Greetings,

I understand that your Richard Sharpe character was named for Richard Sharp the rugby player, however, in my reading I came upon a Richard Sharpe who was an actor in the time of Shakespeare.  I am about 99% certain you’ve heard of him, owing to your extensive reading, but on the odd chance you haven’t I thought I would pass it along.  I’ve yet to read “Fools and Mortals” although I did purchase a copy, so it’s in my reading queue.  If Richard Sharpe the actor turns out to be a character in that book I am going to feel very foolish.
