Your Questions

Dear Sir; I believe you are my favorite author, not that it means you'll always sell at least one copy. My question is this: have you any plans to follow Mr. Sharpe through his basic training in the rifles (please say yes?) with all due respect and well deserved honor; Brian Thibodeau P.S. you ARE very good. but that's like taking coals to Newcastle isn't it?

Hello sir. few questions. if and when will you be coming to Canada and if so a whole tour? when was the last time you where in Canada? did you like it? sorry to be so pesky but is there a new Sharpe movie coming out? and just started the Winter king AMAZING. thanks for everything. Luke Wynes

My english is very bad! I am a danish fan, and two days ago I just finished your latest book translated into Danish, "Sword Song". Your books about Uhtred gets better and better, and I love them! :o) I have something with the Danelage... :o) Please, hurry, write some more about Uhtred, and let it be translated as quick as possible! I am waiting, waiting, waiting...! :o) Do you know how many novels it will be in the end? Very wishful greetings from a danish fan Tonnie

Is Coat of Arms and The Aristocrats the same? Jillian

Please write the next book in the Saxon series! Please! ASAP! Any idea when it is coming? I have re-read the first four several times now and I am going a bit mad waiting for the next one. And keep up the brilliant work on all the others as well. Ever thought about cloning yourself? You could have one writer for the Sharpe series, one for the Saxons, one for new stories...Mark Saunders

Hey, I just want to let you know that I love The Saxon Stories. They are one of the best series I have ever read and I think that you are very talented. The reason why I'm contacting you is because I want to know when the next book is coming out =). I can't wait and I know it takes a lot to write a book but even if it's just an estimation? lol, I know its pretty much impossible but I just want you to know that I think you are an excellent author. Thanks, Emily Keyter

Mr Cornwell, Thanks for taking the time to answer my earlier question, good to know Vicente will be back! Your answer made me think of another question. I'm an English and Creative Writing student and sometimes I find I've got my wires all crossed when writing the shortest of stories! As you've said you haven't written the books in chronological order. You've written a great number of novels now and have there ever been instances where you've said something in a book that is negated by events in another? I ask this because I was reading Sharpe's Enemy lately and Sharpe mentions the Sultan and how he gave one of his rubies to a woman he thought he loved completely...who promptly ran off and left him. Sixteen years later, was this woman replaced by lady grace? Thanks again Rhys Adamec

Hi Mr Cornwell , Your books have passed many a fine hour on holiday or at home , I am a keen history fan especially military and all your books hit the right spot . I have even converted my Wife Kate although she is a history fan for some strange reason she only like factual biographies' by Richard Holmes/ Antonia Fraser etc and refused to read historical fiction novels where the fictional character is set in real events , nearly all your books !!. But since I kept pestering her to read one she has given and is now a huge fan like myself. One quick question, Kate and I are off to the USA in August staying in Hilton Head SC for a week before driving up to Asheville NC and then doing the skyline drive to Washington. Have you ever been to Hilton Head and if yes can you recommend any Restaurants , Bars etc . I am big Civil war fan and would like your advice on must see sites that I could visit ( Kate is not a fan but has promised me 2 visits as well as Arlington cemetery to Gen Lee old House). Look forward to your next book and please please do another Starbuck book !!! . Thank you Dave Swift

Hi Mr. Cornwell. How long do you usually wait between finishing writing one novel and beginning another? You say you've finished Azincourt. Do you anticipate starting to work on the next Uhtred novel before it is released in October? Alan Kempner

Hi, I just read the excerpt from Azincourt and am already intrigued. Being an avid Sharpe fan I see possibilities in the character of Hook for a series. What are the chances that there will be more of this character in the future? I look forward to reading the book when it comes out in October.

Maybe another Sharpe book next?

Hello Mr. Cornwell, First off, the obligatory but no less true expression of appreciation for your work...I THINK I've read everything you've done under this name, and am trying to get my hands on what you have written with others under different pseudonyms. Now, I have a few questions. These are not so much suggestions as a combination of curiosity and hope: Having looked at the kinds of periods which seem to intrigue you enough to write about, I was wondering if you had any plans for novels and/or series for any of the following eras: 1) The Roman Invasion of Britain. 2) The Welsh Wars. 3) Your own working on the Robin Hood myth. 4) The Battle of Britain (more recent than your norm, but not, I think, without its appeal for you.) 5) The Wars of the Roses...though I did see another address this with you, and you answered as unsure at the time. 6) The Civil War. I could see any or all of the above being fantastic in your hands, and though I have no real hope that you'll tackle them, I was wondering if I ought to abandon it altogether, or let it flicker. Henry V was another I'd hoped you'd take on, and am as such obviously excited about the novel.

Oh, last question, though this might be something answered elsewhere...I am not great at navigating the internet yet, and often miss the obvious...is there an ETA on the next of the Saxon stories? Thank you for even opening up an avenue for this kind of thing. The recent discoveries at Stonehenge are both interesting and dampening, no? Take care, James
