Your Questions

I hope you are having a great day,

 

Ive been a fan of your Sharpe series since I was a child, and I was wondering if you have ever given any thought to working with a game development to create an adaptation of some of the books? In my humble opinion working with a Development company such as Warhorse studios for instance which has gained significant acclaim with their narrative Role Play Game series Kingdom Come Deliverance would be a match made in heaven.

 

Thank you for your time,

Douglas Coley

Mr. Cornwell,

You've written some of the best historical fiction I've ever read. I just wanted to thank you for your brilliance in bringing these fascinating worlds to LIFE!!!

 

Thank your Sir,

Gary Bergamo

 

P.S.- who would win in the square, Ughtred or Derfel?

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I am a big fan of yours and your work. I have read practically everything you have written, but my favorite series continues to be The Worlord Chronicles, which I have read several times. I recently started reading The Camulod Chronicles. Have you read these books? What is your opinion of Jack White?

While I am at it, do you have any plans to start a new series, something completely new?

I am very grateful for your time and especially for all your wonderful work.

Sincerely,

Ricardo from Brazil

Hello, Mr Cornwell.

I’m a long time fan.

I used to read tour books as a teen, and now I watch the series as a mom with my son (he can’t read yet, but he will for sure, and he’ll read your books when he’s old enough), and also a long time asker of questions, if that’s event a word it’s been a while since I’ve written and I forgot where I should submit the questions, so I’m sorry if it’s not here.

I’d just like to say that Arthur’s tv series is amazing, as usual, it’s always a pleasure to admire your work. May I ask if we’ll have a second season?

Best regards from a Brazilian fan!

Hi Bernard,

 

Do you have any plans to revisit Thomas of Hookton or Nicolas Hook?

Just curious what new projects you are working on?  What should I be on the lookout to be released in the near future?

Mr. Cornwell,

 

You have become my favorite author, and I absolutely love how you develop action sequences. It’s truly remarkable and you provide such good plotlines and characters. I’ve read (really listened to most - thank you for picking good narrators) nearly all of your books now, several multiple times. I’ll get there soon. My favorite character you’ve developed has to be Finan, and I was wondering if you’ve ever considered writing his backstory in Ireland? If not, I’ll be more than happy that you dedicated a storyline to his revenge. Thank you for providing me countless hours of entertainment.

 

Sincerely,

John

Hi Bernard,

I can honestly say that The Fort is my favourite book of all time and I never tire of reading it. the mix of indecision on the American part and the slow methodical preparation by the canny Scotsman Francis McLean and the introduction of John Moore is simply brilliant. I live in Bodmin and the town has a memorial to Sir John Moore and I was wondering if you are going to further his career in another of your books. thank you for such a good read.

Kind regards Francis

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

 

Please can you translate for me the prayer that Father Pyrlig says in one of the old Celtic languages: "Ein tad, yr hwn wyt yn y nefoedd, sancteidder dy enw."  This is in your book The Pale Horseman. I have no idea how any of it would be pronounced either and I'd love to know that as well. Due to the preponderance of y's I assume it might be Old Welsh?

 

I am fascinated with old languages and history both, and would love to learn both Old English and Old Welsh, if that is still possible. Like many of us in America, during the Covid pandemic we searched for things to do that avoided contact with people, and many of us had our DNA researched during that time. My results were 47.5% Celtic (although whether Irish, Welsh, or Scottish, they did not say) and 45.5% English as well as 3% Finnish. I was surprised by the Finnish as my family have never mentioned anyone Finnish. Of course, to be English is to be a mixture, so perhaps there were Finnish Vikings as well as the Norse and Danish ones?

 

Thank you for your fascinating glimpses of history and language! I'm enjoying your books.
