Your Questions

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Being a long time fan of Arthurian, Celtic and Saxon historic fiction and your books, I am now starting in the 4th book of the Saxon Tales and imagine my surprise, being a Dutch woman in the USA, that your dedication is in Dutch. I had to read it several times and make sure I didn't bring the book with me from the Netherlands, but nope, I bought it here not so long ago. Without wanting to be too personal or too nosy, I would like to ask if there is a specific reason for this? I can imagine people here in the US reading it and not having a clue what it means :) I hope you have the time to answer and satisfy my curiosity. Have a wonderful day! Astrid Wagenaar

After having read Sharpe's Siege for the umpteenth time, I was wondering if you ever had any more plans for the brilliant Cornelius Killick? Surely such a great man would warrant his own story? Thanks, Chris

I have read all your Sharpe books and Saxon books. I think you are a really good writer, and was wondering whether or not you would be able to write another Sharpe book because I love them and think it would be good to have just one more.

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have been a fan of yours for many years and I really enjoy your work. I have been re-reading the Starbuck Chronicles, and I noticed something of interest in the back in the Historical Notes. The final sentence states "Starbuck will march again." I was wondering then, if there will be another Starbuck book, and if so, when? Thank you very much for your time! Sincerely, Chuck Brown

Dear Mr Cornwell, I have just finished reading the Starbuck Chronicles (set of four). In your final line of the Historical Notes you state that Starbuck will march again. Has he ? I am a 76 years young Englishman, living sometimes in Fort Collins CO or the Dorset countryside village of Martinstown, and reading hours are lessening

When we met in Salisbury in 1999 [I! march] you PROMISED to get back to 'Starbuck' When will you do this ?!

I have just finished reading the Starbuck chronicles and would like to ask is there another one coming soon? Can't wait to find out what happens to Starbuck and the legion. Martin Warren

Mr. Cornwell, I don't setup myself up as either a literary critic, or an aficionado of historical accuracy, but truly, thanks for hours and hours of entertainment :-) (Sharpe's, Saxon, Arthur...) Any possibility of seeing Captain Joel Chase or Losow/VonLosow (KGL captain - can't remember if he ever had a first name) again? (and having them survive... you tend not to leave many loose ends...) Josey Wales: When I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long. Lone Watie: I notice when you get to DISlikin' someone they ain't around for long neither. Thanks, Nick

Dear Mr Cornwell In my ignorance can you please explain why you say in the short video on Agincourt on this website that the battle was almost 700 years ago when it is not even 600 years? I have just finished reading 'Azincourt' which I thoroughly enjoyed. Best regards Malcolm Herbert

Going on 30 years with you! Just picked up The Waterloo Roll Call. Very interesting to me to read the annotations and see the truth in many incidents in your book (i.e. laying a gun on the body of a wounded Lancer to shoot). Would love to see your bibliography some day. Bob Abidor

Mr Cornwell, why does the US get the unabridged version of your books before the UK? thanks, Mark

Greetings, Lord. I'm from the states (Texas to be specific) and will likely be beating a dead horse and/or sacrificing one to THOR and Odin but recently I discovered your Saxon Chronicles books and had begun listening to them on my commute to work. As this will come as no surprise, I stumbled on and was subsequently enveloped in, the audio books read by Tom Sellwood. Imagine my disappointment when I scrambled, trying to find the Sword Song reading, only to find that for some inexplicable reason he didn't record this book. Tom has--as I'm sure you've never been told--brought a terrible life to your words and in no small stretch, Uhtred himself. I understand that Sword Song may be a lost cause but could you possibly entreat those who have control of the recorded books to enlist, bribe, black-mail, threaten or otherwise, ask nicely, that they have Tom read the next book? Also, I know that you don't live next door or anything but do you ever make it to the States for speeches and signings? In particular, do you ever make it to Texas? Thanks for reading my mail and for bringing someone like Uhtred into the world. What a good bastard he's become.

dear Mr. Cornwell, I'm a new fan of your books but I'm completely amused. i heard somewhere that you're coming to Brazil in September, is it true? I'd like to know the exactly day, so I can prepare my 15-hours travel to Rio, where you're going to. thank you for keep making legends coming to life!
