Dear Bernard, I have just finished ‘The Last Kingdom’ and am about to embark on ‘Fallen Angels’. Thank you very much for these books. ‘Last Kingdom’ looks to be the start of a terrific new series with a successful narrator/hero in the mould of Derfel. I found it interesting the way the Uhtred changed sides, is this something that Nate Starbuck may do or is he too much of a ‘Southron’ now?!! One aspect of your books that I always enjoy are the maps which give a terrific support to the text itself. I have read on this sight that you plan to have the second novel in the series ‘The Shadow Queen’ (cool title!!) in October 2005. What do you have planned for March 2005? or am I being far too greedy!!?! Best wishes and thank you for your continued excellence, Berj.

Mr Cornwell, I say again you are a masterful weaver of historical fiction. I have just finished reading the Last Kingdom. Thank you for another wonderful book. I found myself living the the world you created for Uhtred, Ragnar, Ubba. I can think of only 2 other Authors whose writing leaves me wanting more, the way The Last Knigdom has done. This may be a cruel question, but when will the next book be published? Thom Walters

Dear Mr Cornwell, I have just finished reading The Last Kingdom. Congratualtions. Uhtred is easily the best character you have created since Derfel who, for whatever reason, really captured my imagination. When do you plan to have the follow-up books on Uhtred/Alfred published? Again well done. Bob Lester

I have just completed reading THE LAST KINGDOM can you tell me when the next book in the series will be published? do you intend using the characters from GALLOWS THIEF in another book? as I though you might. anyway congratulations on yet another unputdownable story!! G W Carr

Dear Bernard I have read everything you have ever written (that you have published). I haven’t got any favourite because they are all just brilliant. I don’t know how you do it but don’t ever stop you are the best author ever. Anyway I have just finished kThe Last Kingdom, eagerly await the follow on. Please could you tell me the title and when it will be on the shelves? thankyou, Spencer Lee

Hello Bernard, I live in Sydney, Australia and just wanted to thank you for your work…. I have read all your previous books, and have loved Sharpie and Harper like brothers…. their adventures have kept me entertained for hours…. and I look forward to passing on the collection to my son…. I have just finished The Last Kingdom and immediately turned back to the first page and started again…. what a great yarn…. the characters were great and the discriptions of both the shield wall and the country side were outstanding….. I cannot wait for the next installment in the life of another fine rouge…. Any idea when we can expect to see the next book? and at this stage do you have any idea how many books may be in the series? Looking forward to your reply…. Kind regards Craig Behringer
