Your Questions

I really like Nimue especially in the first and second book. I think she was unfairly villianised. She was a victim of statutory rape from a young age and lost her eye and then was briefly with Derfel. As there are two sides to every story and this book is written from a male perspective I think her actions were a direct result of what happened to her. Do you think she really wanted to be with Derfel but was too proud to tell him and was her later craze for power a direct result of rejection and abuse?

I was looking at Peninsular War battles that Sharpe might have ended up at and stumbled across one that doesn't seem to come up very often: Sahagun, which marked the end of Sir John Moore's advance into Spain before the retreat to Corunna.I wondered if, should you ever go back to deal with Rolica and Vimeiro, you considered placing Sharpe there.It does seem unlikely he'd end up in a cavalry engagement but he made it to Garcia Hernandez...Thank you for the books,

Michael.

Dear Mr. Cornwell;
I enjoy your writings very much. Big fan of all the series, but especially the Winter King and Uhtred Books. I am very much taken with how you go to the trouble of showing how hard it was to procure quality (let along appetizing) foodstuffs pre-grocery store days.
It makes things seem even more realistic, if possible.
One question I have. Have you ever enjoyed the writings of Achmed Abdullah? Not easy to find, but worth the trouble.
Thanks for all the reading enjoyment!

I have a favor to ask more than a message really. I have read and re-read the Arthur books looking for a certain line and can't find it, I was wondering  if you could provide the  " everything ends in tears" quote for me.

Dear Mr Cornwell

I have read and re-read all your books and thoroughly enjoyed them. Looking forward to reading the Pagan Lord, only sorry that you are not doing a book signing tour in the UK this time around.

I have two questions if I may.

1. Are you planning to do a book signing tour in the UK next year sometime?

2. I know dedications in books are a personal choice for the author and you have mentioned in an earlier response that these have been usually friends or family. With this mind, however, could I propose that the dedication for your Waterloo is to the late and much missed Pete Postlethwaite?

I have been researching my family tree and found a direct link to a colourful character, Uhtred the Bold. I seem to remember, in the historical notes for your first Uchtred novel, that you discovered a direct link to the same man. I would like to know more about him - wikipaedia is pretty sound on the bare bones - I wondered if you may be able to recommend a few history books where I may find out more. Finally, I am very much looking forward to the forthcoming Uchtred story.  Many thanks in advance,

Sue Winch.

Given the number of books you are writing and the focus historically being on Sharpe, would you consider allowing another author to support you by writing or continuing the series on Starbuck?  Its a little James Patterson in style, but it may help placate the Starbuck fans - myself included.

Best regards

Dear Bernard,
All your books have been a pleasure. I've bought everyone.
BUT I yearn for at least one more outing with Sharpe and Harper in the Peninsular..
Shall you ever give us one, PLEASE?
With best wishes,  Sincerely,

Tony Pontin

Dear Mr. Cornwell,
I like the Warrior Chronicles, read all of them and will purchase the next installment. However, I'm starting to miss Sharpe and Sgt. Harper very much (I suspect I'm not alone). Can we expect to hear about them in the near future?
Many thanks for your time and your very entertaining books!

Mr Cornwell,
Will you be visiting London again this year about the time your latest book is scheduled to be published and will you be giving a talk as in previous years?

I recently was given "The Fort" by a friend, I enjoyed it immensely. I am in the process of reading "Redcoat", also extremely good. I would like to know what other books you have written regarding the American Revolution.
