Patricia Cornwell and Bernard Cornwell - Patricia Cornwell (born June 9, 1956, Miami, Florida, U.S.) is an American crime writer, a descended from abolitionist and author of books like Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe. She's written over thirty books, most of them featuring the beloved Kay Scarpetta, a medical examiner based in Richmond, Virginia. Her crime stories are known for their substantial focus on forensic science, which often features heavily in the plots.
Bernard Cornwell is the most successful author of historical fiction of recent years. He is best known for his novels about the Napoleonic Wars rifleman, Richard Sharpe and has many Sharpe's novels to his credit. Cornwell had taken his mother's maiden name as his own. But his father was William Oughtred – and Oughtred means 'Son of Uhtred'. He realised that he had ancestors who had been part of the great Saxon invasion and settlement of what was to become England. His own Uhtred is pure fiction, he says.
