Dear Mr. Bernard, A month ago I finished reading the 3 books of the tales of king Arthur, I really love it. I read other books about the theme, but none impacted me so much as yours. Here in Brasil where I live, they're making lots of success. Now I am reading Harlequin, and I can't wait for the next one! Unfortunately, here in Brasil it takes a long long time to translate and publish a foreign book! I really like your work. It's great to know that there're so many quality books waiting to be read out there... I can't wait for the next part of Thomas's history.... Harlequin is great. I don't wanna ask you nothing! I just want to say that your books, especially the king Arthur's books are the best thing that I've read in my whole life (and believe me, I read a lot!) Best Regards of an "fan" from Brasil, Vasti.

Thank you very much for your message Vasti.

Dear Bernard, Well. Where to start ! I basically just wanted to thank you for the books that have given me such enjoyment. I have just, within the last hour, finished Heretic. I enjoyed it and the others in the series greatly, as I have enjoyed all your other historical novels so far. I have Redcoat and Gallows Thief to get to complete the collection. A second hand copy of Sharpe's Waterloo started it all and I've read it 3 times so far. I actually had a copy of Sharpe's Eagle in a Readers Digest condensed book, but still went out and got the original and the rest and had read them all within a year. I can't really say that I have a favourite, but I can say that I have never been disappointed with any I've read so far. Having finished Heretic, I came to your website and was rewarded by finding Chapter 1 of Sharpe's Escape. I've just been watching Episode 2 of Sharpe's War that I'd taped from the weekend and Busaco was mentioned. Now I'm going to get to read about it. Great. I look forward to it. Thanks again, Ian p.s. Someone mentioned a finale' for Sharpe, though I agree to some extent with the writer who hoped you'd leave him on the farm. ( I have just seen the Christmas novel. ) His son, Patrick, can carry the torch now. However there is always the Alamo. Though there would maybe be one too many heroes. Ian lRutland

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I am a Brasilian fan and I have enjoyed the Arthur book, it is very involving, exciting and rich in details. Unfortunately, I only have found the Arthur books in Brazil. The Grail Quest is out of print, because its enomous success. I would like to ask you to contact the Record publishing house in Brazil to continue publishing the Grail Quest, so, I can remain appreciating your briliant work. Best regards. Marcus Coelho

Thanks Marcus. I understand the third book of the Grail Quest series, Heretic, will be published in Brazil in August of this year.


Q

Mr. Cornwell, I have heard, and hope you will confirm that when 'Sharpe's Escape' is released you will be coming to Canada for a promotion tour and book signing. And that one of the stops you will be making will be in Burlington, Ontario. I attended a reading and signing by Jack Whyte at an independent book store in Burlington, the owner proudly announced he had been contacted by your publishers and heartily accepted the offer. Thom

Sorry I can't confirm cuz I don't know yet. I haven't received an itinerary for the Canadian tour - but when I do I'll be sure to post it to the Diary page.

Hi, Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know I've really enjoyed the Sharpe's series. Keep 'em coming! Ken Murphy

I stumbled onto Archer's Tale last week and, as of today, I've read it, Vagabond, Heretic, and Gallow's Thief. Except for the fact that I'm pretty sure this is 2004 and that Thomas of Hookton is a creature of your imagination, I would almost swear that I fought with him - I could smell the cannon sulphur, hear the hoofbeats, and taste the ale. Your writing is wonderful. Though Thomas has found the Grail, I hope the series doesn't end now. I would also love to see Rider Sandman turned into a series character. We don't get much cricket coverage here in the States, so the cricket in Gallows Thief was much appreciated and enjoyed. I wish you the very best, and I thank you for providing me with such joy.

Q

Hi Bernard, Thanks for the hours of informative enjoyment I have received from your books. I have particularly enjoyed the Grail series, and have been inspired to research the medieval period (and also the Cathar story) myself. I am looking forward to reading the third book in the series and wish you well in your future endeavours. Heather

Hello my name's Mattia, I'm Italian. Your books are very beautiful, you're great! I don't speak English very well, I don't have any words to thank you! Bye, Mattia

A

Thank you Mattia - yours is a beautiful message.


Q

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I read all your books and I am desperately awaiting some further episodes of the Starbuck chronciles - it has been an extremely long time since the last episode. I have read your reply to a fellow reader on the same question and I can only add my request that it won't be too long. Thanks Gary


Q

Dear Mr Cornwell, I have read almost all of your Sharpe books and would congratulate you on the massive extent of research you do on the various military topics. In my opinion you are the best author I have come into contact with for a long time. Please keep up the good work- I shall be looking at some of your other titles and wonder if any other ones are comparable to the Sharpe series regarding military events, best wishes-D.H.
