Dear Sir, Don't really have a question, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your books! Have read several, including the warlord chronicles, and am just starting the fourth installment of the Starbuck series. Anxiously awaiting the fifth! Sincerely, Dave Zimmer

Bernard, Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoy reading your books. I've been particularly enjoying the Sharpe's series (have read almost all) with their factual basis. Keep up the excellent work! Kind regards Peter Foley

Just wondering when there will be another book in the Newgate series? I really enjoyed Gallows Thief! David Viner

Please write at least one more book to the Arthur series. I so enjoyed that series and would love to read more on Derfel & Arthur's son. I would enjoy reading another book by you that covers the remaining years between Camlann and Derfel "writing" the history of Arthur. Jane Barry

The Warlord Chronicles are the finest story I've had the pleasure to read. I like to imagine an old and tired Derfel standing his ground against the saxons at the gates of Dinnewrac, and in the ensuing fight the old warrior returns for one last battle before he jouneys to the otherworld. Robert Milson

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have read every one of your many books. Thank you for the hours of pleasure I have enjoyed! You must continue the Starbuck Chronicles! Jean H.Kouns.

Hi, in Sharpe's Havoc beginning of chapter 6 you mention in passing the uniform of Lieut. Pelletieu of the French artillery. You describe his breeches and waistcoat as being white. I beleive the uniform of the French Artillery was all blue, including the breeches and waistcoat, with black gaiters and red cuffs and collars. The uniform was very similar to the French Legere. It had not really changed since the days of the old royalist army of the ancien regime. Thought you'd like to know because you always go in for great detail in your novels. Roger

Hi, I've been reading your books for years. I got a galley of "The Winter King" from a friend in England well before it was published in the States and I loved it. I felt the realism and detail were superb, and coming from a devout Arthurian Legend Geek, that's saying something. Then in a movie rental store, I saw a VHS of one of the Sharpe series. Seeing as it was based on your novels, and I loved your work I rented it. Fell in love with the character, rented all they had, decided Sean Bean was the bomb and became a huge fan of his before most Americans even knew who he was. I now own all the movies on DVD. I am working my way through the entire Sharpe Series and have enjoyed every book. I have read all the Arthur books, Stonehenge, the Grail Quest, "Redcoat," and I just finished reading "The Gallow's Thief." Someday I will get to the Starbuck Chronicles. If I could have read any book in the world, it would be a book set in the 16th century dealing with the Landsknecht written by you. Just an idea... wink wink, nudge nudge. Of course you may have no interest in that period, but I find it fascinating. Anyway, keep up the great work. I'll always be a fan. Dana

Since my grandfather was a union soldier in the Civil War I am fascinated by the Starbuck series, PLEASE don't stop at Antietam. Thank you..Papa Bob

Mr. Cornwell, In response to a question about your favorite characters you wrote, "A: My favourite is Obadiah Hakeswill, of course, and after him the delicious Ceinwyn from the Arthur books." WOW, what a contrast. I can't think of any two of your characters, among all the saints and sinners, farther apart -- in both outward appearance and and inner substance -- than Ceinwyn and Obadiah. The only thing thay have in common is that they are truely wonderful characters. My personal choice, exclusive of the main characters, is Blas Vivar. He's one big reason that Sharpe's Rifles is my favorite of your books. Duncan Adams
