Don't have anything important to say, just that I recently finished the Saxon stories(so far) and thought them great. I am a "beer-swilling Mercian", born in Derbyshire and you have inspired me to dig a little deeper into our history of those times. I saw you once on the Cape(I think in the Brewster area) many years ago. Too bad I didn't know for sure it was you so we could have had a chat. Best wishes, Eee by Gum! Gordon

Mr. Cornwell: Wow - just finished your Saxon Stories and I just can't wait for the next book. As a student of history, I appreciate your license in manipulating events -- if history is to be changed in a novel, it should be to create a fascinating tale, and that you've done. Sir, please keep good health, eat well, walk, exercise, drink red wine, use olive oil. We ALL NEED you around for a long time, to finish Uhtred's story -- and to continue pouring your gift over our imaginations. I seriously doubt that you understand what a gift you have, and how enjoyable your art is to us, your fans and readers. Thank you so much

Thought this may be of interest to you and your readers. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8160081.stm. The detailed service records of 250,000 medieval soldiers - including archers who served with Henry V at the Battle of Agincourt - have gone online. Might make further research easier for you. Better late than never. Nigel

Hi, Saw this on the BBC website and thought of you. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8160081.stm Just starting the Starbuck Chronicles, good work to be honest. Regards Richard

Mr. Cornwell I am pleased to announce to you that I have successfully weaned my mother off of her horrid Stephanie Meyer and Charlaine Harris vampire romances and turned her into what I like to call a "Cornwellian"! She began reading "A Crowning Mercy" last night, and while it doesn't hold a candle to the Sharpe or Uhtred novels, I thought you would like to hear that you have brought an end to my misery and have put her on the right path! Who knows, maybe I can turn her into a full fledged fan! If only you wrote about vampires.... I jest, I jest! Looking forward to "The Burning Land"! I have it on pre-order from the UK! Good Day! Richard Mock!

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Nothing important to say except, thank you. Finished the Saxon Stories, started the Grail Quest, and am excited about the forthcoming The Burning Land. You're the best !!!! Thank you greatly !!!!

Greetings, I know we have not heard from Starbuck for almost a decade, but I hope his extended furlough is at an end and hopefully a new book is in the works. I fondly recall reading those books while I was in college and I ended up attending law school at Washington and Lee University and anytime I needed a break I would read about Starbuck while enjoying the scenic backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I hope you will return to this series soon in the meantime I look forward to enjoying Agincourt. Alright I will beg, please return to the Starbuck series, we need closure. With Warmest Regards Steven Abbott

I just wanted to say that you are my favorite author. Your books are the reason I plan to minor in English History when I get to college. Im a HUGE history fan and its one of the few classes in my high school that I pass with ease. I just finished Agincourt and it has to be my favorite book I have ever read besides the Saxon Tales. Thank you for writing such wonderful books, Sarah Cutler

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Hello. I am a Marine serving on the East Coast of the United States, and I'm reading Sharpe's Siege. My soon-to-be father-in-law lent me the first five while I was on my second tour in Iraq, and since I returned home (safe, with the rest of my unit), I've been devouring the rest of the series, mostly on my Kindle. I'm enjoying them immensely and plan to read the rest of your works after I finish the Sharpe series. I already read Stonehenge, which I enjoyed, despite the, as we call in the US at least, downer ending. I shared the first few books with a Corporal of mine and he's also working his way through, but I haven't seen him lately (the Corps has a way of doing that). I just wanted to let you know I enjoy the series immensely, both for the characters and the history, and that it gives my future father-in-law and I something with which to break the ice. As he (and the future mother-in-law) both hold PhDs in biochemistry, a common interest is quite the lifesaver. Keep up the amazing work, and have a great day.

I loved all the Sharpe books, Azincourt, and I have just finished the Starbuck chronicles; more please, as they are excellent stories, and as someone who is interested in the American Civil War, I hope you will put poor old Starbuck through more gruelling adventures. He always struck me as the kind of person who may have found his destiny leading him to the frontier, if he survived the civil war. He's a survivor like Richard Sharpe, and unlike poor Adam .... Anyway, many thanks for your excellent books. Azincourt was also a fantastic read, yours Dave Dilliway

I have just finished reading the four books in the Starbuck Civil War series and am thirsting for at least one more. I feel deserted and literally (?) starving to see what eventually happens to Nate. Does he meet up with and gain retribution from Blithe? Many questions but no answers!!
