Your Questions

Hi again, Mr. Cornwell. Have you given any thought to writing a series focusing on the border rievers and all the fighting that raged on the English-Scot border during Tudor times? I'd love to see your take on the battle of Flodden (1513), as well as Solway Moss (1542), Ancrum Moor (1545), and Pinkie Cleugh (1547). What do you think? Alan Kempner

Hi Bernard When will Sharpe and Harper ride again ? Cheers, Chris

Any idea of when there will be the follow on from the lords of the north? Tim Harris

I wanted to take the time to say, What a wonderful story teller you are!. I have only read "the Saxon Stories". But I have not been able to put any of them down, some times I will read them twice when I get them so I don't miss anything. I have not had time to investigate all of your books, but I intend to try. When is the sequel for "The Lords of the North" going to make it to Canada?. I truly love your books, I am fascinated with the history involved with Vikings invading England I have Family history there. Your Books make me think of what My long lost ancestors might have been up to At that time. Once again Thank you for publishing your stories, and PLEASE PLEASE Keep writing without wax Lindsay Thurgood

Hi...just a quick question...do you think that there will be a 4th book in the Saxon Stories? I was soooo in love with the character Uhtred and I have never read any book like this, I usually stick to corny love stories or thrillers but now I am all for your types of novels and have gotten everyone in my family turned on to them (i.e: The Grail quest and Arthur books.) Anyway, "Lord's of the North" ended with the possibility of a 4th novel and I was just curious if my hunch was right? Thank you so much for your great storytelling and incredible insight! Nicole

Hey Mr. Cornwell I've read the Saxon stories and I've just finished reading Nate Starbuck's chronicles and I was wondering if you have plans for writing another book on Starbuck's series? Thanks For your attention, thank you, Armando

Dear Mr. Cornwell, As a writer and reader I love all things historic; Fiction or Non-Fiction. That being said I am still a relative newbie to your novels thus far. I have been reveling through your Saxon series lately and have enjoyed them immensely. I took a break from them this month to read your "Stonehenge", which absolutely floored me! And that's a good thing ;-) I found the entire thing completely captivating from start to finish. My compliments, sir! Have you ever considered writing about a non-European culture in any of your books? Say, for example, the disappearance of the Mayans or perhaps a story set amidst one of the ancient Chinese dynasties? I think you would be quite good at it! Thank you! Jeff from Indiana ~

Dear Mr Cornwell, I must say that you are my favourite author but my second favourite was the late David Gemmell. His books were brilliantly written and had a hint of history thrown in with the fantasy. I just learnt that he died in July this year. I was wondering if you'd read his works or maybe even met the man. I know he and his works will be missed. Lee Brake

I have just finished reading the first three books in the Saxon series, I believe that I read somewhere there is a fourth book due this summer/autumn, if so when is it being published and what is it's title? George Land

When will you be publishing the 4th book in Uthred's "Lords of the North" story? i.e. following his success at capturing Dunholm. John O'Neill

I really enjoyed the Saxon series and was wondering whether you would be writing any more. I have read your Grail Quest series (which lead me to continue reading your novels) and I am currently reading your sharp novels. One of my favourite Authors. Thank you Benjamin

Hello! You and Pat Conroy share the #1 spot on my list of favorite authors. I could go on endlessly about how much I love your books and why I do, but I'm sure you hear enough of that as it is. I've just one question: the planned October release for Sword Song -- is that in the UK, the US, or both? And if it's just the UK, how long before it's published on the other side of the pond?

Hi Bernard, Hope this email finds you well. I just have one simple question. Uthred and Derfel both call their swords by names, Hywelbane and serpent breath. Was this common practice at the time, Did warriors give their weapons names or was this a bit of artistic licence on your part. anyway keep up the good work.

ps what is the chance of printing a teaser extract from the forth coming saxon story for all us diehard fans.........please? Christopher Hockaday

Mr. Cornwell - I just finished the three Saxon books, which are the first books of your authorship that I have read. Uhtred's adventures have been very enjoyable. Now that I have seen your website and realize how many Sharpe books you have written, I am wondering how many books you envision for the Saxon series? Extrapolating from the pace of the first three, it would appear another ten is possible. Given the pleasure of reading the Saxon books, I will certainly be venturing into some of your other series. Warmest regards - Stan Faries
