enjoyed Arthur triology,except ending...after wading through circa 1000 pages,the resolution was not satisfying..a bleeding Arthur goes off to oblivion,an old Derfel stands guard with saxons on the horizon, and what of Derfel's family? his wife?..his daughter and her child?..the resolution stunk....needed to be tied, not hinted. john garhart

Mister Cornwell, I've only read the Grail quest saga and it just awesome. I'm from Argentina and trying to get your books is quite hard (in english, as I definitely prefer to read novels on its original language. Whatsmore, spanish translation are not good). I would love if you can write something else from Thomas Of Hookton, I really enjoyed the character. Thank you so much for the historical lessons I learned from you! Finally, you're sinking me. I'm seriously considering quitting from college, as I don't have enough time to read your books!! Keep up the good work! And kind regards from Argentina, Fernando

Hello, Mr. Cornwell. It's not necessary to reply, but I simply had to take this opportunity of thanking you for the many, many hours of reading pleasure you've provided. Being an avid reader, I've sampled the works of many modern (and some not-so-modern) writers, and can honestly say that all of your novels have left me wanting more - without exception. Should anyone ask me for advice on reading matter, my first question is always "Have you read Bernard Cornwell?" Looking forward to meeting Uhtred again. Once again, sincere thanks.

Hi, Just finished listening to the Arthur stories. I loved them and they made my moterway journey so much more pleasurable in the mornings. I could relate so much to the relationship that Derfel had with Nimue. Oh to love and loath, we men have all had a Nimue in our lives's at one point. Big Al.

Mate I've just read 'some' of the questions you get asked. Fair dinkum you have the patience of job. Enjoy your books and looking forward to Sword Song. All the best, Mike

Thanks for your reply. Incidentally, four generations of males in my family have had the given name "Etheldred". I never realized how far back that name went! Stuart Carter

Just wanted to say a personal thank you for another incredible read. I'm a writer too but not very successful as far as sales of my only 2 books are concerned. Just about to start researching my first historical novel and knowing how much I appreciate the little encouragement I get, even a 'big' author like yourself may well need a bit of encouragement too from time to time (although judging by your website I'm not the first to write my appreciation of your skills!!) I've devoured a number of your books over the years but have only just read Fallen Angels. Different to Arthur perhaps, but characters, plot etc were stunning. I reread some paragraphs just for the pleasure of the beauty of your writing. Thanks for sharing your talent. Anne le Tissier

I enjoy all your books, and thought you might enjoy this clip. Just a regular guy building his own Stonehenge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRRDzFROMx0. The technology is amazing in it's simplicity! Thanks for the many hours of enjoyment you have given me. Kevin Turner Chillicothe, Illinois

Mr Cornwell, I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know what a fantastic writer you are. I have read all of your books in the span of a little over 3 months and must say it was a fantastic 3 months! I find each and every one riveting. I have read a lot of historical fiction and you are, by far, the best purveyor of it. I won't ask what you're currently working on or what your plans are for future books because I don't care. I will read them and enjoy them immensely.

Dear Author (I have no idea how to address you as I somehow think I know you ,but dont, weird huh) I have just finished the last book in the Uthred series, and am as impressed by this as I have been by all of your work, there is unhappily one problem, I seem to be able to read much faster, than you seem to be able to write. I have the solution you must buy slaves to do the mundane tasks of your life so that you will be able to spend more time writing ,and researching your wonderful stories. I am sure Uhtred or Ragnar would provide you with some suitable bodies ,but if not then I will just have to wait until you get around to it or possibly reread some of you earlier books. PS thanks for all the pleasure. Jack McGill
