Your Questions

Of all your books and other authors that I read -- I remain first and foremost a fan of the Sharpe series. The descriptions of battles are like I am there. I'll never forget the first time I read the taking of the fortress in Sharpe's Fortress. My wife said I was in another world. My latest project has been finding affordable hardcover editions. Only missing 4 now. (Though some are ex-library and have seen better days - I take what I can get on my budget.) And I have read the entire series twice and I am half way through a 3rd time. Anyway - question - when can we expect a new Sharpe novel? I know eventually the series will end but I read a while back that you still had a few books to go. signed a faithful Sharpe fan ( when the time comes, I may have my Sharpe books buried with me. XD )

love your books. I just read the 4 starbuck books and wondered why you did not finish them? Starbuck is not finished but he has things to finish. Please think of 1 more book to set him free.

Mr. Cornwell, I know I am asking the same question as many people, but will we see Nathaniel Starbuck in the next couple of years? In the FAQ section on your website (no.11) you say in the last sentence, "But I hope to continue Starbuck before too long." Any plans for his epic long awaited retun? It has been a long time and many of us are looking forward to it. Thank you for your time. Ryan Desmond

Dear Mr. Cornwell: As a loyal Missourian and proud southerner I thoroughly enjoyed all the Starbuck books numbers 1 through 4. Will Nate Starbuck have anymore adventures in the near future? Sincerely, Daniel Kinder

got to say I'm a huge fan I was just wondering if there is any truth in the rumour that Azincourt will be made into a film , and if so do you think it will be able to do the book justice ?? thanks

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

Dear Sir, I've almost every book that you published except Thief Gallows. They're terrific. Now that you published 'the Fort' I would like to ask you what other authors would you suggest for the AWI and French-Indian Wars? Are going to expand your books for those periods? Keep on writing for I surely keep on reading. Thank you.

Hello there Mr Cornwell. Big fan of the Sharpe series, and was wondering about his father... Could it be a Highwayman?

Bernard, I am a latecomer to your Warlord chronicles which I really enjoyed, I read them in a remote and wild part of Cornwall which seemed to add to the experience! My question is if a movie or tv series were ever to be be commissioned, who would be your ideal Arthur?, and which is your favourite of any tv or film Arthurs?. Thanks Pat

Hello Bernard Ive recently ploughed through the "saxon stories" again in preparation for the new one & really cant wait to spend a few days ignoring the 21st century (and my wife..!!!) as I get to grips with it. I have spoken to you before regarding Caerleon and its role in your "Warlord" series & was wondering if you seen the recent discoveries made there. It seems that this little welsh village was at one time possibly the most important military port in Roman Britain. I live 5 mins away from it & never miss the opportunity to take in the history of the place & have enjoyed reading about Derfel's flight from Isca down the river Usk whilst being sat on its banks...Talk about atmospheric..!!!!

I'd also like to ask your opinion on G.R.M Martins "Game of Thrones" & the other books in the series. I have just finished his latest & I have really enjoyed them. I read somewhere that your work was an influence & that was one of the first things I thought on reading his books Finally would you be able to advise me on any good historical fiction on the anglo-welsh wars..?? Thankyou once again for all your work I have had the pleasure of reading it provides a very welcome escape from reality t.v. & overpaid sportsman...!!! Lee Davies Newport GWENT
