I just want to say that I enjoy reading your books. My favourite being the Saxon series. So much that I have joined The Vikings reenactment group. Not bad as a warband member of 63yrs. If you are in the UK in August there is a large muster on Lindisfarne

Mr. Cornwell - I just finished the Sharpe series, less than an hour ago. With limited reading time the process took nearly a year! I greatly enjoyed the series and now I find myself feeling somewhat bitter-sweet...like an old friend has moved away. I read the Grail Quest and Arthur books before Sharpe. I look forward to reading the others series' as well. All the best to you. James Hopkins St. Charles, MO

I cannot imagine the volume of contacts that you receive. Your books do more than entertain me when I read them. They lead me to look deeper into the events before, during, and after your tales. I have learned so much by using your novels as a springboard to explore history. It is usually the case where fact, when known is usually stranger that fiction. I am sure you cannot write fast enough to tell the tales of Britian. One period stands out to me as having been ignored. That is the time where the Danes actually did rule England under Cnut the Great. I would be very interested to hear your view and the possibility a book covering the Danish rule of England prior to the Norman conquest. Thanks and I wish you a long and happy life, keep writing.  Jeff Stephens

Dear Mr Cornwell, I want to say nothing more than your books are wonderful. I recently picked up The Last Kingdom following a glowing review from a friend and I was blown away. I'm currently storming through the Pale Horseman. In short thank you for painting such a wonderful mirror of the past for one to walk through, Yours, Tom Lewis

I absolutely love the Saxon series!!!! I have studied English history but these series of books just makes me want to learn more. I just finished Death of Kings and am glad Uhtred is not gone. I just wish that you could write faster!!!! It takes less time to read and finish a book than it takes to write one. Keep up the excellent work!!!

Good Morning, Sir Cornwell, I'm a Brazilian fan and I've just wanted to thank you for your books! As in Brazil the books in general are a bit expensive, I can not buy all at once, but I have already finished The Grail Quest, Azincourt, Stonehenge, The Arthur Books and I' m now reading the second book of Sharpe. I've just wanted to thank you for having created characters like Sharpe, Derfel and Thomas that are simply amazing! Thank you very, very, very much! Marianne

Just wanted to say thank you for your amazing work! I participate in medieval combat sports, no role playing, just combat in garb, braveheart without blood mostly. I invite you to experience this. Belegarth website. Agincourt rocked! Duke Wagner

I've read and re-read your Sharpe books - great adventures! In fact they've inspired me to write a time-slip adventure of a hero very much like Sharpe, except that my man is an SAS trooper fighting in Afghanistan who gets blown back to Africa of 1828 engaged in battle with the Zulu king Shaka and allied to an African Queen, Mantatisi - who did exist. That book is now on Kindle, title 'Kingsy & The African Queen' under my pen name 'Joe Emms'. I'm now working on the next Kingsy adventure - but all thanks to you for being the spur to prick my intent. PS Your Saxon adventures are first class too!

I've read, and loved, your books for many years, although I cannot say I've read every single one. I'm of Scot's descent - I know, most say Doherty is Irish but my GPa, whose birth record surname was Docherty, told me that we were descended from the Scots for whom many of the things in Northern Scotland, such as Loch (Lake) Dochertie and River Dochart are named. Since I'm of that descendance I've always thought you could do such an amazing job writing the Viking stories, especially as they affected the British Isles. I understand DNA analysis shows that Somerled was even of Viking descent, although he did not know that - many of the Scottish clans like to claim their descent from him.

Mr. Cornwell, I've enjoyed Richard Sharpe for many years and recently started re-reading the Starbuck series. Although there is certainly similarity between the two characters the historical context is completely different. Most earnestly consider a near term continuation of this exciting historical series!
