Your Questions

dear Mr Cornwell I love your books and have read sharpe's tiger, triumph, fortress, and trafalgar. I have also read the first four saxon stories and was wondering how many books you are going to make for the saxon stories? Thanks!

Hey - have you considered any WW-II era books? I think there is a shortage WW-II off the beaten track (ie. not Normandy or Battle of the Bulge or Midway). something along the lines of the French Foreign Legion in Africa early in the war, or the war in India. Would it not be entertaining to have a descendant of Richard Sharpe as the main character? perhaps a grandson named Patrick? Just a thought. Love your books - the Starbuck series, I'm from Alabama and it's great to see a story told from the Southern point of view. the Archers Path was soooo darn good. Hubbert Smith

I was just thinking that one day it might be quite a good idea to write a series of books about the holy wars? Have you ever thought about it?

Any plans for a follow up to Gallows Thief?

Dear Mr. Cornwell, you did it again, kept me up night after night reading "Sword song". Yet again a fantastic storyline...I'm really looking forward to the next one "The burning Land". I've given up waiting for the books to be translated into German...far better in the original language. Any idea, if any of your books might make it into the cinemas??? I wish these ones would!! With many sincere greetings from a German fan... Mrs. DEane

Hello Mr Cornwell, I am a great fan of yours. I have noticed that you have the movie "Sharps Peril and Sharpe's Challenge" on DVD. Can I buy the books? I didn't see them available on amazon. Sharpe's Peril is only available in the UK format on DVD. I would like to purchase both the books and the DVDs for my collection. Thank you, Bill

Bernard, One of my favorite Sharpes books is Sharpes Prey in that it went over some of the earlier years of Richard Sharpe, when he was young. Have you ever thought about writing a short story about his early days when he meet Maggie Joyce at the age of 12 and stayed with her for three years in her tavern? Those were the three years that really formed young Richards life. Tony Contreras

Probably missed the answer but is there plans for more Starbuck books? I read some of the questions from 2001. Sorry I missed you at Durham I was working in London that week.

Mr. Cornwell, I am not a huge reader though you're books spark my interest so much that i love to read them over and over again. The Sharpe books I must have read at least 5 times each. But I want to ask a question that you probably hear more than any other and I apologize. But nonetheless when are you coming out with the next Starbuck book they are my second favorite series next to the Arthur Books. Please come out with it soon I really have been waiting for this book for so long. Bring Nate back from his vacation and write about Cold Harbour, Gettysburg all those epic Civil War battles. Anyway thanks for your time and please take into consideration writing the next Starbuck book.

Hello sir, I've read your answer to a reader's question on whether you would consider a book on the English Civil War, and you said that "it's never been high on the list", so I was thinking: do you actually have, in your mind, a 'priority list' of different topics to write about? Like 1.Burning Land 2.Saxon 6th 3.etc etc... ? Thanks! Cheers

Why do you change the name of Azincourt/Agincourt between the US and UK versions and is there any need to change the cover as well. Asa
