Dear Mr Cornwell, I have just completed reading “The Fort”. As usual I thoroughly enjoyed your writing and the historical notes that followed the novel. You mention the subsequent occupation of Castine in the war of 1812.The book was made even more captivating to me because during that second British occupation a customs post was operated and the revenue raised was used to found Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where I taught at the medical school for the past 40yrs or so. Any further word on a sequel to ‘Gallows Thief’ ? It would be a pity to let Rider,Eleanor,Berrigan and Sally fade into oblivion. Keep up the outstanding work and many thanks for what you have already given us.

Dear Mr. Cornwell,I first discovered your novels after watching the Sharpe series on television. This is the type of entertainment I thoroughly enjoy. After discovering you as the author I have now found other novels of yours and particularly have enjoyed “Azincourt” and the latest non put downable novel “Gallows Thief” (the front cover is not the same as shown on this site). Being totally immersed in the story line I found myself actually becoming Rider Sandman, can you please tell me when I can next expect to read about myself as I can’t wait to see what I get UP to!
