I have read all of the Sharpe series but did not appreciate the historical accuracy and reality of many of the characters in the books until I read Richard Holmes' Redcoat. Can I just say how much more this has added to my enjoyment and appreciation of your works. The interweaving of fact with fiction is superb. Thank you.

Dear Mr Cornwell I just thought I'd say I'm am a huge fan of Sharpe. I've also read your Warlord Chronicles series several times and it's my favourite set of books. I think they would be an amazng set of films, better then the 2004 king Arthur film if done right. PLease try to do this they would be brillant! William Blackledge

Dear Bernard, In an age where everything seems to be centred around all things "space-age" or soon to be "here tomorrow" style of films and/or books,here in Australia on UK-TV, I saw Sean Bean in Sharpe's Battle and thought to myself it was great to see a film that portrayed honour, friendship, duty and above all,"the right stuff". I wish you well in all your writings and may the spirit of "Sharpe" live on. Robin

Mr. Cornwell, I am from the USA, and am on an extended Holiday with my Daughter here in England. It's all of those historical romantic novels I have read that made me want to come here. We went to a local library (as I am an avid reader) and found your book Harlequin on the shelf. My compliments to you. I read the book in less than three days, and have never ever felt that I was standing on a hill watching the battle, and even at times in the thick of it. But I felt it when I was reading your story of the young archer. You are a splendid story teller and I am off to the library to find Vagabond and Heretic. What a wonderful gift God has given you! Sincerely, Peggy Swanbery

I find your work and book s a joy to read, just a note to say keep up the great work! Paul

I would just like to say thank you for writing all of the books that you have. I hope you will continue to write for a long time. I don't want anything, I just want to say that I have read nearly every book you have written so far and LOVE them all!!!! Your Fan, Dan Heise

Sir; Your sailing novels are the best of their kind I've found. I hope you will write more. No need for response. Jeff

I just finished "Stormchild" in 4 hours- couldn't put it down! Thank you for writing it, it was magnificent!!! We are in the process of selling our house to buy a boat and do some cruising. All I want to read are sea adventures and yours was a wild ride. I wish I hadn't finished it - it was so much fun to read. Nancy R.

Dear Mr Cornwell the first time I came across one of your books was in London in 1997, that was Enemy of God.Since then I find it hard to read another author.I've gone through all the Arthur series (actually I've read the three books probably over a dozen times)from Stonehenge, Starbuck chronicles to the Qrail quest I've read them all over and over again.Finally I read my first Sharpe book(Sharpe's Eagle) and the shit hit the fan. In my 29 years of life I have never been so caught up in a series of books! I literally cannot put them down, I only have 17 Sharpe books to date and I've already read those over half a dozen times.That whole Napoleonic era I find so extremely fascinating and the way you write I almost wish I knew how to speed read just so I can get to the next paragraph faster.Looking back on this email it looks like I'm a little crazy or maybe infatuated? I'm not, I'm a simple machinist ,father of a wonderful 5 year old boy and husband to a U.S.F. graduate. I collect toys, play computer games, tattoos and read your books!!! All in all I would just like to say I think your a wonderful author and storyteller I wish you continued success in your work and now you have another lifelong fan!!!! oh and Scoundrel was just awesome!!!

Dear Bernard, I just want to say keep up the good work! It must be so hard for you with so many demands to write books. Everyone wants more Sharpe, more Starbuck, more Thomas, more Uthred etc. Personally I think you should write whatever series interests you most because whatever it is it will be stunning anyway. Just keep writing anything because your books bring history alive! Jon Clayton
