Series.

I am having a good read with you and keep up the good work.

Thanks

Thanks

Will you be coming to the UK in the near future to sign books?

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I have just finished reading the three Arthur books for the second time. The second reading was just as enjoyable as the first. It occurs to me that these three books would make a marvellous television series and I wonder if this has ever been suggested to you?

Yours sincerely,

Hi Mr Cornwell,

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the endless hours of pleasure you have given through characters such as Derfel, Ulthred and especially Thomas!

I am hoping that my question(s)/pleas, like many before have issued, will get a favorable response (WE BEG YOU good Sir)!

(1) How likely is it that we can expect you to you conclude Derfel's story and Arthur's retirement? (George RR Martin short story format would be totally acceptable!!!!)

(2) How many Uhtred books can we be lucky enough to look forward to?

(3) My only demand - I NEED a Thomas of Hookton novel - or maybe 6! Please continue the story - it can never be stretched or prolonged for too long!

 

Many Thanks for the adventures and the new worlds you have allowed me to absorb myself into! In the boxing world Floyd Mayweather crowns himself with a self-styled cap with the initials 'TBE' - you Sir hold that amongst author's of this generation!

Mr. Cornwell,

I was wondering if there will be anymore stories about Uhtred. I just finished The Empty Throne and want to know what happens to many of the characters. Will there be any more Saxon Stories?

Just a note to say thanks for several hours of fantastic reading.  I stumbled across this series looking for something to read between seasons of the History Channel "The Vikings" series.  These books served that purpose and got me hooked.  I "binge read" the entire series of books, only to suffer minor depression at the end of Book 8' because there is no Book 9.  Will there be a Book 9 in this series?  Will Lord Uhtred ever regain his home?

Moving on to the Winter King now, but hoping to hear more from my favorite Pagan warrior in the future!

Thanks much for hours and hours of great reading.

I have read all your Uhtred series of books and watched all the History Channel Vikings TV shows to date.

My question is, in your opinion, how much of this show is accurate history. It is certainly very entertaining and seems to fit in with Uthreds experiences.

Last night Athelstan told Ragnar about Paris. More hours on Google.

Tnx
