Your Questions

Hi once again, Mr. Cornwell. You have said you would someday like to write on the Tudors, particularly Elizabeth I. Should we look forward to another extended series like Uhtred? Or is it more likely to be a trilogy or a one-shot book? Also, is your interest in following Drake as he raids the Spaniards, culminating in the defeat of the Armada? Or perhaps the border wars with Scotland, such as the battle of Flodden? Or do you want to slog through Irish bogs with Essex in pursuit of the Earl of Tyrone? Alan Kempner

You have often mentioned that the telephone listings provide you with many character names when you write. I was wondering whether the name Rider Sandman was just such an example or whether you chose the name specifically? ie: Berrigan and Sandman Cigars? (Which may or may not exist.) Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Paul Higgins

I really appreciate your work mr.cornwell. I saw movies of Sharpe based on your Sharpe books on history channel in India in Hindi languag, but I can't find DVDs of that. Could you have any idea?

I was wondering how you pick your stories base on specific historical settings? Any particular influences on your choice of setting? You have the Anglo-Saxon war in the Uhtred series, Penobscot Expedition in the Fort novel, the French revolution in the Fallen Angel, as well as Azincourt in France.

hi Mr. Cornwell, I have another question. I recently finished Excalibur and I was wondering if Camlann from Excalibur, and Hookton from the grail quest were the same place?

And I was wondering if you would be visiting Connecticut for signings book tours or other such things in the foreseeable future?

Happy New Year to you and your family , just two points. 1. Struggling with the Fort, not to your usual high standards or I dont appreciate the time period. 2. Can't wait for the next saxon story, is there any thought on filming this series as the technology is there to make these truly epic? All the very best and hope to see Sharpe marching again or maybe a book about Marlbrough??

This seems like a really odd question, I look after General Wolfe's home, have read all of your historical books and have always wondered why you have never written anything on the Seven Years War? Just visiting the website to see if you have any more adventures for Uhtred planned and thought I would ask the Wolfe question whilst here. Thanks John

love your work very much looking forward to the next Saxon story. have you ever thought about a Viking Saxon computer game based on your characters from the series? I think it would sell like hotcakes and get a new generation of fans bringing some history to youngsters who would never think of picking up a book. best regards Erle

Dear Bernard, Whilst eagerly awaiting Uhtred's return [? from annual holiday entitlement?], I was thrilled to read `Redcoat'. Your acutely accurate description of the brutal British Army regimen towards the poor who made up the vast bulk of the ranks of British Soldiers [and sailors - I'm from Liverpool] who created an empire for the rich to enjoy can have no detractors or critics. In `Redcoat', Sam escapes his brutal Army bondage with his American love Caroline. 1778 /79 The war for freedom rages on. Surely Sam and Caroline have many further adventures Bernard ? It can't end there surely ? Please reassure. Kind Regards. Paul.

Hi Bernard, will you ever write a book about the legendary knight Sir Henry 'Hotspur' Percy ? Keep up the excellent novels !
