Hello Mr.Cornwell, I have been a fan of yours ever since I picked up an old well-read copy of Sharpe’s Eagle. I’ve now read all your books and look foward to each forthcoming release. I’m hoping the next Sharpe novel is the Vimiero-Rolica campaign as it is a missing chapter that I look foward to enjoying as I read the whole series again from scratch. From my own understanding Albuera and Barossa could also fit into Sharpe’s timeline. Also,whilst not trying to give you ideas for a novel, and enjoying the novels of Scarrow and Wilcox, a historical-novel set during the New Zealand wars of the 1860’s would seem a winner to me. Especially since it had exotic mercenaries leading irregular units like Von Tempskys forest rangers. An ideal command for Patrick Lassan,maybe? Thanx for your time.

I just wanted to drop a line to say thank you, as a loyal Bernard Cornwell fan especially the Sharpe series I have to congratulate you. Unusually compared to many ‘action/adventure’ writers your books are not only good to read but inspiring as well. I literally knew nothing about the peninsular war before reading them and yet now I could probably claim to be quite knowledgeable on the subject. That is entirely your fault you realise as Sharpe totally inspired me to read some of the many other books on the subject. The big question of course is where to set the next one? My suggestion would be Albuera, I’ll leave it up to you how Sharpe and Harper could get some 200km south of Fuentes de Oñoro in 10 days to be on time but if you could do it it would be great. Albuera was such a violent, moody and yet still such a dramatic battle that it’s a shame Sharpes not been there before& Andy Hunt
