Poor Nate has been stuck in a deep freeze somewhere since your 4th book.  Hopefully Nate will be taken out and thawed out to finish the Civil War and then do like so many of his real contemporaries by being an instrumental part in the migration West.  I would be happy if he does the move West either in the US Army or as a civilian, but please do dust him off because he is one of your most entertain writings. Your readers are looking forward to seeing Nate in a TV series.  Can't be too soon.

My name is Ruben Baes, 30 years old. I studied at the university of Ghent, Belgium and graduated as a historian. Needless to say i like to read historic novels. So I quickly discovered your novels about 15 years ago. Among my favorites are the novels about Azincourt, Crécy, the Uhtred chronicles and I was particularly fond of The Fort.

Besides your novels I really like to read Patrick O'Brians Aubrey-Maturin series. "The last unfinished voyage of Jack Aubrey", published in 2004 was the last of it's kind. In my humble opinion I can think of only one writer to fill the vacuum. I'm not trying to slip you an idea but I can only hope you already have something in store for us. When we read about Uhtred we feel steel and dirt, perhaps in the future you can let us taste salt en feel the wind of a brisk northwestern.

I only want to add that i really enjoy your novels and I suggest them to my friends and family. I'm looking forward to the next installment of Uhtreds tale in octobre and although i feel the end of the series is nearing, I hope we'll see him again in 2017.

Kind regards from rainy Belgium

Hi Bernard,

Stayed in Northumberland, last week, visited Alnwick, Berwick-Upon-Tweed - and Bamburgh. In the gift shop they had your entire series of the Saxon Chronicles on sale. Must admit I didn't buy any, however, as I've long since added them to my bookshelf! But it's nice to see the link (and mutual benefit) between historic site and book setting. The book covers were inspiring editions.

Hi Bernard

I have just finished reading your book Waterloo. I knew little about this battle and after reading many modern battle books, I purchased your book and couldn't put it down. I absolutely enjoyed the way it was written. In NZ we have a city called Wellington and I live in Marlborough which is next to Nelson. I guess they are named after British war heros.

Thank You

Mr. Cornwell,

I've been a long time fan of your novels and recently started re-reading the Warlord Chronicles, and I just have to say that I really admire your commitment to historical accuracy in your settings and in the mindsets of your characters. It seems like I can do a web search for just about any of the less blatantly Arthurian characters and find out that they're somewhere in the muddled region between mythical and historical figures.

I'm also a long time listener of the British History Podcast done by Jamie Jeffers. If you're into pod casts I'd highly recommend it. He provides a really accessible narrative that helps put the settings and greater narrative picture of sub Roman Britain and the Anglo-Saxon period. It's really made me appreciate some of the subtler historical bits you put in. I think there's one making a passing comment on King Offa in the Empty Throne.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is that I really appreciate your attention to detail and  how you weave it into your stories.

Please Please finish the Starbuck series, they are too good to leave unfinished. I know you worry they are similar to Sharpe but they honestly don't feel it.

Hello,

Thank you for finally pulling me into early English history via your well written/researched books on early England. Your Last Kingdom Series books are a joy to read and as such I want to speed through them. However, I force myself to read more slowly and absorb the story along with its historical aspects. My wife and I will be in England next month and, thanks to you, I have a much better grasp of how England came to be! Plus you've made my English history research so much more interesting!

Thank you, and keep writing!!!

Respectfully,

Kenneth White

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I would like to thank you for sharing your fertile imagination with me.  I have read, and re-read, many of your books.
