Hello sir.

I would like to start off by saying that I have been an avid follower of your work since Sharpe’s Rifles first aired on U.S. PBS here in Canada. I have  read all the Sharpe’s  books, Grail quest, Arthur and of course your Saxon stories. I must say I love them all, but especially love the Uhtred and am anticipating the release of the Last Kingdom here in Canada. I have two questions; What happened to Steapa, I do not remember him being mentioned in The Pagan Lord or The Empty Throne; And will Brida play a part when Uhtred comes north with Aethelstan? Thank you for your indulgence.
