Your Questions

Hi Have you ever considered doing any stories on Patrick Lassan? Nick Salisbury

Hey, I heard about the death of Hakeswill and how you regretted killing him off. One way to bring him back is that the ammo that was used was sabotaged by a friend of Hakeswill before the firing squad, so that the ammo would wound him at worst. (If he got shot in the eye, then he wears a patch) Or maybe it disfigures his face so no one knows it's him. Just a thought, curious as to what you think of it.

Also, I'm writing a World War 1 short series for a video game and I dedicated one of my characters "Sean Sharpe" (They will act in no way similar to your Richard Sharpe, just have somewhat common last name, and the Sean is for Sean Bean) Is that alright or would you rather I lose the name? Cheers!

My children gave me the full set of the Sharpe books for my birthday in September and I have just finished Waterloo. I am almost reluctant to start the final book as I do not want the experience to end, although my wife is describing herself as a "Sharpe Widow". Are you planning any further Sharpe books in the near future? It would be good to see Sharpe and Sweet William reunited one day. Richard Tyler

Hi Mr. Cornwell. Isn't about time that you gave us a hint of the plot of Uhtred #5? And how about a tentative title? Alan Kempner

Hello! I was wondering if captain Morris evaded Sharpe's revenge by transferring to the marines and serving on a certain HMS Sutherland? I re-read the Saxon tales recently and wondered why wyrd bid ful aread is pretty much spelt differently in all of them? If you ever need a plucky cornish soldier in one of your books then feel free to use Trethowan! Heard a good one the other day. What do you call one hundred thousand Frenchmen with their arms in the air? The army. James Trethowan.

Hi Bernard, I would just like to ask if you have ever published any books under another name as I am currently reading one that sure feels like one of yours and has a few similarities to Gallows Thief. It is called Ratcatcher by James McGee and I would certainly recommend it.
Richard Blackwell

Hello Mr. Cornwell, I am a huge fan and am very much looking forward to the continuation of Uhtred's story. Is there a time frame for the next book?
Andrew Abbott

When can we expect the next (final?) of the Saxon series? Thank you.

Curtis Howell

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I just finished your Saxon Stories a little while back, and have been wondering since then when you will have a fifth book out in the series, I just can't wait to read more about Uhtred's adventures! Thanks for your time. :)

Pearce Lutz

Lee Foreman

Just wondered what book you are working on at the moment?

Russ Whitehouse

I've enjoyed everything I've read so far. In the past year, since I discovered you, I've read the Grail Quest, Saxon Stores, and the "first" dozen Sharpe novels (chronologically). Currently have Agincourt and Stonehenge to work through. (I prefer the cover to the UK edition to the US one--much better.) Anyway, I don't see an update of what you have in the works now, and was curious. Thanks, Todd

Are you through with the Saxon Tales???? Seems like the story wasn't finished, I would love to read another, when they take Bebbenburg.

Emily Smedley

Mr. Cornwell, I must begin by thanking you for the many wonderful hours of enjoyment your books and characters have given me. After I finished the Sharp series, I felt as if some of my best friends had left me. The same with Derfel and Thomas. Most of my day is spent in a vehicle, driving from job to job, and I have enjoyed most of your books as recorded books. I was curious if you have any say in who narrates your books, and if you listen to any of the recordings. Are the pronunciations and accents to your liking?

Have you ever thought of narrating your books as a "read by the author"? Then we could see how you as the author would portray the characters and their interactions. Once again, thank you for your books, they have truly enriched my life, and I look forward to further adventures.

Hello, First of all Azincourt was a fantastic read, and although I`m a huge Sharpe fan I must say Azincourt kept me gripped from page 1 and I`ve strongly recommended it to my friends. Secondly, is there any chance of visiting Bath in the near future? I came to see you at Waterstones in 2005 I think it was and we are starting to miss you. Best wishes and keep up the good work. Ben .

Could you please tell me if you have any plans to visit the north west (uk) ie Manchester for any talks or book signings in the near future. Many thanks Robin

Dear Mr. Cornwell; Thanks so much for your writings. My personal favorites are the Grail Quest series, the Saxon Stories and your most recent Azincourt. Will you be coming out with any more "long bow" characters and novels? Kindest Regards, David Hawkyard
