Really enjoy reading your books. Just finished Bloody Ground. Having lived in Richmond for 18 years and working for the Richmond, Frederickburg & Potomac RR I felt you really brought the historical places of the war in focus. Think it's time you finished Nat's war. Keep writing you have a real gift.

Dear Mr Cornwell, I have just finished reading the Death of Kings and just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed the Uhtred series. What a fantastic character he is! I am not a person that generally reads a huge amount but have found this series of books interesting and captivating. Many thanks for helping me appreciate that there are books out there worth reading! Mick

Dear Mr. Cornwell: I love your books, Vagabond series, Starbucks, Stonehenge, Grail, Sharpe, and now the Saxons. I am a map freak and I find many historical fictions are lacking in detailed maps to track the action. I would love to see an addition to your website that contained detailed maps of the actions in your books. Just a thought! Keep writing!! Tom

Dear Mr Cornwell, since discovering your books especially Agincourt and then the Grail Trilogy I have never been so engrossed in a series of books since Tolkien's famous trilogy.I have read all the Saxon series and wait impatiently for the next book which I hope will not be the last of the tales of Uhtred, I feel I have grown up and older with him and your descriptions of saxon life, battles and hardships have sprung to life on your pages. Many many thanks for your supreme efforts and obvious research in the period, a magnificent achievement to be able to bring the ancient past to life. As an amateur though avid history buff I would love to hear about Uhtred's Descendants coping with the Normans and even further along in the Crusades. Please live long and continue to write your brilliant novels. Highest regards, Terry Garland

Dear Mr Cornwell, This 55yr old dad and his 13yr old son have both thoroughly enjoyed all your Sharpe and Starbuck books, and your novels. PLEASE complete the Starbuck Chronicles as you have left us both on tenterhooks. Or didn't the yankees appreciate the honest criticsm? Yours, Allan & Barnaby Sneller. Kent. UK.

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I was reading through the 'Your Questions' section and noticed a comment made by Bill Ghormley (April 2012) regarding Saxon excavation sites that are open to visitors and this may prove quite geeky of me but in case others have asked the same question I thought I'd mention an yearly excavation of a Saxon settlement in north Norfolk, that I helped excavate last year. It is not only open to visitors every day but is always looks for volunteers to help out. And curiously it is actually Called SHARP (the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project). I am yet to read your Saxon series (I am currently re-devouring the Sharpe books for the third time) but I have been told by an archaeologist friend of mine that it is excellent and I cannot wait to read them!

Hi Bernard, i'm currently studying for my A levels and have struggled to work out exactly where i want to take my life. However your books (in particular the Saxon series) have really inspired me to take History further at University. Therefore in spite of the countless nights that i have been gripped to your books, i would like to thank you for hours of thorough enjoyment. Rob Paulson - eagerly awaiting the next book about Uhtred!

Mr Cornwell I just want to say that I've been reading your Sharpe series and find it hugely entertaining. Captivating. Suspenseful. Even heart warming. I've enjoyed watching Sharpe grow. They are wonderful reads! I'm just about done the series (I'm on #18) and I'll be moving over to your other works. I am sure they will capture my attention as Mr Sharpe has. There's no need to respond to this email. I'm just sending you some praise. Thanks for creating such wonderful adventures. Warm regards, Stephen

I really enjoyed the Saxon Stories. I just finished the Death of the Kings. I hope you are working on the new book for this series because it is great! I can't wait for the next one.

Dear Mr. Cornwell: I just finished reading "Agincourt". The people are so real to me. The atrocities makes me cringe. The sights and sounds of the woods brings me there. I hope "Agincourt" would be made into a major movie - maybe directed by Ridley Scott. I am not sure who would be the perfect Nick Hook. I thought Laurence Fox could be perfect as King Henry V, Saoirse Ronan could be a Milicente who is both brave and vulnerable, and Russell Crowe could make an excellent Sir John. Best wishes to you and your writing, Jenny Healey Hamilton, New Jersey, USA
