Hi, just wanted to say that I have read all of your Saxon series of books and have thoroughly enjoyed them… twice. I would like to ask if there is going to be a next one and if there is, what date you would estimate it being published. Thank you

Bernard. No doubt a much asked question. The next Saxon stories Novel. I am a “seasoned” (or so I say to myself) historical novel reader. I find the Saxon stories novels a step above, full of dry humour and fascination. Being ex Armed Forces, also with a sense of grit, as (no doubt) perceived by the “fighting Saxon.” Am amazed you can so successfully adopt the mantle/feel of period you write about for your different series. Can you put me out of my misery and tell me when the next Saxon stories novel is due? Cheers Rod Thomas

G’day Bernard! I send you warm greetings from Australia! My brother and his mate introduced me to the tales of Uhtred of Bebbanburg a few months ago, and I have since devoured all books in the series. I simply LOVE your writing style! I’ve been searching for a long time for a competent author with a diverse and appropriate vocabulary and a professional demeanor! But that’s not why I’m contacting you. I simply MUST know, is there anyway you can give a hint or random stab at when the 6th installment will be completed?? My brother had me believing that ‘The Burning Land’ was the final in the series and so I was expecting a very rushed finale. Obviously after having read the whole book myself (I finished about 15 minutes ago and couldn’t wait to send this e-mail), I read the historical note and found otherwise. I did take care to find word on an expected finish date myself before bothering you with such a trivial matter as I don’t want to impede your writing! However I noticed that the gaps vary between books by either 1 or 2 years…I simply don’t think I could wait until next year to see Uhtred finally return home! (Also I’m interested to see how the Scots will come into the story-line). Anyway, I understand if you have no ideas as to when it will be finished but thought there’d be no harm in asking about it. Best of luck with your ideas and various novels! You inspire all that read your books, of that I am sure. Kind regards, Andrew Faulks

Dear Mr Cornwell, I want to first Thank you for your books, because of them I now read in English fluently and it helps me to be closer of my English roots. My father also loves your books and now we have things to talk about. I know your are a busy man, so I will ask a quick question, are you planning to write a sixth book of the Saxon Stories? I have not finished the fifth yet. If you not, May I ask you what could be the topic of the next series? Thank you Jeremy

Thank you for ” THE BURNING LAND” , it’s great !!!! How long should I wait for the 6th ??

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Could you please let me know if you anticipate another sequel to your Saxon Tales series after The Burning Land? Very much hope so, and if so, when ????
