Your Questions

hello, I have just finished your Grail quest books! Loved them! but I do feel a bit of sorrow that it is now over, will you be writing any other books about Thomas of Hookton? If not please consider it. Many thanks Chris

Hello Mr Cornwell, I'm from Brazil and i discovered your books in a podcast i heard. I have to tell you they are great, the battles are very dynamic. I'm reading the Grail Quest and I loved it. Will you write more books about Thomas of Hookton? He is a great character. And thanks for the enjoyment you have given for all those read your books! João "Zalbahee" Moro

hello, this might come as a bit weird asking the most prominent and best historical writer, but have you ever thought of writing a modern day war novel .ie the gulf war ,Iraqi war? It's just your unique take on battle scenes could bring life and highlight a topical subject. Aaron O Sullivan

Dear Mr Cornwell. I have been one of your biggest fans since I first saw Sean Bean as Sharpe. Then I discovered your Grail Quest series. Is there any chance that Thomas of Hookton will appear on the small screen? and who do you think would be the best actor to play him? All the best with your future projects. From Lynette.

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Id just like to say Thank you for the wonderful Starbuck books that u wrote, I am currently studying A-Level history and we did 2 units on the American Civil war and your books gave me a great back ground info into the War and Im sure they'll help me during my private study this coming year, as I am doing about Lee and you have already given me fantastic ideas of where to find sources such as the Richmond news papers!! But after reading the books Id really like to read another is there any new on when you'll be writing the next one as I know its been 11 years since the last one?? Also is there any possibility of some books that follow the career of Sharpes son who pops up in the Starbuck books as I think these would be a really good read!! Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your fantastic books Daniel McEvilly

I've read several of your books and enjoyed them all. I just completed the fourth in the Starbuck series. Had I known the series was incomplete I never would have started it. I find myself grossly disappointed. It seems to me a man should finish what he starts and keep his word - "Starbuck will march again." When? Van Cochrane

hello Mr Cornwell, I am a major fan of the Sharpe series and Sharpe's Havoc was the first real book I read. Since then I have read most of the books and seen all the films and am working my way through Escape now and still have Fury to read. I was wondering if you could explain to me a couple of points that I may have missed or were not included in the books- fist what happened to Tongue? And also how did Hakeswell escape the snake pit in Fortress? Love the work and keep it up! From James

I am reading the wonderful Sharpe's books in the historical order of the stories but I am a bit confused. I thought I read in one of the earler stories that Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill was killed. But then in later stories he has come back to life. Am I imagining this? Bruce Martin

Hi Bernard, I´m just one of your Fan in Brazil, I´m write from Brasilia. Now I read the Saxon Stories and I likely very much. Sorry for my English. But I need to write a letter for you to expose my satisfaction in read one of your book, because your books make to imagine the true story. I want to give my regards for the Saxon Stories and have a just little question. The Saxon Stories Finishes in Sword Song? I´m reading now the Pale Horseman who translated for Portuguese signs "Cavaleiro da Morte". Thanks for reading my letter. Diego de Castro Ribeiro

Hi, could you please tell me if and when the new Sharpe book and the Saxon books will be available (in 2007)?

Hello - just wanted to say I have really enjoyed reading your books, just finished the Arthur series. My husband is reading Sharpe which I will probably start soon. Will you be writing any more Arthur or Grail Quest? Thanks for your time, and please write faster LOL, Pam

I watched Sharpe's Challenge on itv 1 and I thought it was absoulte rubbish because it was Tiger, Fortress and Pat Harper in one. I just wondered if you agreed to this ? Jamie F.

Hello Mr Cornwell, I discovered your work about a year ago and I'm working my way through everything that isn't Sharpe before I dive into that series. Having read all the books listed on your website (except The Thrillers and Redcoat), I came across the mention of Coat Of Arms on a Google search. I use my local library service which stocks all your books bar this one, and can only find one mention of it on your site. I did manage to get a second hand copy from Amazon (for 1 pence!) and must admit I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Why is there no reissue? I'd say it was in my top 5 Bernard Cornwell books. I'm sure I can't be the only fan who'd enjoy it? Thanks for your continued good work and proving there really is no excuse for watching Trash-Telly!!! Tom Hollingum Oxfordshire
