Sir. My name is Malcolm Robinson, and I have been a soldier for 18 years, I have been in two conflicts and want to write about soldiers, to show the human side of them. I served in Desert Storm which your fellows called Operation Granby, and Enduring Freedom, I enjoy reading your books and want to learn from the best. Also one of the things I want to do before I pass is to act in a scene with Sean Bean and the Chosen men. They were without a doubt S.A.S. before David Sterling, and why haven't you written about the Falklands? I am sure that would be an excellent series, especally about the battle for Goose Green, Sean Bean would be an Excellent H Jones with Hugh Frazier as Julian Thompson or Sir Jeremy More. I wish to learn sir, I want to write about the Army and show it in a positive light. thank you for time and courtesy. Malcolm.

Mr Cornwell, thank goodness I have found your e mail address. I have read all the Sharpe books , but now I have found out due to this web site that I have 4 more to read ( thanks). With your unique way with words I get totally immersed in the action. I was born in Bosham Sussex in 1938 and spent my childhood in Bosham harbour. Your vivid description of the mud, tides, smell, reeds, was bang on, infact looking back it's lucky some of us boys were not drowned . I am now reading your terrific Grail series , well done Mr Cornwell and thank you for countless hours of great entertainment. Barry Parker

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed Vagabond. It was fantastic as I live in Durham city, with a view of the cathedral and could picture the scene. Did you visit Durham whilst writing the book? Andrew Cowie

Mr Cornwell, Thank you for the Warlord series. I have read them over & over. Also I have the audio tapes, beautifully read & brought to life by Tim Pygot Smith. I am sure I have read about the series being filmed. Can you tell me if this is true and what is the timescale. Michael Brooks

Mr. Cornwell, I suppose I've read a few thousand books, but never felt sufficiently moved to write a note to any of their authors. The exception is C.S. Forester, who was dead before I ever started reading his books and so denied me the opportunity to thank him for creating Horatio Hornblower. In any event, I am reading the Sharpe novels now and wanted you to know that I am enjoying them in the same way I enjoyed Hornblower the first time around. A great character, wonderfully rendered. Thank you. Fred Jacobs

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I very much enjoyed your book "Gallow's Thief." I hope that you continue the characters in a series. Sincerely, B. Mayberry

My first book I read of yours was Stonehenge. Since then I have read every book, but NOT one Sharpe novel. That must be a first for a BC reader. The reason I have never started reading "Sharpe" is the fact that there are so many, and Sean Bean would be forever in my head as the lead role. Anyway, I am little bit pissed on Jack Daniels and would like to say thanks for bringing me back to reading. Rgds Wayne

Damn you, you prolific bastard! I love your books. I've read the Arthurian stuff, the Archer stuff, and about half the Sharpe stuff. I have a job and a girlfriend and I hope I can keep both and still enjoy your work. I start a Sharpe with dinner and finish it about midnight. So far Derfel is my favorite character. Please keep up the work. You do it so well. If you make it to Seattle, I'll try to come out and join the queue. thanks, Jon

You have taken me into the world of Thomas, a very likeable character if not a times naive, the two Grail Quest books I have read have made me hungry for the third. You are an outstanding storyteller. Donna Cameron
