Your Questions

Hello Mr. Corwell, I've just finished reading the last book in the Saxon Stories - as we were traveling through Northumberland and visiting Bamburgh castle! What a formidable fortress! Since I travel a lot, I use the Amazon Kindle for most of my books. Are their plans for The Arthur Books to become available for the Kindle?

Dear Sir: I am a great fan of your writing. I unknowingly watched the first few episodes of the Sharpe series back when I was a kid then I grew up to re-discover your work by reading the Starbuck Chronicles. I have read the FAQs on the Starbuck story, and wondered if there has been or hopefully will be a filmed version of the Starbuck Chronicles or at least any continuation to the series? Please keep writing and I shall keep reading. Thank you Sir. Joseph Valicenti

Hello Mr Cornwell, Your probably bored rigid with my question, will Starbuck ever march again, or has it been to many years now for him/you? All the best, Alex

Hello Bernard! Greetings from Brazil! Great books!! Have you ever think about get a concept artist like Alan Lee (LOTR) or Boris Vallejo, to do some drawing for you? It would be very nice to see a beautiful drawing of your characters, in the way you imagine them. Is there any plan or project where we could see Uthred or Derfel on the big screen? Who you imagine would be good actors for this roles? Kind regards, Danilo.

Hi Bernard, Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed listening to the Saxon Stories on audio tape whilst completing my architecture portfolio for my first year of study at the Uni of Plymouth (England). They really got me through it. Can't wait for the next instalment, however long that may be, but will be starting on the Arthur books soon. Also, have you considered getting a twitter account and keeping in touch with your fan base via this (I've looked but can't find you if this is already the case). Just a thought. Keep up the good work, your books are fantastic. Thanks, Glen

Thankfully (depending on how you look at it lol.) I don't fall under any of conditions highlighted before. I'm not much of an author never quiet got the knack for it. I am a big history buff, and your books have amazed me multiple times. I've read the saxon, arthur series as well as some of the stand alone books and i just have to say thank you for helping me whittle away several tedious hours during power outages and the long dead periods waiting on other authors to finish there work. Your books have had me wanting to visit england from the very beginning, and eventually i intend to go visit our brothers across the pond. Any sites of interest that you would suggest? (the history of vlad tepes done in your style of historical fiction would be cool, sorry stray thought) Thanks for your time and i hope to see many more adventures with sharpe, uhtred, and the others.

Good day Mr. Cornwell, First off, thank you greatly for your stories. As a sales manager and no stranger to the frustrations of air travel, I'm pretty sure Uhtred and Hook have preserved my sanity. Given the success of the Sharpe series in film, and the recent adaptation of "the Pillars of the Earth" into a mini-series event (Ken Follett is good by the way, but I like your style better), are there any plans to develop Agincourt into a series or motion picture? Just seems well suited to it and I want to save my place in line.

Just read an article that said director Michael Mann is thinking about making a movie version on Agincourt. Are you involved at all? I would love to see this on the big screen. Hopefully if this happens, we'll see more of your books at the theatre! Jonathan Mullins

My Cornwell, firstly I would like to thank you for visiting Oxford in your latest tour as it gave me the opportunity to meet the man whose books have given my countless hours of pleasure. I hope your visit to my home town was as enjoyable for you as my honeymoon on Cape Cod was for my wife and I. As for a question, as someone who seems to have an almost endless supply of ideas, how do you decided what to write next? Especially as you have so many series that you keep adding to. Very many thanks for your time, Stuart.

Where can I read the clue about Sharpe's father? Bill Ries

Dear Bernard, I'm afraid I have to ask you a very obscure question, which you just may know the answer to. I once remember a conversation in either Sharpe's Trafalgar, or perhaps Sharpe's Fury, where a gentleman talked to Sharpe about his love of tea. He referred to it lovingly by a nickname, and then realized that nickname was actually intended as a name for falling sleep. Please, demonstrate an unmeasurable knowledge of your works and tell me the affectionate term he used. I remember thinking it was quite profound at the time, before it dissolved one night into my own peaceful rest. Your writing is fantastic. All the very best. - Adrian

I have just finished "Killer's Wake" which I liked a lot. I am now in the middle of the "The Fort" What I am really concerned about, however, is when Uhtred's next adventures may arrive. Ross Cann

I have all of you books in the Sharpe, Starbuck, Arthur, Grail, & Saxon Series, and few of you single books. Have loved them all and would just like to know if you have a time for the next book in the Saxon Series to be out.

Have just finished THE BURNING LAND and, therefore, all of THE SAXON TALES. Very much enjoyed! Wither Uhtred at this point?

Can you please tell me when the next book in the saxon series will be coming out ?Levi

Hi Mr Cornwell, How are you? I just finished reading all the Saxon story books and i must say they were just amazing. But my question is, will there be another book continuing after the last book "The Burning Land"? Please let me know. Thank you for your time. Hector
