Q

I know you do not have much to do with the filming of Sharpe but wanted to ask you a question about it. Without being rude, I think that to do your work justice (referring to Sharpe Tiger film rumour) that indeed Sean Bean might not be Sharpe since Sharpe is younger. Who would you say would be (in this situation) more suited as a younger Sharpe? I am thinking that Ray Stevenson (King Arthur) would be a potential candidate. I know you maybe legally and morally limited to respond to this but it was just a thought as I am a big Sharpe fan. Thank you Matt

I feel Sean Bean is well-suited for the role of Sharpe - at any age.


Q

Mr. Cornwell, Several years ago I read several of your books in the Sharpe series, and I really enjoyed them, especially as I was studying British colonialism in university then. Well, recently I purchased your novel The Last Kingdom on amazon.com and I loved it! The characters are outstanding and I love their odd quirks and historical accuracy. I look forward to your next novel in this series. In short, keep up the great work! Allan


Q

Having watched all the Sharpe series on tv i have now started to read the books. Just want to say what a fantastic character that Hakeswill is 'Can't die Sharpie, I can't die'. Thanks very much. DV.


Q

Hello Mr. Cornwell. I have been reading your books for quite some time and found them incredibly interesting considering the unit I parade with in Canada (The Royal Regina Rifles) are the sister regiment of the 95th. I can't wait to finish the series and please do not stop writing about Sharpe because I know I'll want to read more about him when I'm finished (or possibly Harper). Up the johns! Cpl. Makie

Your historical novels are, I am sure, first class, but please let us have another contemporary sailing story along the lines of "Stormchild". Brian

Click on the link for 'The Thrillers' in the Select a Book Series box to your right to see the titles of the other contemporary sailing stories. I hope you'll enjoy them all!


Q

Hello, I really loved the Warlord chronicles. Since I was a little girl I have loved the Arthurian legend and your book bought it all to life for me. Derfel is such a great character, and I loved the way you portrayed Lancelot. You have a way of writing that makes me feel as though I am in the shield wall with Derfel!! Thank you so much. Josie


Q

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have just finished the Warlord Trilogy, and I can say that it is one of the best trilogies I have read so far. 'The Winter King' the first masterpiece of the trilogy I could not put it down. The second book 'Enemy of God' was expectantly satisfactory. But then came the final and the most brilliant of all, I'm referring to 'Excalibur' of course. This book gave the last, few rays of light to this magnificent trilogy (Though I would have dearly liked to read what happened to Arthur in the end). Mr. Cornwell I am going to head for your other books now, because I know you're one of the best authors this world have ever seen. You're my future Tolkien. The last word I'm going to tell you is THANKS for the brilliant stories you provide for us readers. Luca


Q

Just a sincere thank you from a faithful fan. Having both read and listened to all the Sharpes, I am surprised that your bio does not list combat experience. As one who has lived through the Battle of Tet, and others, I must say you have a good feeling for the chaos of war. More Sharpes, please, sir? And fair winds to you. Lawrence Robert Moss


Q

Dear Mr. Cornwell I just got done with the Arthur series. You really know how to bring a man close to tears. You are truly the best writer in my book. Look forward to reading more of your books. Ian


Q

Dear Bernard-forgive the address,I feel we have known each other for years and years,having read, re-read, seen and re-seen TV Sharpe for ever and ever. I believe you owe us at least one more Sharpe novel-that of joining the 95th Rifles on his return to England from India!-I'm sure your creative mind is up to this even if it is total fiction, although I am certain you would find a great deal of fact to weave into the story line Once again many thanks for so much informative reading. Kind regards Jeff Huntingdon

A

I'll keep that in mind!
