Hey loved the Pale Horseman - reading it again for the 3rd time. Um was wondering if in the 3rd book you could have a Welshman travelling with Uhtred cause I'm from Cardiff and I think the Welsh are under rated.Thanx Scott

A

There's one travelling with him in the 2nd book! Pyrlig, and a splendid Welshman he is. Not in the third, because Uhtred travels north and gets into ten kinds of trouble far removed from the Welsh. But Pyrlig, and other Welshmen, will return!


Q

I have to admit I love the Sharpe novels, but I do believe you've taken him as far as he can go, the later books lack the quality of the earlier ones (still very good though so please dont get me wrong) Uhtred now is a different matter..... lets have another 20 books about him, being a northumbrian myself it's nice to have some one to identify with. Derfel will always have the biggest place in my heart though he's a truly fantastic creation and the fact that he only appeared in 3 books gives him that legendary appeal. I thank you for the many hours of pleasure your books have given me (I've just read The Pale Horseman in one sitting). The Crusades are just sitting there waiting for your skill, so think harder about it and make your fans happy (and you richer) all the best, Davey :)


Q

Just finished Sharpe's Devil. Have missed a few books in the series but I thought it was fine and fitting finish to a great series. Sad there are no more but glad the hero finished with his family in retirement. Wish I could write stories as well as you, much like tone deaf people wish they could sing. All the best, David Caswell


Q

Dear Mr Cornwell I received The Pale Horseman recently and am really looking forward to seeing what adventures await Uhtred, Alfred and co. At the moment I am planning to save it for Christmas reading but I'm not sure I can wait that long! Marie


Q

Dear Mr Cornwell. Just had to drop an email from Australia to say THANK YOU. I happen to run across a copy of Sharpe's Tiger about 4 months ago, I am now up to Sharpe's Waterloo and Battle Flag and my partner is threatening to leave me if I buy any more of your books (only joking) - she thinks it would be cheaper for me to be using drugs than buying your books every week :) hehe. Thankyou so much for the Sharpe series and I absolutely love the Starbuck chronicles as well and hope there are more Starbuck adventures to come. I'm sure you get many thanks for your books but I had to add my own thanks for the many great hours I have had with the world oblivious while I am head down in one of your novels. Cheers, Peter McCullagh


Q

Sharpe's Devil introduced me to your writing years ago. Since then there isn't a Sharpe's novel I haven't read at least twice. Don't we all wish we had a bit of Sharpe in us, with a steady companion like Patrick Harper watching over us. Your discriptions of Sharpe's adventures sent me to the history books and the internet to learn more about the events you've described. I now hold Wellington in awe, and continue to be amazed at what the British common soldier endured and accomplished. And this from someone who grew up with the American Civil War idolizing Lee, Grant, Jackson and Forrest. To me your absolute triumph is the Arthurian trilogy. You brought this mythic icon alive, and made believable and human an otherwise unapproachable legendary hero. I've read the Morte d'Arthur, the White novels, and many others, but yours stands out as my favorite. That said, I do hope Sharpe and Harper march again. Greg Kelsey, Woodstock, IL


Q

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I Just finished reading Harlequin, and I thouroughly enjoyed it. I have also read Stonehenge, and I loved it. You seem to bring the characters to life, I really enjoy your work and will be reading many more of your books. Thank You. Charmaine Lewis


Q

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Just wanted to thank you for the many priceless hours I've spent reading the sharpe series. I am currently just finishing up "Sharpes Devil". That makes 20 of 20! With the exception of one I own them all in trade paperback (I wish I had started the collection in hardcover oh well) and they now hold a top shelf position in my library. I do wish however to add my name to the long list of people who have read and hope you finish the "Starbuck Chronicles". I have read and reread them several times now and absolutely love them.(the only other books I have ever read more than once are the Tolkien series) Anyways, I just wanted to say that I'm lovin what you are doing, keep it up and have a happy New Year. -Sincerely --Jason Francis, Stevens Point, Wi


Q

Wow... I'm nearing the end of the last in the Arthur books; all I can say is WOW!! I was never been good at reading and never seemed to find a book I really connected to, but can I just say: 'stunning'. You've given me a love for reading that I was missing, sparked a real interest in old Britain, and have set me on a the road that I'm looking forward to driving down with the wonderful collections of books I can't wait to get into - I'm going to get "the grail quest" next. Thank you, a new but fervent fan, Mike


Q

Hello Bernard! I'm from Brazil and I just want to say that I am loving The Grail Quest. Harlerquin (in portuguese is something like "The Man with an Arc" )was the first book made by you that I read. And certainly will not be the last! Congratulations for your excellent work! Natascha Rabelo
