Your Questions

Dear Bernard, Many thanks for all your great books! I love reading them, especially those dealing with British history. My question is: Is Death of Kings the last part of the Saxon Stories (hope not!) or is the series going to continue (hope so)? Kind regards, Karel Czech Republic

Hello Bernard, I've just read 'Death of kings' and would like to thank you for yet another amazing book, the trouble is I cannot wait for the next Uhtred storey. I've heard the your next book will be a very welcome return of Thomas of Hookton,is that true? Regards and many thanks Bob Warburton

Hi Mr. Cornwell, I was reading, and I want know... I know that existed an Uhtred of Bebbanburg in 1045, but I was reading and I discovery about Eadwulf II of Northumbria, and he lived in same time of Uhtred, and he fought against danes and helped Northumbria to incorporate to England... Uhtred of the Saxon Stories was based in him too?

I want know if in futures saxon stories books, you will tell about Battle of Tettenhall?

I have a quick question regarding e-books. Being a big fan of your books, I would really like to buy them for my Kindle. However, I'm NOT a big fan of DRM, which essentially means I can't keep the book if I ever change to a different e-reader. I've seen that it's possible to buy some of your books DRM free in German ( see http://www.epubbuy.com/ebook/sharpes-aufstieg-cornwell-3407.html and also http://drmfree.calibre-ebook.com/by/author/bernard-cornwell). Are there any plans to release your books DRM free in English? It would be great if so! Thanks, Leon

Fell in love with your writing technique and am now a devoted fan. I especially like the Uhtred novels, as I'm a descendant of Uhtred The Bold,(is he related to the Uhtred in your novels?). I once read that mastiffs were used in warfare, where flaming braziers were attached to the dogs' backs who then run underneath horses to unseat knights. I've been unable to find any reference to this and none of your novels mention this practice. was the article I read correct?

Greetings from an avid reader. I wonder if you would ever consider a few stories on the Latin American Pacific War amongst Chile, Peru and Bolivia? best wishes, John

Try as hard as I could to avoid it I have still got myself involved in the 'Who is Sharpe's father' mystery. Following an investigation worthy of Columbo I have reached the following crazy decision. Sharpe's father is George the Third. Am I right?

i just finished One Of The 28th - a Tale of Waterloo by G. A. Henty and was wondering if you have ever read the book and what you think of it if you have? I love your books thank you for inspiring me to think in a whole new realm of what the world was like besides what i learned in school. i grew up in Washington a little north of Seattle.(my dad works at Boeing)if you get the chance to visit make sure to see Paul Allen's collection of WWII planes out at Paine field.nothing like it when they fly right over your house. ps one of 5 32 pounders from the civil war is in the park in Whenatchee. I'll send a picture if you wish.

Hi, Big Fan of yours, read all your books, apart from the Arthur series, cant get into that series at all. But looking to the future, would you ever consider doing something on The Crusades,especially around Henry the 2nd,Richard The Lion Heart etc and most of the Plantengents, I feel this has never been covered in the Media and style in which only you or maybe Conn Iggulden could do it Justice. Henry the 4th is worthy of note, have a read of Richard Mortimers Book about him, its fascinating and you dont have to be a History buff to get the story, also because he has a rather more famous son he tends to get overlooked, but if it wasn't for Henry the 4th there would have been no Agincourt or should that be Azincourt, Enjoyed that book as well. Thankyou for bringing your Gift to the World.

I enjoy all your books, in particular, the Saxon and Grail Quest series. The last three books I have read were Stonehenge, Gallows Thief and Red Coat. I couldn't help but notice that all three books had significant characters with the same affliction.....club foot. Is there a reason or subtle message why you reuse that physical imperfection?
