Your Questions

Hello again, Mr. Cornwell. You have said more than once that at some time in the future you'd like to put Sharpe at the siege of San Sebastian. As I am sure you're aware, this would involve your changing Sharpe s Regiment to accommodate a much shorter timeline. Whereas now, Regiment covers June to November 1813, putting Sharpe at the siege would reduce this to October to November. Do you think Regiment would still be plausible with such a reduced timeline? (Also remember, you ll have to change Chapter 17 of Sharpe s Siege, where Frederickson is talking about what it was like at San Sebastian and Sharpe says he wasn't there). Alan Kempner

Hello Bernard, I was wondering have you ever thought about putting your books into a movie or maybe a video game? I ask this question because my cousin and I love your Grail Quest series, Warlord Chronicles and Saxon Tales. To see them on big screen or in a game would be awesome. Just thought to see if you ever thought about it sir. Thanks and live long and keep writing.

Mr. Cornwell, I am a great admirer of your work and thank you for the many hours of enjoyment they have provided me. I have just finished The Fort. Though I'm a serious history junkie, I knew nothing of this fiasco. It certainly isn't something they teach in US schools. Without coming out and stating it, you seem to give credence to the local stories that Paul Revere made off with the militia’s money. Given the lack of proof and sensitivities over the issue, I can understand why you would present the known facts and let Revere’s actions speak for themselves. I do wonder, though, whether in your extensive research you investigated Revere’s later finances and if that research led you to a personal conclusion on the matter. Thank you and regards - James Pease Milwaukee, WI

Hello again Mr Cornwell I have just picked up Azincourt again after finishing "The Fort" and although its the second time around Im really enjoying it. I have just finished the chapter where Dafydd ap Traharn has spoken to Hook about Owain Glyn Dwr which really got me thinking how I'd love to read a book about Glyn Dwr & his uprising a book written by yourself if possible...!!!! Is there any chance of you possibly writing anything about Glyn Dwr in the future as his life & mysterious ending has the makings for a superb book....?? Thankyou again for your books & very much looking forward to the latest Uhtred offering... Lee Davies

I just ordered Easton Press Sharpe's Tigers. Are there any plans for Easton Press to publish anymore from the Sharpe's Series or any of your other books for that matter? I do hope so. Thank you sir for the many hours of joy you have given me with your literature.

Hi Mr Cornwell! I have had many good hours with Raymond E Feist books and can not but wonder if he has "borrowed" the name and character Corporal Harper for his Serpent War saga! Is this something he or someone else has mentioned before?

Hi Bernard, as a lover of all your books I often wonder if you have ever considered writing a novel based around the exploits of William Wallace,especially in view of the romanticised version in the film 'Braveheart'? Interestingly it not well known that he was the first military leader to abandon chivalric warfare, mirrored by Bruce at Bannockburn, and later by the English in the Hundred Years War, to achieve decisive victories at Crecy and Poitiers with greatly inferior numbers.

Hi Bernard, still not wrestled my copy of 'the fort' from my son, But can't wait for Uhtred to return. I'm writing to ask if you have ever considered writing about the battle of Hastings era. I've just watched a god awful TV documentary set in that time, and it aroused my interest, do you have any recommendations for books set in that time? Please keep up the good work. Regards RJM

Mr. Cornwell, would the Fort Stanwix in the Mohawk Valley in central New York of the same Revolutionary War time period as Fort George be of similar construction?

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have become an avid fan of your books after reading the series on King Arthur. I just started The Fort and I am curious whether you are familiar with Ben Ames Williams' novel Come Spring which takes place at the same time in our history and the same general area. It recounts the settling of Sterlingtown the current town of Union, ME. General Wadsworth and his capture by the British is mentioned as well as the involvement of some of the principals of the novel in the fight on the side of the rebels.
