Today's bon bon: Sean Beane portrayed a soldier in the 95th Rifles in Sharpe's Wars. My hero is a friend of his!

Not really. But it's fun to link up the real with the unreal.

My hero, Stafford (Ford) Barlow in HARVEST MOON BOX SET is a Colonel in the 95th Rifles during the Napoleonic Wars and he's home now, after Waterloo, hoping for peace...and love...and marriage.

I envision this midnight-haired, silver-eyes hero as this guy.

And his uniforms, all green to distinguish the 95th sharpshooters from other soldiers, is this!

Dashing eh?

Sharp-shooters of the 95th were in almost every battle of the Peninsular Wars and were at Quatre Bras and Waterloo. The unit survives to this day and they are renowned for their ability to shoot accurately at long distances from their targets!

HARVEST MOON debuts soon and here is the cover and buy link! Enjoy!
