Your Questions

I've been looking for more information on Wulfric , it seems that many just write him out . I've been able trace my family back to him , so this was reason I began looking for him. Though their are some things written about him , they're very spotty . I've been able to link him to the Flanders of France.. I wanted to share this with you and I thought since you've a passion for the Anglo Saxons , you might be interested in what I've uncovered so far..   Wulfric , Ealdorman in Mercia. His father Wulfran of Vexin and mother Hildegarde of Flanders. Wulfrics daughter , Eadgyth (Edgitha) of England, Wulfrics grand daughter , Ealdgyth (Algitha, Edith), Queen of England.  Wulfrics Brother Alfhelm, Ealdorman of Northhampton.. Wulfric was deeply connected to the Knights Templar , Check Out Wulfrics Cave , Knights Templars cave in Royston ..    I've much more information that I would love to share with you , so please if you have a moment , please let me know what you know about Wulfric..

Sincerely,

Tracey Wooldridge .

When is your next saxon tale book coming out?

Joshua Dannar

 

Is there a title for the 9th Saxon tale about Uhtred? Thank you.

Terry Sullivan

 

Sir, I have read all the eight books thus far in the series and wonder what the plans are for Uhtred and his return to Babbenburg.

Is there more?

Hope so.

Cheers

Hello Mr Cornwell

I'm a big fan of your books especially Uhtred's adventures and I have a question regarding him. In one of your books you made a few comments about how Uhtred liked to take the amulets of the bravest enemies he faced and sew them to the hem of his mail coat. I thought this was a really cool idea and was wondering why you stopped writing about it and if you plan to do so again in the future?

Thanks

Neville.

 

Hi,

I have just finished Sharpe's Fury and I'm about to start Sharpe's Battle, I noticed at the end of Fury you wrote that Sharpe and Harper will March again, but when will this happen and where?  I look forward to seeing where they'll fight next,

Many Thanks

Hi Bernard hope you're well?

Excellent news about Uhtred being brought to the small screen.

Just a thought - Sharpe and Starbuck share the same universe (as you've acknowledged with Lassan) - and similarly The Grail Quest and the story of Azincourt - but is this true with all your historical fictions?

It would be nice to think that if Starbuck read an in-universe history book of the British Isles he might read a tale or two of Derfel or Uhtred for example.

Or perhaps Uhtred (or Sharpe or Nate or any character for that matter) is descended from a character in the Warlord Chronicles. Etc, etc.

Thanks again

Allyn

(I know it's a long list but you did say you'd name a character for me - the Saxon story you're working on couldn't possibly be devalued by a bit of "Allyn" surely? Haha)

 

Hi Sir Bernard,

I will not repeat the thousands compliments you receive these comments because they are all deserved, however, insufficient to praise your talent. You know that an archaeological dig will be held in the area of the Battle of Waterloo?

In your opinion, who was better estrategiste, Wellington or Napoleon?

Tiago Sepulcri Salaroli

 

I greatly enjoyed The Empty Throne, (and all the other Saxon Tales) and only complain about how long I'll have to wait before I can read about Uhtred's next adventure. One question: are you familiar with the Cadfael Chronicles, written by Edith Pargeter (aka Ellis Peters) and set in 12th century England? I have a particular reason for asking.

Hello Mr. Cornwell,

I love your Saxon Series, Grail Series, and Azincourt. I do not know about the others because I have not read them! But Medieval History is my favorite. I like to donate my books to charity and have done so, however, your Saxon Series is something I want to cherish for a long time.  Do you know if the series will be published in a box set, hardcover, and possible faux leather bound?  If not, it would be a great idea! I still have to read The Empty Throne, and from reading some questions on your site, it looks like Uthred has more living to do. Are there many more books to come in the series?  Thank you for your wonderful stories.

Sincerely,

Lawrence Thomas aka Lawrence The Valiant

Hello, Mr. Cornwell:

Two quick questions regarding names.

I've seen several interviews with you and the interviewers are all over the place on the pronunciation of your name. I assume you prefer the British pronunciation, rather than Ber-NARD. Just wondering.

Also, I'm reading 'Sharpe's Enemy' and when we first meet Dubreton he tells Sharpe his name is Michel. Throughout the rest of the book he is Alexandre. Minor point, and probably a printing error. But I thought perhaps there was some sort of strategy involved. Thank you.

Hello Bernard,

History only lives in the minds of those alive today and I think you keep a beat in that particular heart better than anyone so well done and thanks.

I'd like to ask your advice regarding when to make an approach to an agent or publisher while working on a book. Indeed, is it best to only do that once the thing is, to first draft stage at least, finished?

I'm progressing nicely on what I'm writing and am over half way through. I still need to move a few Hospitallers from Outremer to Languedoc but I can manage that, and wonder at what point the benefit of input from an agent or publisher should be sought?

I'd really appreciate any thoughts you may have.

Many thanks
