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.

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

Gareth Abbott

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

Hi Mr. Cornwell, I am quite interested in learning more about the French and Indian war and was hoping you would be able to recommend some you may have come across in your travels? Kind Regards, David Heaton
