Dear Mr Cornwell, I have been an avid reader of your books since I was a child, I have really enjoyed every tale you have created, like many I wish to see them on the big screen especially the Arthur books. Can you tell us if you have been approached by the big Hollywood war machine?? Personally I believe you will require independent film makers to make these stories come to life untainted with special effects and big stars who will be unable to see the visions which are created with each book. Keep up the great work I intend to bring short films inspired greatly by your books to my own art work, england will never be the same without Sharpe and his rifles!!!

Dear Mr Cornwell; I have read the Warlord chronicles cover to cover multiple times now and loved every minute of it. You may frequently get the usual “why not make this into a film/TV series?” question from various people and I’m aware that in that regard it’s out of your hands, but I do believe the WL chronicles weave a rich tapestry of characters,places and ideas that could be well adapted to a TV series format (without the element of historical re-enactment that seems to afflict many 3rd rate dramas and documentaries). Is it protocol to be approached by production companies to get permission from an author to adapt his/her work to the screen? because I reckon there’s a petition in order.
