Your Questions

Hello Mr. Cornwell I've been reading and re-reading your saxon books for quite some time now. I wonder if you have family history with the danes and vikings? What made you interested in writing about them? Did you happen across a good fiction about them?? If so I'd love to hear about it if you have the time. Good luck! Sincerely, Melissa J. Walker, an avid novel reader.

P.s. Your Arthur Saga is pretty good... I haven't finished it yet. Which of your series is your favorite? Does your wife read your books? Sorry if I'm asking way too many questions, and some what personal ones at that... I look forward to hearing from you!

Dear Mr Cornwell, I thoroughly enjoy reading your books. I heard you on the Simon Mayo radio show the other night - what a great interview you gave. You said the next book, your 50th, would be set in the Hundred Years war - would that be a story with Thomas of Hookton or completely different characters? I am looking forward to reading Death of Kings as i really enjoyed all the other stories with Uhtred. thanks Jason Bloor

Dear Bernard Congratulations on another stunning book with "The Fort". Up to the usual standard, you must be the most prolific writer on earth! One of my historical interests has always been the wonderful story of Rogers Rangers in the French Canadian wars of the eighteenth century. It has rarely been written about and barring a rather hard reading version of his original memoirs, Ive rarely found anything about this epic tale. Always thought it would be a great subject for the king of historical story telling-and that's you! I am sure you are never short of material but it might be worthy of consideration. Keep up the great work. Regards, Les

ps if you wanted a bit of visual inspiration about the Rangers, the late and great historical illustrator Ron Embleton wrote and drew it in the seventies children's magazine Look and Learn.

Hi Mr Cornwell, I'm a 15-year-old boy who lives in the Highlands of Scotland and I absolutely love your Saxon books! I have read all your Saxon books and just finished reading Death of Kings, it was really good! I was just wondering when your next book will be or when you plan to start writing it? Also I was wondering what happened too Ragnar Ragnarson? I hope there will be much more books. Thanks for writing these highly entertaining books! Taran MacGillivray

Mr Cornwell I would first off just like to say thanks, I’ve finished the majority of the Sharpe novels and have enjoyed everyone greatly. I am just curious if you have thought about writing about the War of 1812 at all? With the 200 year anniversary of the war coming up it was just something that made think it’s be a great topic for a book. -Bob

Just have to say a big thank you for allowing your books to be made available on the Kindle. I am slowly adding your collection so I can have access to one of your books at all times. It was great reading some of the early material like Sealord and Scoundrel etc without putting any more creases in my stored hardbacks. I am about halfway through Death of Kings and it's amazing, well worth the wait! It's nice to feel safe now when trying to read a book in the gym without the additional worry of falling off one of the machines when trying to turn a page. Will we see Richard Sharpe again in the not too distant future? Kind Regards to you and your family.

Mr. Cornwell, Are there any collections of the Sharpe novels available, or are the single novels all that are out there? I'd love to have all of the full novels in 3-5 volumes! Thanks!

Hi - I wanted to feedback a discrepancy I found in 2 of your books. In the book Fortress, chapter 11, Sergeant Hakeswill "was alone with the serpent" so I assume he died. In the book Gold, chapter 19, Teresa asks Sharpe whether he has killed Morris and Sergeant Hakeswill and Sharpe answers "Not yet". Given Gold took place in 1810 and Fortress in 1803, and Hakeswill dies in Fortress in 1803, why did Sharpe tell Teresa that Hakeswill is not dead yet? Thank you. Fulvio PS - I enjoy your books very much!

Dear Bernard, I'm re-reding the Sharpe series for the umpteenth time and enjoying them as ever.Will we ever see them caught up on the wrong side of the Atlantic in 1812? James
