Your Questions

Hello Sir,

 

I have been a great fan of your work since 2012 when I was introduced to your work with The Archers Tale as a freshman in high school. After buzzing through the grill quest series, I was fascinated with your work and began to read. What is now been the most inspirational work I have ever read The Last Kingdom, and the Saxon Series. Uhtred was a perfectly flawed individual trying to make his way through life as an honorable man. Finnan is my favorite character in any fictional universe as he is the truest second in command, loyal to a fault, family man.

 

A question I would ask you is if you have any plans for future adventures in the Middle Ages and if so, would you be able to release any details as far as timeline of release and general overview?

 

Thank your for your time, and God be with you.

Hi, Bernard -

so looking forward to the publication of Sharpe's Storm later this year! However, where does this novel slot in to the series, please? Before Waterloo for sure but I just can't work out where it will come. I, therefore, thought it best to go straight to you....

Regards, Alan

 

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I note on the Harper Collins website that a new book "Sharpe's Storm" is scheduled for release later this year. Can you please advise where this book will sit in the chronological order of events. Looking forward to its release.

Thank you

I notice there is a new Sharpe book coming out in the U.S. in December 2024 called Sharpe’s Storm. Would you please tell me where it will fit in the chronology?  I plan on re-reading the Sharpe books in order (I have them all) and would like to accommodate your latest book in my plans.

Hi Bernard,

 

Upon listening to the Grail Quest, was there a  reason why Jeanette Chenier was dropped at Thomas' love interest and she did not appear after book 2? I feel like their relationship was ready to continue for exploration. The next we heard she had perished.

Hello Bernard Cornwell,

I was wondering if you will write anything about Billy the Kid or something from that time period (the Wild West)?

Cheers

Oliver

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed all your books - they all bring the period alive in delightful ways! Is there any new period you're thinking of covering, one which hasn't yet been covered in your books? And even if that's not in the plans right now, what period would you choose to write about if you were able?

Hello,

 

I've read all of your books, thank you for many hours of grand adventures!

 

I seem to recall reading about a tour of the UK that included the places you write about in The Last Kingdom.

 

Are there any plans to have such a tour in the future?

 

Thanks!

Dear Bernard

I know in the past you've been asked by people on the French and Indian War but what's less well know is the British Force sent to fight under Frederick the Greats Brother in law Ferdinand and the Brilliant victory at Minden . Are you tempted ?

Hi Mr Cornwell,

I’m really enjoying your books. Currently I’m working my way through the Sharpe books. I have them all on kindle except Sharpe’s Skirmish, which isn’t available in that format. Could you please release it, so that I can complete my collection? Could I suggest that you could either release it alone, or bundle it with the other two Sharpe short stories.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

After Trafalgar, what happed to Grace?

Hello,

As Sharpe was intimate with Lady Farthingdale/Josefina Lacosta, did they ever have any children or was or could there be a possibility of Sharpe fighting alongside his child/children in future books or at the very least meeting them later in his life? I enjoyed the series with Sean Bean and am currently rewatching it. It's ironic some filming was done in the Ukraine/Crimea with the current situation.

Thank you for reading this email!

Regards,

Brian Burton
