Your Questions

Hello Mr. Cornwell. Do you have any idea, when your latest Book "The Burning Land" will be translated into German? Thanks a lot. Yours sincerely, S. Osswald

Sir: Was just wondering if you are any relation to Patricia Cornwell, the writer of the Dr. Kay Scarpetta series of books? It seems to be strange that 2 of my favorite authors share the same last name. Also, have just finished all of your books and am looking forward to future publications. Thank you for the excitement, historical perspectives, and unforgettable characters..

Just reread the Saxon Stories for the SECOND time. Eagerly awaiting the release of the 5th book. Any plans for a sequel to Redcoat? Thanks you. Brad Grace

Hi, I hugely enjoyed the Saxon series and the Arthur series as well as Agincourt and Stonehenge. I have never seen or read Sharpe until now and bought Sharpe's Eagle which I am currently reading. I just thought I'd ask for your advice on whether to read the Sharpe books in the order you wrote them or chronologically? I bought Sharpe's Eagle first as it was the first one written. Thank you for your awesome stories! Sian Holloway

Hi there Bernard, Is Colonel Patrick Lassan in the Starbuck Chronicles meant to be Sharpe's bastard son? thanks for your time, Matthew Williams, Nottingham

Hello Mr. Cornwell, Big fan! I am through Sharpe's Sword, and most the way through Copperhead in the Starbuck series. Forgive me if this is answered in books down the line, but is Patrick Lassan Richard Sharpe's son? He has an English father whose best friend is named Patrick and his father wanted him to be a rifleman. The ages would match up as well. Thanks.

On a different note do you have a personal dislike for clergy and lawyers?

Ditto to all the great comments regarding your books, I only wish that you could produce more than one a year. Why don't you follow the James Patterson formula and bring on a team of co-authors? You could do the world a favor by mentoring others in your craft while at the same time providing much more enjoyment to your fans. Don't compromise the quality, but please increase the quantity.

Hello Mr Cornwell, just a quick question- When you finish a book, about how many words are in it? Thank you, Ryan

First of all I want to congratulate you on some of the finest action adventure writing ever put down. In my own personal reading the Horatio Hornblower series is the only equivalent. Anyway I just finished Sharpe's Fury and was preceding onto Sharpe's Battle. The question I have actually is about Sharpe's Battle. I read a synopsis that said Sharpe encounters Obadiah Hakeswill again. Wasn't he killed Sharpe's Fortress? I thought that Sharpe caught him trying to escape after the fall of Gawilghur. He died after falling into a pit of snakes? In Sharpe's Battle he returns and tries to rape Teresa an ex-lover of Sharpe's.

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I love your books and have stayed up all night reading them. I was curious if you would be interested in writing a book about William Wallace and the Scottish rebellion? Garrett

Bernard, so much to say/ask but will keep it brief. Nick Hook in Azincourt, Thomas of Hookton, an archers hero. Any relationship that will become apparent or maybe just a twist of fate? Any chance of you bottling your literary talent so we can all realise the dream?!!
