Hi Bernard, it’s Corey here. I believe I may be one of your biggest fans (I have 38 of your novels and I’m only 19), I read Harlequin about 5/6 years ago and since then I don’t think I’ve read a single book that hasn’t been a historical novel. I was wondering a few things, A) Will there ever be another Sharpe book? Because I recently finished reading the lot and now I feel as if I knew somebody personally who has suddenly gone missing, and I need them back! B) Will there ever be a film of Harlequin? I ask because it is by far the greatest novel ever written, and put into film would be a magnificent achievement. I have fully imagined that book as a film in my mind hundreds of times and it would work exceptionally well (I’m studying TV and Video Production in Newcastle and I like to think I know about these things :D). I’ve even managed to devise that Sir William Skeat is quite literally the perfect role for Sean Bean. More Sean Bean in more Bernard Cornwell plots is what this world needs most. I truly think you are an outstanding author ,I read some books purely because they have your blessing, and they always turn out to be fantastic (I have you to thank for introducing me to Simon Scarrow’s Eagle series (“I really don’t need this kind of competition”), second only to your novels). Do you have any similar books to these to recommend? I cannot wait for The Thorn Crown, please keep writing, your novels are all masterpieces and your attention to detail and thoroughness of plot never ceases to amaze me. Cheers, Corey Lees
