Dear Mr Cornwell. I dont suppose you remember me from AGES ago when I used to email you quite regularly via this form. ANyway, I hope you are well and enjoying your travels. I just had to write after having a marathon sessions of your novels. In the past 3 months Ive read 10 Sharpe books (Prey, Havoc, Escape, Sword, Fortress, Honour, Regiment, Waterloo, Revenge and Tiger) both of the Uhtred novels and Stonehenge. Its got to the stage that Im gong to have to buy muself duplicate copies of your novels, because Sharpes Gold has been read at least 20 times...and is actually falling apart. It is a very battered, much loved copy - but it may have to be retired. And I have many more of your books in the same condition. I own two copies of Fortress, one of them signed which I am too scared to read - its one of my prized posessions! I was wondering (and I know its been asked many a time before) how many more Sharpe novels you have planned, and are you planning on retiring him any time soon? ON another note - I wanted to thank you for mentioning the ISle de Maurise - Im half Mauritian, and not many people know of it. Many more do now because it is an up and comming holiday destination, but after years of telling people where my mother was from only to be met with "Where?" it was fantastic to have it mentioned in your story - thanks! On another note, would you ever consider putting a sly nod to your fans in any of the Sharpe novels. I am desperately in love with Mister Sharpe and would love my name(Angela) to be even slightly associated with his as one of his many women. Hell...even if it was a servant girl that just got a glimpse of him - It'd make my day, hell - itd make my year! :D On another note, just wanted to tell you how much I love The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman. Almost as much as I love Sharpe. You always manage to amaze me. I read The Pale Horseman in one sitting. It took me just under 6 hours...I physically couldnt put it down. I enjoy writing, and have a few short stories published on the net at www.fanfiction.net and have always recieved positive reviews, and one day I hope I can come up with an original idea, and have the time, patience, and imagination to make a real go of it. Im waiting eagerly for the new Sharpe film...I was wondering if it would be possible...since the films don't strictly adhere to the novels whether it would be possible to make a film of Sharpe's Prey...only move it on a little in the timeline just so it was before Waterloo? I love that novel, and the story of the bombardment of Copenhagen fascinates me. Id love to see it made as a production. Many thanks for many years of pleaseure - Ive been reading your books since I was 12, Im now almost 23! Take care, god bless. Angie xxxxx

A film of Sharpe's Prey? I guess anything is possible but there are no plans for it at the moment.

Be careful for what you wish! Sharpe now has a mission to find Angela . . . . . . . .

Dear Mr. Cornwell, last Saturday I finished 'Sharpe's Triumph' and I must say that it's one of the best books I've ever read. I absolutely loved it and I can't wait to read the previous book as well as the next ones. My parents, relatives and friends thank you: they won't have any trouble finding the perfect Christmas/birthday gift for me for at least three or four years. I was wondering, have you ever heard of fanfictions? In case you have not, I'll explain what they are: as their name suggest, they're stories written by the fans of a book/movie/videogame/comic/TV show/whatever using the characters and settings of said book/movie/etc. They are tolerated since no one is getting paid, but writes for fun, and obviously everybody knows that the fanfiction writer does not own anything except the plot and occasionally one or more original characters that cover various roles from co-protagonist to simple extra. Anyway, I was wondering what do you think of them, since some authors are openly against them. Sometimes, when I run into some horrible fiction where the characters are badly mistreated, I can almost see their point, but then I remember that there are also wonderful stories that are only waiting to be found and read. I wish to know your opinion and, if you had never heard of fanfiction before, I hope that now you won't ask to your reader not to write them (some authors did). I'm sorry if I've made some mistakes here and there, but English is not my native tongue: in fact, I am Italian and I live in Turin. Best wishes Laura

I think they're splendid! I don't read them much (not enough time), but from time to time I see them - it's a great tribute!
