Mr. Cornwell, I have just completed reading the Saxon stories and it seems to me you have left the ending open to adding a fourth novel about Uhtred, have you any plans for this?. I must also say I bought the first one by chance and was so engrossed I have purchased and read the other three in the series inside 2 weeks, I am now starting on the Grail quest, excellent writing! Malcolm Nellist

Dear Mr Cornwell I would like to begin by saying how much I admire and enjoy your books. I have read and collect them all. I am an avid historian, and am extremely proud of my heritage, both, as an Englishman, and of my Irish ancestry. The Saxon Stories, the Arthurian Tales and the Grail Quest series are my particular favourites. I have always been an advanced reader and from an early age discovered, through my mother’s zest for literature, your work and I continue to be a great fan. The ending of The Lords of the North has left me in growing anticipation of more tales of Uhtred and his adventures, and as it states a number of times within the novel he lives to be near 80 years old, you undoubtedly have more with which to captivate your loyal readers. I was just wondering when the next installment is to be published? I do hope you don’t find my question to be too trivial, and I apologise for taking up your time. I thank you for your time, and look forward to reading much more of your work. Yours Faithfully Dave Hickey

Hi Bernard I have read Saxon stories, Arthur books , Grail Quest & Sharpe books. All the stories are so detailed, it’s like being there as you describe the battles. I have two questions for you . first of all is there a fourth book on the Saxon stories & have you ever thought of writing about the English civil war? It’s just a thought as this was a very colourful period in English history. I look forward to hearing from you. regards from down under, New Zealand. Sam

I love the Saxon Stories! I have read all three several times so far, when is the next one coming? 2007? 2008? Randy Ellis

I was thoroughly enthralled by the first 3 books about Uhtred and just finished Lords of the North- Can you tell me if there is a continuation of this series? Doreen Johnson

Dear Bernard Cornwell I was first introduced to your marvellous stories, at rather a young age, when I was ten years. I couldnt sleep one night so I came down and watched what my father was watching, unbeknown to me it was Sharpes Waterloo. After observing this great story I naturally wanted more so, my parent showed me your books, and they took great delight in my ability to miss pronounce the French and Spanish towns. The first one I ever read was Sharpes Regiment and I have never stopped reading your stories since. But I have digressed, my real reason for writing is to ask – I have recently finished your Viking Series about Uhtred and am very excited, not only to see how the blood feud ends but also to know what Alfreds next political move is. Is there a new book in that series in the near future? Yours truly, James Ware
