Your Questions

Q

I have read all your books bar three of the thrillers which I am tracking down. I am amazed at the consistent quality which is so lacking in other authors who are often so it and miss. Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to "The Fort". Do you ever visit Ireland on your book tours?
Keith Martin

A

I haven't in awhile, but I'd love to!


Q

Dear Mr Cornwell. I want to thank you so much for all the pleasure your Sharpe book have given me. I have the whole set and read them several times and will do so again. I would love to know when you plan to or if you plan to write anymore as I can't wait to read them. Please make it soon. Form one of your ardent fans. Lynne

A

I'm really not sure when I'll write the next Sharpe, though I hope it won't be too far away.


Q

I am reading your book Azincourt with great pleasure - particularly as I am a costumed volunteer man at arms at Bodiam Castle - 1385 onwards. I have also just finished Juliet BARKER's book The English Kingdom of France which follows the history of the 100 years war after Agincourt. Can we expect another series of Hook stories to parallel Sharpe?
Alan STAINSBY

A

I've considered a sequel to Azincourt, but a series is not likely.


Q

Is there any chance that you would do a book about Harold Godwinson 1066 was such an important year in British history, with the intrigue and the three battles I would love too add a Bernard book of this part of English history to my collection please tell me there is a chance??

Mark Thistlethwaite

A

I don't have plans for Harold Godwinson, but perhaps that will change?


Q

Hi, have all your books (waiting for The Fort). Have just got my local library new books list and it is showing you as having written Captivate,Kill or Destroy!! Can find not trace on Google put into Amazon and up comes The Fort. Is this a subtitle for The Fort or a completely new book? Thanks for your time-keep writing. Terry

A

Captivate, Kill or Destroy was the first title under consideration, but The Fort won out so it will be The Fort everywhere.


Q

Sir, Has any thought been given to a follow-up novel on Nick Hook and the rest of the AGINCOURT characters? As I have cited in a previous message to you, AGINCOURT is one of the most memorable, enjoyable, exciting books I have ever read. God speed and may you continue a long, healthy, creative life.
Donald Burgio

A

I have given it some thought....not sure it will happen tho'.


Q

Hi Mr Cornwell. I have written to you before and I was quite excited that you responded to questions in such a short period of time. I am happy to say that since the last time I contacted you my library of Bernard Cornwell books has risen to 18. I know there are far more but this is a work in progress. The question I would like answered if you happen to know it, how long after the uk and us release dates do you normally release books to Australia. I am interested in reading 'The Fort' and keep telling my grandfather that it is coming but do not have a date. Thanks for all your hard work. Regards Drew from Orange, NSW, Australia.

A

I hope you and your grandfather will be happy to learn that The Fort will be released in the UK, the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia all on the same day - 28 September 2010.


Q

Mr. Cromwell: I've just finished reading the Starbuck Chronicles series for the third time since buying them. I am a great Civil War fan and have read many books relating to it, both fiction and history. I would greatly like to be able to follow Nate Starbuck, General Swnyard, Truslow and Nate's other friends through the remainder of the war. Is there any chance that you will continue with the series? I would love to go beyond Antietam. Sincerely, Roger Ackerman

A

I'd say there's a very good chance.
