Your Questions

Hello Bernard I am a huge fan of the Sharpe Series and was wondering if there are any more in the pipeline. I have read them all several times over and would look forward to another one (at least) to add to the collection. All the best Malcolm Ferguson

When or will there be a next Sharpe book.

As an avid reader of all your work, I suffer badly from 'Cornwell withdrawal' every time I get and read your latest work(normally done within about 48 hours) and know I have at the very least several months to wait for your next one. Apart from Simon Scarrow and Conn Iggulden are there any other authors you feel I would enjoy while waiting for your next masterpiece ? I'm not trying to flatter you(although deserved...lol) but I know I share the enjoyment of millions of other readers and the view that you are certainly the foremost creator of historical novels in modern literature. I look forward to enjoying many more novels to come regardless of which series they involve since they are all excellent.

Lastly, is there any chance that one of your novels/series will be made into a movie? The Sharpe series was without doubt an excellent production but was obviously made under a restrictive budget. Not that I would like 'Hollywood' to spoil them(as they so often do) but a full length movie (with cast of thousands...lol) I have no doubt would be a great hit at the box office. Best regards and MANY THANKS for hours of enjoyable reading and for brain stimulation- including a wider interest in the history of your 'era's.

Dear Bernard Cornwell,Thank you for your history lessons mixed with such great characters.I've read almost all the books several times.My favorite single book is Gallows Thief. Do you plan to bring back Rider Sandman again? Second question,what do you think of C.S. Forester novels?

Hi! Has there ever been any talk of turning the Saxon series books into a tv mini- series like the Sharpe books? If so would you ever consider recommending Sean Bean again to play any of the characters in them? Also....have you ever heard anything about them filming a "final" episode of Sharpe where Sharpe goes to find Antonia? I had heard some rumors but nothing concrete. This would be just a perfect ending to such a glorious, beloved series. Thanks so much for your time! June Willsey Phoenix, Arizona

Hi Bernard, just a quickie to let you know that I've become an obsessive reader thanks to your books.I first saw the Sharpe series on tv while living in new zealand in the 90's,ironically peter jackson rented the same house (fully furnished) to sean bean when he filmed lord of the rings in wellington, so Sharpie got to sleep in my bed!unfortunately we had sold it by then and were not permitted to pop in for a visit!. anyhow I've just read the gallows thief(it would make a great film) and would really like to find out more about 'the flash language' it's much better than cockney rhyming slang. I wonder why it died out as it is harder to translate for private conversations,there is nothing on the net about it.So much for my short message eh? kind regards John Hurt.
