Hello. My Name is Chris Shaw. I am a systems analyst living in Niagra Falls Canada. I first saw Sharpe on our local Public Broadcast station. I found it very interesting and very entertaining. When I was young I shared a keen interest in history with my father who was a history teacher and in 45 Royal Marine Commando in World War II. I have read several of the Sharpe’s and seen it whenever it was on TV. I only mentioned it in passing to several people at work, who also told me they enjoyed watching it. There are at least half a dozen people who have watched or read the books and enjoyed them also. I would just like to thank you for your work and hope to enjoy more. I have just bought The Last Kingdom. I live in Canada but was born in Newcastle. So seeing Lindisfarne and other Northumbrian names is a bit of a thrill (maybe I need to get out more). One day I hope to meet you and at least extend my gratitude to you personally. Yours truly. Chris Shaw
