Your Questions

Dear Mr Cornwall, Please allow me to convey a long overdue thank you; thank you for Richard Sharpe, for Harper, Hakeswill and for Uhtred and so much more. For over 20 years you have entertained and enlightened my family and friends and I am deeply appreciative. A small favor....I am trying to recall where I read your account of growing up with The Peculiar People. I am stymied and am beginning to worry that I may be confusing the memory with the recollection of Ramsey Cambell's autobiographical preface to one of his novels (I am 57 after all!). Does such an account exist? That's about it - no need for any autographs thanks to my dear friend Eric Pederson who has graciously gifted several treasured copies to me over the years. Please keep up the excellent work. Maybe I'll catch you on stage this summer...regards, Jim Evans, Dickerson, MD

My daughter and I have different versions on how to pronounce Uhtred's name... please can you tell us? Many thanks jennifer

hi Mr. Cornwell I am an avid fan, and I am reading Exacalibur. I couldn't help but wonder if Sharpe, or Thomas of Hookton are descended from Gwydre and Morwenna?

sorry for all of the questions, but I was wondering if Thomas of Hookton was immortal because he drank from the grail? If so, where would that place him between 1799 and 1821? Aneurin Canham Clyne

Mr. Cornwell, Still a huge fan of your writing here in Canada, and I am eagerly looking forward to more Uhtred, or Sharpe, or whoever you would like to write on. However, I have just made the changeover to reading ebooks, and I was wondering when The Fort would be available in that format. Thanks very much, and Merry Christmas!

dear Bernard,I agree with your comments regarding the reign of Alfred being a turning point in English history and much look forward to the return of Uhtred.I believe the English Civil War to be another great milestone in British history having such an effect on the local populations of England.Have you ever considered this period for a novel? Many thanks, L ee,Dorset

Mr. Cornwell, I am a great fan of your writing and love the time and places that you take me. I am especially thankful for the time and patience that you put into your website. I am a huge fan and I hope that you keep up the passion that you show in everything that you do. With the 200 year anniversary of the war of 1812 coming up, I was wondering if you had written or had plans to write a story of that period in history? Thank you, Mike of Toronto

Dear Mr. Cornwell : First of all let me thank you for your amazing books about Uhtred of Bebbanburgh. I have just read "The Burning Land", and I could not put the book away before i was finished. Being a Norwegian, this is also a story about my ancestors. The battle scenes are excellent, of course, but I also love your description of the clash between Christianity and our old Norse religion. So, to my question: Do you think there is a change that the Saxon Stories could be turned in to a movie or TV series in the future? I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy new year. Best regards Tom Larsen

Hello, I'm a huge fan, and I was wondering if there were any plans in the foreseeable future to make movies out of, the grail quest series, Arthur books, or saxon stories. I was also wondering if there was a chance Sharpe would march again? Aneurin Canham Clyne

Dear Mr Cornwell, I just love your English history books. Please tell me that you intend to write again about Thomas of Hookton. Also the Saxon stories. I've read every one and just can't get enough of them. For me, you are the most readable author I have come across. Sincerely yours, Margaret Warner

I hardly can't wait for your next book in the Saxon series! How soon will it come? I'm from Denmark, and I do live in to the storie, simply the best!! Bent Hedegaard

Is the Halevy family supposed to be Jewish??
