Your Questions

when will Agincourt be out on audio books in the unabridged version? thanks, Mark Coombs

first I would like to say you are a very good author. Secondly, any plans on a French and Indian war novel? Howard Spaulding 2

It´s really great to see how your books get more and more popular here in Germany. Even the older Sharpe books are going to be re-published in German. I remember well the times in which it was hard to get a copy of "Winter king" in German. Are there any plans for the Starbuck novels to be published in German? With respect to your books I do enjoy very much the ones written in the first person perspective! I really do hope you will continue with this exceptional narrative style of yours.

On a recent trip to the US I saw a passenger on a flight I was taking with a book with your name as the author. It was titled 'Innocent'. Was this a US title for one of your earlier releases or is there a new novel not yet listed on your or your publishers web-site?

Bernard, I have found every one of your books I have read thrilling and very addictive; especially the grail quest series and the fantastic tales of Uhtred and his confused loyalties to the saxons and danes. I live in Hastings and as you know my town has a very colourful history! Have you written any books or had any thoughts of writing one about the Battle of Hastings? Also, do you know of any good novels of the battle? Looking forward 2 hearing from you, Keep up the excellent work. Regards, Luke

I am working my way through your fantastic books and am buying them on Amazon. When might I expect to see the next Saxon Tale. I read the first three in six days. Wow! I am hooked on Uhtred and need another fix soon. At 76 I am not getting any younger. Jim Bertram USAF Ret'd Albuquerque, NM USA

I just finished in two weeks the four books in the Saxon Stories series. When is the next going to be available? Thanks

Dear Bernard, at first I had to tell you, that your series of Saxon Stories is absolute terrific! A great commendation for your books! And on this note I want to ask about the 5th part, I wonder if you could tell me when your book will get out. Of course I have to wait a little bit longer for the German version. But I'm looking forward to your next part. Thanks a lot! Best regards Susanne

Bernard Read (and bought) all your books - just finishing Battle Flag. Wondering if you plan to continue this fine series? Thanks for all great books John PS my almost 16 year Nick reads everything after I have and enjoys your books as much as I do. John D Assalone

hello Mr Cornwell, this is not a question about your books, I am a fan I just thought maybe, seen as you must do a lot of research for your books, you can help me find something I'm looking for. My granny used to live in West Bowling, Bradford, and swears that her house was built on the site of a battle in the French Revolution. Her proof for this is that she did the ouija board every night she lived in the house and spoke to a french soldier called Robert Sieres( or something along those lines). Anyway, I looked on the net and can't find out so just wondered if you knew of any good books that may be helpful in tracking down this battle. Looking forward to the next Saxon book, I'd be grateful for any reply. thanx. Mark

Dear Bernard Cornwell, we have been reading Azincourt as a Bernard Cornwell Group, book read and all have been favourable. One question arose though: Why you chose to have a gentler person (Hook) as your protagonist, as it was felt that none of your other heroes would have heard Saints voices. The discussion ranged from you being more mature in your writing to maybe imitating the way the old heroic stories had touches of christianity introduced by the monks who were re-writing them.Therefore I was surprised at your answer in the most frequently asked question section about christianity in your novels. Especially as the novels plot seems to pivot on the Saints Day. We are really interested in learning how you came upon Hook and the reason why he is a gentler natured man. Susan Howard

Dear Mr Cornwell, having read almost all of your books and whilst waiting for October and the next hopefully I have started to collect hardback copies. I have recently purchased a US copy of Battle Flag signed by yourself with an inscription "For my Father who reminds me of Stonewall Jackson with much love Bernard". I wondered if you may remember this copy? Many Thanks, John
