Dear Mr. Cornwell.(Best writer in the World)
With regards to Sharpe's life after the wars how did his daughter come to meet, let alone marry an English Marquis if he became nothing more than a farmer living in rural France?  And given that Wellington always thought of him as a rogue would he ever have been invited to the Waterloo dinners that he hosted?  I can imagine Dubreton or Gudan finding him out when peace returned as some of his enemies owed more to him than his English rivals. In this concept, is it ever likely that there would be a sort of "Sharpe's reunion" which I suspect would be more French than English. Given that Wellington was made ambassador to France would it not have been like that he would have met some of these offices (if they survived that is) and Sharpe's name brought up. Like many of your fans I would dearly like to know what happened in his later life. You created the interest with Col. Lassan in the Starbuck chronicles and then left us in the dark. Please, Please write some more Starbuck as apart from being
brilliant it lets us in on this bit of Sharpe in a subtly anticipated way.

 
Finally. I read your "Questions Column" quite often but not weekly. Has anyone found out who Sharpe's father is yet and if they have (or do) would you display it prominently  to put us out of our misery.
Definitely, finally. How about an easier clue?

Dear Mister Cornwell,

I study history at the University of Mainz (Germany), now I´m writing at my master degree. Subject are the german soldiers at Peninsular War, at both sides.
I read your book Sharpe’s Enemy some years ago. You wrote about the christmas tree of the german soldiers. Is that scene fiction of you, or could you please be so kind and reveal your source of german soldiers with christmas trees in Peninsular War?
Kind regards,
Yours faithfully

Good day Bernard
I stumbled across the audio book for Death Of Kings and loved it. It was my first exposure to this genre and really enjoyed it. I immediately followed that up with the audio book of Pagan Lord.
After listening to both books I was a bit confused about something
I have a few questions about the pronunciation of certain names in the two audiobooks. In Death of Kings the narrator pronounces Uhtred's name as Youtred while the The Pagan Lord lord the narrator pronounces it as Oohtred. Similarly in Death Of Kings the narrator refers to the main character as Uhtred of  "Bambrah" (not sure of spelling as I listen to the audio version). However in The Pagan Lord the narrator refers to Uhtred as hailing from "Bebbanburg".
I am a bit confused as to why there are different pronunciations. Is it because the narrators are different and have their own ideas of how to pronounce these words?
Please advise
Thanks and keep up the great writing.

Mr Cornwell-
I am an avid reader of your historical books, and have completed the Sharpe, Archer, Saxon, and Warlord series.  I find them fascinating and historically informative.
But something in your "Winter King" book has bothered me.
On page 121, you make reference to a meal that includes "milled corn." I had thought that corn was unknown to Europeans at this time in history, and was a "New World" food.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Thank you for hours of enjoyment.
Regards,
Jim Stango

Dear Sir ,
I have read all your Warrior Chronicles, Grail Quest series,Gallows Thief,Stonehenge and Azincourt. I retired recently and have read and enjoyed them all over again. Have you a rough idea when we can look forward to the next....Warrior Chronicles...no pressure !!!
Any chance of a Sharpe type series on tv, with Uhtred. Time will tell?
Thanking you in anticipation

Having finished 1356 and yet to read Azincourt, do you have plans for the battle of Verneuil (1424) with eg. Nick Hook? It would open a whole new cast of characters, like the Plantagenet John of Lancaster (Duke of Bedford), Jeanne d'Arc and the "treacherous" Humphrey of Lancaster (Duke of Gloucester). Bottom line: I'd like to see archers return to your battlefields,

Kind regards, René

I have nearly all your books except 2 of the Sharpe series, I have noticed your mention of Saxons using stirrups, I understand that the Norman's introduced them to this country long after Alfred's armies were a distant memory ie Pagan Lord - is information wrong or are you using writers license?  Don't take this as a dig I enjoy your books and they have given me great pleasure

I have really enjoyed reading this latest series of books from the start. I first started with the Sharpe series and was hooked. Never thought that I would enjoy a historical type of novel, but guess I was wrong, and in turn it has also broadened my authors of choice, so not all bad. When is the next Warrior book in thye series out as at the moment I can find no information on it??

When will the next book in this series come out?  I hope you're writing one now.   I love this series.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you for all of your wonderful books. I just finished "The Pagan Lord". I would also like to thank you for not killing Uhtred. When do you think we will be able to look for the next installment?

Hello mr. Cornwell
I'm a Norwegian (northman) and Viking blood runs in my veins. That's probably why I fancy the Warlord C. as your nr 1 work. I have read almost everything else you have written also.
My Q:
Will you release another book about the great warlord?
