Dear Bernard, I hope you’re having a top-notch new year thus far. I am a big fan of your Grail Quest trilogy, and have been absolutely enthralled by the first three books in the series. Needless to say, I was very excited to hear that you plan to continue Thomas of Hookton’s story with another novel. My question, then, is if you have a tentative publication time frame in mind, or if all is still up in the air. Thank you for your time, Paul Holcomb

Mr. Cornwell, I just finished reading Death of Kings and found it very enjoyable. The problem is this; it wasn’t 1,000 pages of reading bliss! HA! Sorry for that comment because I am very sure you put 100% of your heart and soul into writing it but, I just cannot read enough of your books. When I read about the future release of Death of Kings, I reread all the other books in The Saxon Tales to refresh my memory with what the characters were doing. So there will be a new Thomas Hookton book? Any idea on the time frame as to when that book will be published? I don’t want to start rereading those too soon. I haven’t read more than a couple of The Sharpe books so I think I will have to pick those up and get started. Thank you for what you do and for bring to life such a variety of characters. Sincerely, Gregory H. Lillich
