Your Questions

Dear Mr Cornwell, Your one of my favourite authors and I especially liked the 'Arther' books. I loved the way that you inverted all of the stereotypes around the Arther myth, especially making Lancelot a coward and making Merlin a grumpy old git! Everything Merlin said had me in stitches, he was very cool. More than any one I liked Nimue and was very impressed with how you portrayed her. Would you ever consider writing a whole book from a female perspective? I think you would be good at it. Kindest regards, Daniella, UK

Dear Sir, I have just finished "The Gallows Thief" will you be writing about Rider Sandman again I so enjoyed him felt there would be more to come. I have listened to all of your books that have been recorded. Your words and the readers make each story come alive, how exciting. Uhtred's stories are some of my favorites although Agincourt had me on the edge of my sofa. I hope you know I think you are a wonderful writer.

Any plans on a book with Harper as the title character?

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?

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.

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.

I have just recently discovered your books, the first book I read was Azincourt and then read the Harlequin and now I'm reading the Vagabond. Personally (and from my short experience) I prefer Azincourt and would like to see more from those characters. On another note, I would like to make a suggestion/question: have you ever thought about writing a book on the Portuguese/Spanish war against the moors?

Hi Mr Cornwell, Just to let you know that I have read all your books so far about Uhtred and look forward in anticipation to the next episode, although I have an Irish surname I am born and bread in Northumberland, not too far from Bamburgh(Bebbanburgh) and the books bring to life what my home county must have been like in those dark and forbidding times, my Mothers family where Armstrongs the famous Border Reiver family, have you had any thoughts on maybe writing about the dark deeds carried out by such families as these and all the cross border battles and thieving that went on ?
