Hi, Would love to get all of the Sharpe books in a sequential special edition. Is anything out there or brewing? Martin
Not now; perhaps once the series is finished? Still a few Sharpe books to go....
Hi Bernard I have read & heard that Agincourt is being made into a film. Is this true & if so how is it progressing & how much input will YOU have? Thanks again for the Warlord & Saxon books as the Arthur stories are easily my favourite books of all time. The fact I'm going for a few drinks in Isca Siluria this evening may explain my biase !!!!
Lee Davies
I have no input and honestly don't know any more than you do!
Dear Mr. Cornwell, I am a recent graduate of University of Nevada Las Vegas, and one of my degrees is in history. I love reading your books, and have realized I would love to be a historical researcher for historical fiction. My question is, how does one become a researcher for an author like you? Is it through the publishing company? Do you have your own researchers? I am looking into getting my history master's, but I want to make sure this is the correct path. Thank you for your time. Thank you for creating such fascinating books and plots. Sincerly, Samantha Anderson
I do most all my own research, so I'm probably not the one to ask. Maybe through a publishing company? Sorry not to be more helpful!
Hi Mr Cornwell I would just like to ask if it is likely that films will ever be made of the Arthur books. I await news. Thankyou Zoe
Hi Zoe. I don't think it's likely as I suspect it would prove too expensive.
I started to read "The Fort" and found that either you or your publisher made a General Eisenhower type blunder. I looked at your map of Penobscot, Maine and noticed that something did not look quite right. Townsend is not Bucks Harbor, which is near Machias, rather it is Boothbay Harbor. The Am. Rev. War is a subject of interest to me as is Polish history. Stuff like this drives me crazy. Just thought you might want to know, if not already bombarded about the booboo. Also, you might have mentioned that Majabigwaduce was a corruption of the indian name Abaduset or Abagaduset. I noticed that you mentioned requests for vetting manuscripts. I can attest to the difficulty of accomplishing such a task. I've gone to the National Park Service, American Antiquarian Society, Clark University, and Anna Maria College for my own book on the siege of Boston only to find myself alone at night in the rain without an umbrella. Anyway, I hope you can correct the mistake on the next printing. Very respectfully yours, Donald Kaminski
You're absolutely right about Boothbay Harbor, and I have no idea how that error crept in (carelessness, I suppose). As for the Abaduset - well, that one I hadn't heard and none of my (unbelievably extensive) research threw it up, so I'll reserve judgment on that! Thanks - we'll get it corrected.
Hi Mr. Cornwell, I love your books. I am a big fan of the Sharpe series. I have seen the TV series and read the books. Are you going to write another Sharpe book where he goes and sees his fully grown daughter and they reunite? I would hope so and would love to know that.I want to go to Europe and go to the battlefields that Sharpe fought on. I also want to see the place where Napoleon got exiled.I'm a big history person so to me that would be a big achievement for me. My dad and brother are big fans of yours too. My dad has read all your books and my brother likes the series King Alfred and King Arthur. I hope you get this and write back. Rachel Platek
It's possible Sharpe may see his daughter again some day. I hope you get to take that trip!
Will you be finishing the Starbuck Series?
Sonny Crowley
Hope so!
Hello! Thanks soooooo much for being the best writer ever! I traveled around India with some friends this month and took the Alfred series with me and read them all! Which brings be to my question: please please please tell me the next Alfred book will be published soon? I don't think I can wait! P.s. I made a Bernard Cornwell fan of my best friend Kirsty by lending her the books! Super thanks! Sheena :0)
My wife and I have just finished the Burning Land, the last of the Saxon Series, at the end of the book in the section The Making of England, it states that Uhtred inherits, loses and recaptures his ancestral stronghold, if that is a strong hint that there is another in the series coming out, when is it due, even better what will be the title so that we can order it, many thanks for a very enjoyable series. Carey Lye.
Dear Bernard Cornwell, I really love the Saxon Series and of course I already read Burning Land. Which brings me to my question: When can I expect the next book? Uhtred has still work to do... ;-) I couldn't find a hint on your publisher's site or right here. I may have overseen it, please forgive me If so. All the best, Valentina

Hey, I have a question. When are you coming out with a new book the Saxon Stories? I have been waiting forever! UGH!!!! I know how long it takes to write a book so sorry to rush you but I wanna read it!!!!!!!!!!!! :( I have read that series over and over again, I think i could quote them from memory!
Alycia Sikes
Hello Bernard, Am an avid fan of your books and knowledge of ancient Britain, really enjoying the saxon stories on that note can you please please give us any indication when the next book in the set will be released. Thank you for many hours of amazing reading. Jen
When are you planning on writing the next book in the saxon series following The burning land? Adam Calhoon
Love your books and style of writing. Unfortunately you got me hooked on the Saxon Series and then published The Fort! I liked it however, when is the next Saxon book coming out? Thanks Floyd Wickie
Hello, I have just finished all of the Saxon series and have thoroughly enjoyed them. At the end of The Burning Land it implies that there are more books to come. Will there be more? Also, do you have an official Facebook fan page that we can become fans of? Thank you, Sherrie Ferguson
I'm working on the next book of the Saxon stories now, but it's a bit too early for a title.
Yes! You should be able to find me on Facebook!
Dear Mr. Cornwell, >From a couple of sources I read that your (?) book Captivate,Kill or Destroy, ISBN 978 - 0061969638 was to be published by Harper Collins on the 28th. of September. Since then the title has disappeared from all book lists. Was this someone trying it on or did you intend to publish the book later? Sincerely, Norman Hurst
The book was published under the title The Fort.
Mr. Cornwell, Your books are fantastic! The Arthur books are a refreshing and down-to-earth change of pace from the usual mystical yarns. The Sharpe series; as you have most likely heard many a time; are very hard to put down! I do have a question. Do you plan on writing anything about the modern World Wars in the 20th or 21st century?
Brent Davis
I'm not planning on it - I think I prefer to stay with the more distant past.
