Your Questions

I have read most your books and I am a big fan of your work. Currently reading through the Saxon books. I'm wondering whether you have thought of tackling the subject of Oliver Cromwell and the English/Irish Civil War? It is obviously a sensitive topic but I think you are the right man to tackle it. It is a very interesting period in English history, especially since it affected the future developments of the British Isles in a profound way. I know you have already tackled the US Civil War so why not the English? Greetings from Sweden. Marcus

Hi there Bernard I'm a big fan of your books...mainly the series that covers the Vikings, Danes and Saxons. I loved the last book "Lords Of The North" that I have now recently finished. When is the next installment...and what will it be called? Sincerely Blaise

I started with the Arthur series back in High School, and worked my way through all of your writing avoiding the Sharpe series. I always looked at the great deal of Sharpe books and often got overwhelmed. A year or two ago i picked up the first Sharpe story and have since been through them all with out more than a days break between them. I am starting Sharpe's Revenge today and with only two Sharpe books left I feel as though all of my friends are moving away, joking of course. What does the future hold for you writing, just curious what series we will see more of? Loyal reader, Brad Koyak

In Gallows Thief, Sandman notes he was lost in the mountains (in Spain/Portugal I think) but found by a rifle officer and some greenjackets. I haven't had time to check Sharpe, but, was this a chance meeting between Sharpe and Sandman??? I greatly apologize if you've answered this question before. Thanks for the great work, you're brilliant. Gary

Dear Sir, I was wondering whether you would ever consider bringing out a "Sharpe" computer game; you could play through all the books starting at "Sharpe's Tiger" and ending at "Sharpe's Devil" I'd definitely buy the game and I'm sure others would too. from Jamie Giblin

Dear Mr Cornwell, I have for several years enjoyed reading your books. In your books you have included some of the greatest military leaders Britain has produced, (Wellington, Nelson, Alfred the Great, and even the legendary Arthur). However to me there appears to be two glaring omissions from that group, Sir Francis Drake and Owain Glyndur both of whom were and still are shrouded in mystery. I was wondering if there is any chance of you writing some books on these two unique historical figures? Matt James

hello dear Cornwell, I'm a reader of your books and I'm from Brazil. I really enjoyed your vision of the arthurian legends and i have saw some good things in the books that i have read (Graal, Artur and starting Saxonic). I have noted that you describe the juridic system of the ages where the book is passed, like the sword tribunal in Arturian books and the Chivalry Code in Graal. I Study law and I'm interested in knowing more about the post romantic and barbarian law, and want to know the bibliography and fonts that you research to write the books, and want to know if the legal institutions of the books where true or invention. Proud by your attention, Kadur Albornoz da Rosa p.s: are you attending classes or are you focused only in the writing at the moment?

I just finished Lords of the North. I am smitten and you must write faster! :-) Seriously, I have long been interested in early England and the Norse Sagas. I actually drove to Lans aux Meadows to see the Viking ruins years ago. You make this period come alive. Is there a general history of this period you could recommend? There are SO MANY books about this period. Thank you and have a cool one at the Island House. Harry Haff

Is there a complete box set for all the Sharpe books? Mark Denny

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I wanted to first say off I first heard of you through watching the Sharpe's series while I was deployed to Iraq, after that I read the books and it they made me see a lot of myself in the enlisted Sharpe. But what hit me best was when I saw your name on the Saxon series books. I just can't put them down and most of the time I find myself reading them over and over waiting on the next one. It's quite pleasing to find that a lot of things in the life of a soldier haven't changed. These books made me realize that. Now if we could only get the Saxon series made into movies, haha. I would just like to ask if the shield walls are based off of the phalaynx formations. Drew Fesmire

Mr. Cornwell, I've enjoyed your books since I first read "Sharpe's Eagle" in the 70's. I recently bought and devoured "Redcoat" and was hoping there will be follow on books in this series. Will there be any additional books? Thank you, Mark Tolzmann
