Your Questions

Good afternoon, Mr. Cornwell. First and foremost, I am a devoted fan of the Sharpe series. Your blend of character development, history and military tactics are unsurpassed as far as I am concerned in the genre in which you write. I ask with great hope are there any more Sharpe books "in the works?" Sincerely yours, Robert M Schlesinger

Dear Mr Cornwell, hope you are well, I was wondering about the Sharpe Books, as I think you mentioned previously you don't intend to go back in time in respect of the series, does this mean you will not be filling in the gap between Waterloo and Sharpe's Devil? If not, perhaps Sharpe could turn up in 1816 as part of the bombardment of Algiers? If it is still indeed yes, perhaps Sharpe could end up back in South America with Bolivar as some form of consultant? Just a thought :)

Bonjours, j'attends avec impatience la parution en version française de ''the burning land''! Vous pensez l'éditer sous peu? Je m'ennui de cette série. Merci Paul Dion

Dear Bernard In regards to the next Viking Novel will Uhtred start heading north. It seems that his quest/story etc is based in the North yet so far you have mainly kept him in the south is not time to start heading him north?? btw in this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guthred it mentions a scottish invasion defeated by Guthred (and st cuthbert) will Uhtred ever fight the scots ???

Finally you mention that your next book will be a one off you have often talked of Poitiers is it that and if so how do you make it different from Agincourt book as both battles seem very similar?? Yours sincerely Geraint P.S If youve not this book give it a go as I can reccommend it http://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Sail-Lake-Huron-Georgian/dp/1557503141/ref=pd_sim_b_38.

When can we see more Starbuck's Chronicles? Paul Doherty

Bernard- have you considered writing a novel/series about the early english colonists in Virginia?

Also the Elizabeth era, Francis Drake, spanish armada, etc. would be greatly appreciated by your fans if you are interested in that time frame of course. Best, SN

Will you please write another book about Rider Sandman? I enjoyed Gallows Thief so much. Thanks, Jan

Hello Mr. Cornwell. I'm a big fan of your books. I started to read they by chance, near 2 years ago, and now i can't stop buying and reading it ( a good thing for your wallet)! I'd like to know three things: When the 6th "saxon story" book will arrive at the libraries? Are you planning to write something about the Crusades? And will you visit Brazil in a near future?

Hello Mr Cornwell, Thank you so much for enabling me to lose myself for hours and hours in your wonderful historic books. I think between you and George McDonald Fraser's "Flashman" series I've learned more British history than any text book. I especially loved the realistic retelling of the Arthur legend in your Warlord Series. Would you have any plans to write something that would fall roughly between that era and The Saxon Stories? I'm very interested in the original tribes of Britain being pushed back to Wales, Cornwall and Scotland as the Saxons took over. Thankyou.

OBE? Does that mean you are Sir Bernard now? Also, I buy and occasionally sell your books on ebay. I have a few signed copies. I have a copy of Sharpe's Eagle that is "flat signed on the title page, but, also has an inscription, it says: "For Kay Wolff in thanks for a lovely lunch". I realise that you wrote that some thirty years ago, but thought it might recall someone you knew. I bought the book on ebay. It was one in a complete collection of your books from a doctor, female, from the U.K. She lived in California and was moving back to the U.K. and couldn't take her collection with her. Just wondering.
