Your Questions

Hi Bernard, thanks very much for many hours of enjoyment over the years - it doesn't really seem like nearly 30 years since one trip to Wakefield library yielded Sharpe's Sword and Patrick O'Brian's HMS Surprise. I just wanted to ask you have you any plans to write anything set in the Wars of the Roses or the English Civil War? Edward Thorpe

Do you plan on doing a book tour any time soon? I hope you decide to, and can't wait till the Burning Land comes out, thank you from your new fan, Jerry

Will you ever bring back Obidiah somehow?

I am a huge fan of your Arthur and Saxon stories, and am avidly awaiting the release of Burning Land, even though it won't come out here until next year. I just have 1 question/suggestion, will there be any more pagan Saxons, or scenes of pagan ritual like in Last Kingdom?

Mr. Cornwell, many thanks for your wonderful stories. I have a question for you: how would a squire, in his own mind, refer to the knight he served? would it simply be as "Sir Bob"? Or as Master Bob - maybe just Master? Or just plain Bob? I am writing a tale about a squire and think I write Sir Bob in too many lines, and am wondering if there are any other forms of address - other than insults - my squire could use for when he thinks about the knight. He always uses the proper Sir Bob when speaking to the knight of course! Thanks, -Jordan

Hi Bernard I have just read the excerpt of The Burning Land -it whets the appetite wonderfully - can't wait to buy the book in the autumn. Have you decided what will come after The Burning Land ? Regards and many many thanks for giving us such fantastic stories - Bob Warburton

Dear Bernard After the recent murder of two soldiers and a policeman in Northern Ireland has tragically bought it back on the news again. It got me wondering if you had ever thought of writing a biography of your time over there. Your job as a TV producer must have bought you in contact with most of the leading Unionist/Nationalist/Loyalist and Republican people of the time and you must have some interesting tales to tell. Yours sincerely Geraint

Like many of the posters on your site, I am a huge fan of your writing and have read many of your books! Agincourt was probably my favorite individual novel (though the Saxon Stories is my favorite series) of yours, and it has prompted me to continue learning about the campaign. I am currently reading Juliet Barker's book based on your Epilogue comments. I have been trying to find more information on Sir John Cornwaille, because Barker portrays him in the same light you do. I have done some internet searches, but are you aware of any biographies of him? Thanks for the excellent work!

Hello Mr Cornwell, if you could chose any of your other novels/ series to be made into a film or TV series which would it be? Many thanks for you time.

Mr Cornwell, I just wanted to write to you and applaud you on such a wonderful job you have done with the Saxon series. I am really looking forward to the next book! I am an aspiring screenwriter and cannot help but wonder if anyone has approached you on turning the books into a film or two? Thanks for taking the time to read this and I will totally understand if you're to busy to reply. Have a great year and please don't end the Saxon series anytime soon! :)

Hello,Mr Cornwell! I am a girl from Greece and i am a great fan of your books! I have read most of them and i like them very much! I would like to ask you, if there is any possibility that other books of yours,except from the Sharpe books, are going to be turned into films.( forgive me if my English is not efficient) I currently read 'Harlequin' and i do believe that it would become a successful film! Thank you for your time! Vasiliki Vorgiopoulou

I am very excited to read further media versions of the Arthur books may be in production. I would love to have them on CD or even available through iTunes. However if this happens can they please be in the unabridged version? The abridged version misses out on so much. It would also be great to have your Saxon Stories in an unabridged version, I can currently only find them in abridged. Thank you, I look forward to the new Saxon story.
