Your Questions

Do you ever dream of retirement? A quiet solitude, bereft of prying individuals like myself, where you sit at peace with the world. Or do you see yourself as an worried man, anxious to see the story end in so many envisioned worlds you have created? Remember, we have but one life, so live it well, give joy and take same when it passes your way, for the next life may be a long darkness. mind you the religious might have it right! you have given me many years of joy and if retirement suits you you are more than deserving of it. slan leat ma chara.

Mr. Cornwell, Who wins in a fist fight: Uhtred, Derfel,or Sharpe? Thanks for all the great stories. I cannot wait to see what comes next.

Mr. Cornwell, Thank you so much for the slave girl scene in Burning Land. You promised me once that Uhtred would indeed meet an Oriana, though we may not know see her name. I have declared that page to be mine! (I wrote "Me" in the corner and dog-eared the page!) My dad had a weird expression on his face when he returned it to me after borrowing my UK version some time back. eeek! :D Any possible way you can give me an idea when I might next be able to pay double for your book by ordering a newly released UK publishing of a new Saxon series book? I must know...I must watch his life from afar. I miss my valiant yet brazen pagan warrior and all his irreverence! Its been at least a year now since I have last been with my true love Uhtred...hasn't it? My ardent affections to Uhtred's creator- Oriana

I would like to know if you will be releasing another book in the saxon stories after the burning lands any time soon.

Hello Mr. Cornwell, I love all your work especially the Warlord trilogy, Arthur is a personal favorite. So I was wondering what you're working on right now? Can't wait for the Fort, though I must admit Captivate, Kill or Destroy was a bloody great title! Thanks, Nauras

I am one of your many devoted readers and have enjoyed all of these books thus written. Do you have plans for more Saxon Tales? I finished The Burning Land some time ago and that series is one of my most liked of all your books. I thank you for the pleasure given in reading your work. Bobby Gant

I really like the saxon books, when is the next installment coming?

Dear Mr. Cornwell. I am a great fan of you here in Brazil and I love your books. I pretty much read all your books and I am very grateful for your writing. My question is: Will the Saxon Chronicles continue after the Vol 5? When do you intent to launch? Best regards, Eduardo

Mr. Cornwell, I am a great fan of your books, especially the Saxon tales. When can i get another installment of UHTRED? I am jonesing for more action. Thank You, Darrell

Saxon Stories are great! Just finished The Burning Land. Will there be a sixth book? Need to find out what happens to Uhtred. Many thanks for hours of great reading. John

When will you be publishing the 6th book in the Saxon Stories series - really waiting for the next one ?????
Andrew Moriarty

I am an avid reader of your Saxon Stories. Kindly advise if you know when the next installment will be published. Regards. Michael Mirone

Good Afternoon Great Master, I am huge fan of very far, to be more precise from Manaus - AM, Brazil, from the heart of the Amazonian forest. I am great fan of your books, I have almost all the publications made in Brazil. I would like to know if the story of Uhtred finishes in the book Land in Flames, if not, already exists a date for the publication of the next one? Greetings from forest. P.S. Forgive poor writing in English, I speak very better of what I write. Rodrigo Vasques

Dear Bernard Cornwell, I'm one fan of yours from Brazil. Sincerely I just LOVE the way you tell in your books how things used to be in a violent period of time of our world history. You make that time sounds magic. Thomas is such a great man, a lovely gentleman. I just wonder how you got inspired to write so perfectly his characteristics, his qualities ... Well, hope you answer me soon.

Oh, and just one question, do you like the rock band Rhapsody of Fire? They're from Italy, and they expose lots of the nordic mythology. If you never heard, should try, any day, any time, when you're free ... so hardly, I think. But that's it. Love your writings. Sincerely, Melissa

Whist looking for a book about my preferred era, the 16th century in Asia, they failed me. I reluctantly bought The Burning Land. But not regretfully! You have brought to life an age I knew very little about. And you have done it spectacularly. You seem very patriotic, which is quite refreshing. And the history you add at the end was dripping with pride. I loved every page, though I must confess, I needed the dictionary a lot, which is good. I would like to know, the songs they sang of their victories, do any survive? Thank you for opening up a whole new(old) world to me. Regards Si.

I am just watching the 'king Arthur' film and was Just wondering why the Saxons are always portrayed as the bad guys.Even in films about the Vikings they are the villains .I just find it strange that no-one except you and Julian Rathbone have ever written anything positive about our ancestors.I hope that a film or Tv series will be made one day where they are the Herod and not the villains. What do you think Carl

Mr.Cornwell,you said in the notes you were raised at Thundersley,Essex. My people came from Laindon Hills,Essex. Some people are telling me this is an ancient village. Have you heard of this? The Lambert brothers,one of whom,my 5th great-grandfather,came to America,in 1754,so it would be 250+ years ago. Do you know where this would be from Thundersley and Benfleet? I'm just curious. Sometimes too curious. Thanks.

Do you plan to include in any future Sharpe book, the story of how Sharpe acquired and gave the 7 barreled gun to Harper?
A Barton

dear Mr Cornwell, I enjoy watching Sharpe dvds but I wonder if or when more will be made as there are many books not filmed.
Mr. K Potter

Hi, I love all the Sharpe books as a matter of fact I have read all of them more than once. I was wondering why have you stopped at Waterloo? Can you not do a book that takes Sharpe all the way into Paris? I mean I have read all the way from India to Trafalgar to Copenhagen to Portugal then Spain then finally Waterloo but I really want to read about him finally arriving in Paris. Thank you.
