Your Questions

In your Sharpe research did you ever discover why the British Army armed their riflemen with Baker Rifles and not breach loading Furguson Rifles?

Hi, I'm a serving Officer in the London Fire Brigade I would like to thankyou for making my journeys driving to and from work the most enjoyable parts of my day. I listen to your audio books, Azincourt was fantastic, you bring history alive. Most recently I have listening to the Starbuck chronicles, after recently finishing book 4 I was disappointed to find that there were no more books in the series (yet??) Are there any plans to resurrect the series? It can't finish there surely, there is unfinished business for Starbuck not least of all with General Faulkner! Kind Regards, Spencer

With the 150 year anniversary of The American Civil War underway, are you going to undertake the continuation of the Starbuck Chronicles...many of your fans certainly hope so...Terry May

I started reading your books 1.5 years ago and since then I have read everything you have written. My favorite series was the Starbuck Chronicles, and I was wondering whether you were considering writing any more Starbuck books. Thank you for your novels, Ben

Hi Mr. Cornwell, first of all let me say that I truly enjoy all of your books. I have recently reread the Starbuck series for the third time; I know that your time is probably stretched to to limit with ever new and exciting stories, but will we readers ever see a completion to the Starbuck series? Thank you again for many hours of pure enjoyment, a very happy reader, sincerely, Andy Williamson ps. do you or will you ever come to Canada on a book signing tour?

I have just finished reading bloody ground and am desperate to find out what happens next and how people will respond to his injury for example his father if he survives

I have read all the Sharpe novels, and several twice. But I`ve been trying to locate the one I remember in which Sharpe, having been deceived by his wife, who has run off with his money and an aristocrat, sees from the top of the stairs at a posh dinner the man himself. Sharpe bounds down the stairs and then through the throng and the food. Please, which book is this ? MB

Hi Bernard , your Sharpe books are brilliant I really enjoy reading them and watching the series on tv. Please can you keep on writing the sharpe books , have you any plans to write more sharpe novels? Regards, Dell.

Mr.Cornwell are you really a descendent of Uchtred the Bold? Jake Trotman

Hi Bernard, I've just been watching Peter and Dan Snow's Battlefield Britain, 'Culloden' episode, and then wondered: would you consider writing a story (short or novel format) set during the Jacobite Rebellions? Also, are you academically interested in other European conflicts - such as The Seven Years War, Thirty Years War, or Spanish Succession - I consider Charles Spencer's 'Blenheim' as indispensable reading on the latter subject, and truly entertaining. Have you read this book?

Mr Cornwell firstly I would like to thank you for the Sharpe series they introduced me to historical fiction and I have taken many months of joy from them your other books and those of your fellows. To my question with the recent success of recently commissioned book to television series such as The Game of Thrones and Pillars of the Earth would you allow in the right circumstances any of your Series of books to be made for television? I'm certain The Grail Quest and The Saxon Stories to name but two would be massive hits not just with your legions of fans but with a wider audience.

IMO the recent series Camelot would have been far far better if based on your Arthur Trilogy. If another series was ever made would you consider a cameo?

Can’t wait for The Death of Kings or more Thomas of Hookton (Is it the book you started then stopped or completely fresh?)

Matthew Watson

Dear Mr Cornwell the first thing that I would like to say is THANK-YOU for being a brill author. I have read some of the Sharpe books (but watch the tv series more often). Second, I heard about the riddle that tells the identity of Sharpe's farther and I wonder if it is Henry Simmerson or even being Arthur Wellesley, it being a strange twist to the Sharpe series.

Adam Stockwell

Mr. Cornwell, First off, thank you for the Sharpe Series. Just one question that I can't see that you've answered. Sharpe retires to France ends up at Waterloo and then on to Peru. After the death of Rossendale what becomes of Jane? Does she become a "wh-re" as Sharpe suggests or something else. Again Thank you for such enjoyable reading. Cheers, Jim

Dear Cornwell; I'm from Turkey, I'd like to say a lot,but excuse me, my English very bad!. I love world history(Türks(turan),english,greek,rome) and I very love your books. Maybe you write something for the Crimean War, 1853,for Sharpe's, it would be nice :) Thank you, for your books. Serdar Arpac1o’lu
