Your Questions

Hi Bernard,

I thoroughly enjoyed the grail quest, 1356 and Azincourt. I'm pleased how Thomas was mentioned in Azincourt as "a Lord who died of 1000 acres".

So my question is do you have any plans to revisit Nicolas Hook?

Regards

I was wondering if you are planning on continuing Uhtred's journey?

I'm longing for more.

Cheers

Hi Bernard,

Congratulations on the success of your career. I am interested, have you ever been tempted or interested in writing novels set towards the end of the viking age in Britain? For example around the Battle of Stamford Bridge or Battle of Hastings. Personally, I would like to read your story telling of Harold Hardrada.

Hello Bernard.

I just wanted to say that your works have been of great inspiration to me—and my work as a writer—for many years now, but I often find myself going back to your Grail Quest series. The atmosphere is superb, the writing is immaculate, and the story is simply brilliant. I was wondering if there’s any chance that you’d consider writing one last book for Thomas to bookend his story.

 

Sincerest regards,

Blake

Dear Mr Cornwell,

Do you think that you may ever write book depicting the English Civil War or the Jacobite rising of 1745?

Your attention to historic detail, plus ability to build a genuine, captivating story would easily play well along either of those bloody period of British history.

Kind regards,

Charles

I have enjoyed your Last Kingdom series and Starbuck Chronicles. I admire your diligence researching your topics. I’m wondering if there will be any more Starbuck books. It seems there are unfinished story lines I want to learn more about. Thank you for sharing your storytelling gifts.

Dear Bernard

would you consider doing just 1 more Starbuck story simply to close it off.?   Bloody Ground left a lot of open ended plot points and I appreciate you don't want to write about it but unlike Sharpe which has no open ended plot points they really do need to be finished and it would be a shame if you retired and they were left open.

Yours sincerely

Geraint

P.S if you've not read it, I really recommend Lee's Last Retreat The Flight to Appomattox by William Marvel. Its an excellent book on Lee's Last Campaign and Surrender. He does point out that the salute between Gordon's Troops Surrendering Troops and Chamberlain's probably didn't happen though

 

First of all i love all your books, not only Sharpe i have a little question. After reading a book called From Corunna to Waterloo with The Hussars by John Mollo?

It mentions Charles Jones as the Red Dwarf. Looking at his military career and connection with Grant and of dates of promotions i am 100% certain that he is our man. He was adj to the king of Hańnover. Have you heard of him?

Hello Mr. Cornwell,

I have watched the Netflix Series The Last   Kingdom 5 times now, and am on my 2nd read through of the Saxon Stories,  and one thing always enters my mind at the beginning.

As you have the best insight to your characters' "minds", you are the best source to answer my question. What do you think Uhtred's father would think of Uhtred's accomplishments and the person he became? (The main Uhtred, as I know he was renamed when his brother was killed). Would he be proud of him? In the books, especially it seems he did not like his son all that much. Would he like, or even love, the man his son became?

Thank you for your time, and thanks for your Saxon stories. They have enriched my life greatly.

Were you asked by your  publisher or tempted to write Fantasy Fiction when the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films and G. R .R Martin's books and tv series of Game of Thrones were published/released????

The Tolkien and Martin books are based upon Medieval Literature, Archaeology, Mythology etc.

Historical Characters like William the Conqueror etc, so there is a close relation between Historical Fiction which you write and Fantasy Fiction.

Obviously i know you have not delved into Fantasy Fiction but the  financial temptations must have been considerable.
