Hi Bernard,

Hope you are well? I recently listened to sharpes assain during a work trip and found my love for him reignited after focusing on uhtred for a long period.

First of all i wanted to comment on how amazing your research is and if you knew that the historical community holds you research in high regard? I was actually allowed to reference your historical epilogue for sharpe’s honour as a source in one of my history assignments at University.

Secondly did sharpe ever tell jane the real cause of her brothers death? I know they wouldn’t whilst he was in love but did he ever let it slip subtly at some point during there estrangement?
