I'm on this website looking up your full catalogue so that I can fill in some missing pieces. There's a stack of 29 books next to me with your name on them.

Thank you for the hours of enjoyment which these books have given me. They have followed me on planes and trains, on beaches, by rivers and in many many armchairs.  You probably hear this often, but keep writing and keep writing well.

If you're ever in Sydney, drop me a line because I owe you a beer.

I'm not writing a book. Not looking for an autograph. This message is to tell you 2 things:

1. Just finished reading Warriors of the Storm, and panting with eagerness to learn whether or not Uhtred wins back his Bebbanburg #10..??. You do an excellent job crafting his character. and 2. I was once a newspaper reporter for the Charleston newspaper, and love the city. Joe Riley one of my heroes. And been to many Spoleto festivals. Best wishes to you and I look forward to #10 of the Saxon series.

I love your stories as I love the English language and its origins. My thanks and respect to you for displaying your culture round the world.

I am from Washington (the original!) formerly County Durham & now Tyne & Wear.

Just dropping a line to say "Thank You" for your work  & to tell you that my Mam, Jean Ward, is visiting us from the UK. ( I now live in Australia) She is 90 years young & since she arrived here for a visit on 24th March she has worked her way steadily through your "Saxon Stories" and is ready for the arrival of "The Burning Land" in the post.  She returns to UK on 6th June.    I have to share this gem with you. She told me " I can't 'peg out' until I have read ALL of of Bernard's books!!"  She is such a fan & I have had great delight watching her devour each book - thinking - "this is the lady who taught me to read.. "  The race is on to see how many she can read before she leaves for the airport - and I know she will look forward to book deliveries when she returns home.   I have worked all day & Mam has sat quietly reading your book - every now & then I hear a "EEEH!" - and it is sooo frustrating - she has passed me & I get the book when she is done with it!  I'm smiling as I type this - I hope I can be so keen when I am 90!!  I love to hear her say "Anne - I'm almost finished this one - I want to know what happens next - but I don't want it to end"  Too good not to share Bernard.

Thanks Mr. Cornwell for writing the Sharpe series. I have read the entire series many, many times over. As a former sailor in the RAN, these books kept me happy, content (and sane) during extended periods at sea. I hope you are proud of your work. You should be.

Dear Mr Cornwell,

I have just finished reading The Empty Throne and have ordered the last book in the series. I totally agree with all your reviews, and I know I will be so sorry when I read the next and last book. I live in Hadleigh Essex and so enjoyed reading the history facts relating to the area. Just wanted to say the series has been a brilliant read.

Kind regards

Dear Sir:

I read many of the books in The Last Kingdom series many years ago. I am starting them again, as well as suggesting my daughter read them. I just wanted you to know that I love them and I am sure she will too. Great Books!! Great Character!! Thank you!!!!

Hello

I first read a single Sharpe book borrowed from a library many years ago and from that moment I was hooked up to today I have every title you have published and eagerly await future releases I am a huge fan of your writing and just wanted to say thank you for the many hours of pleasure you have given me.

Dear Mr Cornwell

I understand that your hero is named after the Cornish rugby player Richard Sharp. As a 13 year old I saw him in 1963 at Twickenham playing against Scotland where he scored what is called the most elegant try seen at HQ. It was wonderful. I could have touched him!

I understand he now lives quietly in St Ives but not forgotten by you and indeed me!!

Kind regards
