Hi Mr Cornwell. I just want to thank you for your wonderfull "The Arthur Books". Regards Teresa Carvalho

Dear Sir, Thank you so much for the Richard Sharpe series. I particularly admire the tremendous amount of historical reasearch that has gone into these books. Being a CS Forester fanatic for over fifty years, I especially like the way you tied Sharpe's Escape in with Rifleman Dodd. Now, a suggestion, or constructive criticism,or something. You missed a bet in Sharpe's Trafalgar. You mention a lot of Nelson's captains at Trafalgar, such as Israel Pellew. But you missed his brother, Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, later Lord Exmouth, who, while not present at Trafalgar, was the Admiral commanding His Majesty's ships in the East Indies at that time, and so was therefore Captain Chase's commanding officer. And he was also Hornblower's captain when Hornblower was a midshipman. I know that Hornblower and Sharpe are both fictional, but the Pellews were real. A very minor point, but it would have been fitting to tie him in. (It's wonderful being a Monday morning quarterback with 20-20 hindsight.) Anyway, thanks for a lot of very enjoyable reading. Thanx Paul Jacobson

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

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Thank you for writing about the Danes. I'm a dane and I very much like to read how the Danes are perceived by you via Uhtred. I have the feeling, that it is not only Uhtred that has his difficulties choosing side. Alfred dies in 901, but the (hi-)story doesn't end there. Ethelred II was defeated by the Danish Canute the Great -so we did succeed in the end. Should you ever want to make a film, then I have 3 sons with blond hair and blue eyes. The middle one is 15 years, 105 kg, 1,96 m tall, strong like an ox, and still growing. He could be Ragnar. Anyway, I like you Saxon stories. Thanks a lot!

A few years ago I wrote to you, inquiring whether you would be writing anything else like the Warlord Chronicles. To my great pleasure you replied, but I was dissapointed to be informed that no, you would not be writing anything of that nature in the near future. Today I found a copy of the last kingdom while looking through a store, read the back, and immediately bought it. It may be set at a much later date, but I am still glad that your books have once again returned to the dark ages. I greatly look forward to reading it. I would also like to personally thank you - along with several other authors - for inspiring me. I had always been interested in history, but the works of historical fiction authors intensified my desire to learn more. This has benefitted me greatly. I am now in my grade 12 year, and am already participating in history and English courses at the University of Waterloo, and working as an assistant to a professor. I will be attending a university with larger faculties in those areas full time next year, with the hope of becoming a professor and writer one day. Many of your books helped me along this path, and I would once again like to thank you. Sincerely, Matthew Gayford

Hi Bernard, excuse the familiarity but I feel I know you as I have read every single one of your books so far, except Pale Horseman, which is on it's way. I have just finished Fallen Angels, and really enjoyed it. After reading the first chapter I thought I had picked up one of my wife's bodice rippers, but from then on what a great read. I think it would make a great film, have you had any interest from the film industry? Anyway keep up the great writing, I am looking forward to reading Pale Horseman, but first I am going to re-read The Winter King. Best Regards, Peter.

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 :)

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

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
