Your Questions

Dear Mr Cornwell.... firstly I have to congratulate you on your captivating writing style! You rank amongst my family as one of the best. When I find myself waking up, reading your book in the bathroom whilst brushing my teeth (once leaning out of the shower to finish a chapter) - walking down the stairs (dangerous) and whilst eating you know you've found a fantastic author. My problem is that I'm such an avid reader that I've devoured all your books on more than one occasion! I realise this is a strange request but I wondered if you could recommend a favourite novelist of your own or one with a similar style? Fully understand if you don't wish to give details of another author but believe me you won't lose fans! Kind regards Gareth

Hi, I started with The Grail Quest series and then The Saxon Stories. On a whim, picked up Redcoat. Had never been that interested in stories of that period. Loved it. Went through The Starbuck Chronicles in about two weeks and only took me about two months to devour all of the Sharpe Novels (awaiting book order of Waterloo and Devil). My question is, are there any plans for future Redcoat, Starbuck, or Sharpe novels? And I must admit, your sense of humor that you insert into Sharpe and Harper's banter is hysterical. My wife usually gives me queer looks as I laugh out loud. I look forward to a reply at your convenience. Sincerely, Brad Grace New London, Iowa

Mr. Cornwell, I live in Memphis, TN USA and,like all of your other many fans, can not get enough of your splendid writing. I have written to you before a few months back, but did not ask you this question.....Do you think you would ever come to a city anywhere near Memphis for any reason? I would love to just be able to see, in person, the most brilliant, powerful, amazing author and creator, and have a chance to say "Thank You" for all the intensely, yet fabulously, addictive stories I have EVER had the privilege to read. I can not get enough of your books. I read them over and over and over....and each time I feel as though I know the characters personally as old friends. I find myself wanting to be IN the story and very sad that I can not. I hope one day to meet you, but if I never have that honor, I will still forever read anything and everything you write. May you continue to be blessed and bless all of us with your wonderful writings. Toya Ryan

Dear Sir, I have read all of the Saxon stories, The Grail Quests, The Arthur books, and all of the Sharpe books. They are the best books I have ever read! Your stories leave me wanting more. I think that your version of Arthur is the best. I was wondering if you ever thought about writing a series based on the Crusades or even the American revolutionary war. I can't wait for the next book in the Saxon series and the Azincourt to come out. thanks for the great books. Erik Duffy

Just wanted to say I love your books, at least what I've read. I started with the Saxon tales, then the Grail Quest and just finished the Warlord Chronicles. I wish you would write about the Norman invasion of 1066 and maybe about Jacobite rising of '45. Thanks for hours of well worth reading. Tim from New York, USA.

Hello there Mr Cornwell, my name is Bruno, and I'm from Brazil. I'm a really fan of your work, read and re-read the Arthur trilogy and the 4 books of the Saxon histories so far, and my question is, and I'm sorry if I'm misplaced in history, but do you plan on writing anything about the history of William Wallace? That was a question I asked myself while reading the Saxon histories. Looking for the next books about Uhtred, he is my favorite character. And I'm looking for to get started on Sharpe's books. Thank you. Bruno Miyakuchi

hi Bernard, I am writing to ask where did you buy Sharpe's sword from,because I'm thinking of buying one myself and want to know a safe place to buy it from. Since I have come across a number of places who have all claimed to have sold a sword to you.If you could reply it would be great P.S. I love all your books. Would you ever think of visiting Cork in the south of Ireland? David Higgins,15

Hello and thank you so much for your tallent and sharing them in your novels. I was curious where I can obtain all the books you have written in a set. Thanks you again for your time. Bill

Do you have plans to write about the better time of English history, the Bourbon Dynasty? Vive la France!! Frederic Lavoise

First, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your books. I haven't read any of the Sharpe series yet but plan to. I have, however, read the grail quest, Arthur books, and Saxon stories series and I enjoy everyone. Your books have inspired me to write my own stories, though I am young and have limited resources for my research. I am having particular trouble with naming my characters. Names I need have to be British names one would hear around 43 AD during the Roman invasion of Britain. Roman names are easy enough, but the British names are harder. I do not know how much you know about this time period, but I was wondering if you had some suggestion for names or if you knew any good resources I could use for finding strong names. I would greatly appreciate it.
