Your Questions

Hi, Mr. Cornwell. I'm a huge fan from Brazil. I just wanna say: I love your books, especially the Warlord Trilogy, Saxon Stories and Sharpe. Unfortunately we only have 9 Sharpe books in Brazil so far, and still wait for the release of Death of Kings in Portuguese. Currently we already have 25 of his books here in Brazil. But, I have a question for you: Have you ever considered writing a novel about the Battle of Rorke's Drift? It's a great English victory. Big Hug!

Hi, I am a huge new fan of your work! You probably won't be surprised to hear that it was the Sharpe TV series that led me to your talent... I am slowly catching up with you, I've done the Sharpe, Starbuck & Uhtred series & also the Fort. I've never read so much in my whole life! I am completely hooked, and find myself unable to put any of your books down once I pick them up... Prior to discovering your work my reading was somewhat limited - Tolkein and Conan-Doyle mainly, but you have opened up a new world for me! I love history, and your work really brings it to life. Well done and keep up the good work. Long may it continue! Regards Pete Austin Ps. Have you ever considered a 'Rorkes Drift' project? Would love to hear it as told by you...

Hello sir, first wanted to say thank you for your work. The saxon stories are some of my favorite reads. I first found it in the library on cd and soon bought the rest of the series also getting my girlfriend and a couple of my other friends to read them. So I was wondering if you do have a end in mind or how long you might continue writing them?

Also was wondering if you ever heard Mel Gibson talk about his love for viking tales? once again thank you.

I have recently retired after 32 years as a municipal politician. Now for the first time in years I have had the time to read for pleasure and I want to say thank you for helping me to make the transition. I read Gallows Thief and was hooked. Now I am working my way through your books and have become obsessed with them. Canadians are proud of their history but it is, from a world perspective, backwater. I was a former history teacher. In the Canadian History Curriculum, for example, we teach the war of 1812 with almost no reference to the Napoleonic wars. Have you considered writing something with a Canadian Theme. An chance Shape could find himself at Fort York or The Burning of the White House in Washington or With Brock at Queenston Heights? Thanks for helping make my retirement bearable.

Hello Mr Cornwell, First of all, I can't write to you without, (like so many others before me) expressing mine and my father's complete love of your books. They have truly inspired me to take a keen interest in British and European history. I have thoroughly enjoyed all your Medieval and Dark age series', but like so many I go back to the Sharpe stories again and again. 'Sharpe's Siege' being a favourite. Firstly I am interested to know if the Patrick Lassan who appears in the Starbuck Chronicles is indeed meant to be Sharpe and Lucille's son, and will a book ever emerge in which he is the main protagonist? Secondly, how much time do you spend in the UK? do you ever spend holidays here? Or do you only come back for research or Marketing campaigns for new books? I would love for you to do a book signing in the midlands area! Many thanks for taking the time to read this, Keep up the good work! Liam

Hello Mr.Cornwell. I have just finished reading Gallows Thief. I loved it as I have loved others of your books. Particularly, the Regency period is a favourite era of mine in literature..thank God I didn't actually live through it!! May I expect,or are their further novels following the exploits of Sandman and Berrigan?I hope so. Best wishes, Anita (Melbourne Aust.)

Hi Bernard, You are my favorite author by far, but who is you favorite author? Thanks A Stockwell

Sir: I've read all of your books except the Thriller series (of which I have 3) and Sharpes (I'm on to after Warlord Chronicles and The Death of Kings). I LOVE THEM ALL SO FAR!!!!! Question: Your bibliography state Sea Lord is book 2 of The Thrillers, but Crackdown and Stormchild both read Killer's Wake is the 2nd. Please help!

David Christopher

Just a question as to the order of the Thrillers novels? It says one thing on your website and a different thing inside the novels. Thanks, Tanner

Uhtred seems to share a lot of the same history of Thorkell The Tall. Any connection?

Hi Bernard, I have recently finished the last book in the saxon series and have to say its one of your best so far. I have read most Sharpe books, Stonehenge, the grail series and others. I'm not an avid book reader, it takes me a couple of months to get through a book but I know your's are always compelling. So my question, no spoilers please but is there going to be another Saxon book? And is Uhtred going to have other twists and turns on his way back to Bebbanburg (apologies for spelling). I would like to see him go back to Denmark before retaking his home, and hope this hasn't ruined the possibility of it happening. Keep up the fantastic work! Mark Jackson.

Mr. Cornwell, I am siting I the business class lounge for British Airways on a trip to Heathrow and on to Scandinavia. I am hoping to buy your next book in Heathrow. I am headed to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslow,Jutland.Any Viking suggestions?

What do you think of Fischer's book about Paul Revere 's ride . I agree that he did not do so well at Castine, but he does not seem to be the despicable character you portray him to be in The Fort.

John Ayres

I just finished listening to the audio version of "The Fort". Wonderful book, as all are. Paul Revere comes off very poorly. Is this historically accurate? I know that he was absolved of charges, but that always doesn't mean much.
