Your Questions

My husband and son love your books! Do you have another book coming out in the Saxon series? They are hoping so. Jennifer RaVell

A friend suggested your Arthur Books. They were fantastic. I have since read The Saxon Stories, Stonehenge, The Grail Quest, and Agincourt. I enjoy your writing immensely. Will there be more Saxon Stories. I have to know if Uhtred returns to the North. Brian Heintzelman

Dear Author Cornwell First of all CONGRATULATIONS for your books they are simply Fantastic. I have read the series: Arthur Books and The Saxon Stories In your series The Saxon Stories you mentioned in the final of the last volume that this series will continue. Do you have a forecast, when this continuation will come? Thanks in advance. Roberto

Dear Mr. Cornwell.. Is there more of the Saxon stories in the pipeline??... I do hope so as these are some of the best historic novels I've read... My best regards... Del

Hi Mr. Cornwell! My name is Matheus and I'm from Brazil. I am a huge fan of yours and my favorite series is "The Saxon Stories". It's so realistic that when I'm reading I'm able to view Uhtred in front of me! I want to know when the next book is going to be available in stores?? I can barely wait for it... Thank you, bye bye from Brazil.

I was just wondering if you have any plans for another Saxon novel? The Saxon stories are my favorite out of all of your books. You really are a very GREAT author!! My other question was are there any plans of making any movies of the Saxon stories, like what happened with the Sharpe books? Thank you very much for your time! Very truly yours, Amber

Are you going to continue the Starbuck series?

Mr. Cornwell, I loved Agincourt, what a great book! I found your books by randomly selecting an audio version of the Archer's Tale in my library. Now I've read several and purchased some as well. Thanks for your great talent! I have one question to ask: why do you not use the f-word and/or bloody in Agincourt? Believe me when I say I do not mind that you don't... I'm not in love with graphic language, however, I do understand that soldiers use that kind of language, and appreciate you for writing real dialogue. But you don't use the f-word or bloody in Agincourt. Is that because, historically speaking, those words weren't in use at that time? Or is it just a personal choice? Thanks again for your books. I hope to see more medieval stories in the future! And until then, I have discovered Sharpe. -Jordan

Bernard, I am a writer and author who is also a tremendous fan of your Sharpe and Saxon series (I have yet to read the others) and I cannot believe that you wrote a blurb praising a book by Dewey Lambdin. As I am planning a saga based on a distant relative who was a privateer and Revolutionary War commodore, I thought to read Lambdin for background. I can't make it into his books. They say you can overlook writing problems if there's a good story. I can't get past the problematical writing to find the story. I wonder if you really read the book you blurbed for? Let me say again that I'm a huge fan of yours, and will eventually make it through all your books. Regards Charles T. Whippel aka Chuck Tyrell

Does the Sharpe's Complete Collection have English subtitles? I've rented a couple episodes from Netflix and they don't have subtitles. Sometimes the English accent loses this Americano. :-) Thanks.

Dear Mr. Cornwell: I hope can get to this within a week or so as I need this question for school project, if not Id love to hear your thoughts regardless. I have to do a report on the Easter Rising of 1916. my thesis is that was a patriotic event that helped spur the events that led to the formation of the Free State and later the Republic but 1948-9ish. But need to present both sides strengthen my argument. I know many felt that it shattered the hope of the Home Rule act and many of those in Dublin thought it was a slap in the face because they had family in the English service. But what cannot find is any hard quotes or articles that present the negativity of the Rising. Can you suggest anything? (articles and websites would be of most help as I doubt Id have enough time to read, cite and share the information) If you dont know, do you someone who could help me? What are your thoughts on it? May I use them in my speech? (cited of course) Thank you for your time and effort. Adam Azzalino

PS: Have you ever read any of Morgan Llywelyn Irish Century Series?

Ok, first I will ask you a question, then I will tell you an awesome fact about one of the places in Sharpe's Prey that isn't in the book! 1. Are you coming to Greensboro, NC anytime soon? and if not, PLEASE!!!! 2. The youngest mayor in Denmark is in Koge, where Sharpe fought the General Whatshisname!!! Well, please come to Greensboro, NC!!! Nash Tetterton

Really enjoy the "Starbuck" series. Have you written a sequel to "The Bloody Ground"? The last sentence in TBG ".....,but he was far from beaten. Starbuck will march again" indicates a followup book..but I've not been able to locate one. Could it have been hidden in another title? Am anxious to find/read it. BDH

I'm a fan of Herman Melville's and I wonder if you have ever considered finishing his story of Billy Budd, sailor?

Greetings Bernard! I hope to receive a response, but if you don't have time I understand. I am a HUGE fan. I absolutely love the Saxon tales, My favorite books that I have read. Your are also my favorite author, and Uhtred is my idol. I wish to live in the ancient times when war ships sailed and shield walls were formed. I have just finished "Sword Song" And I have to say you have a great writing capability! I read "Sword Song" in two days, I was hooked right away! I am no book worm in anyway, but I just devour your books because they are so interesting and descriptive. I love the way you explain with detail the battles that Uhtred faces. Once again I am a huge fan, and I am doing a book report on "Sword Song" for my English class. I am very young, 17. My name is Alexander, and I wanted to know what kind of music you listen to? I am a death metal fanatic and you MUST check out the band Amon Amarth. Amon Amarth comes from Sweden, all the lyrics derived from Norse mythology and include battles and mythological gods. They are brutal, and I have spent all the time reading your books listening to this band. I highly recommend "With Oden on Our Side", "Twilight of the Thunder God", "Fate of the Norns" and "Versus the World". Very good albums. It requires, like many things, an acquired taste. After a while you will be able to understand the vocals and learn to like the brutalness. The music is just as brutal as the vocals, and the lyrics are awesome! Like I said I hope you have the time to respond to this message and I hope you find the time to listen to Amon Amarth. Farewell Bernard. You have supplied me with many hours of entertainment, so thank you sir! -Alexander Holdaway
