Click on the 'Free Books' tab below. Friday, October 1, 2010. Or more to the point, who am I referring to? Of whom is Saladin speaking in this passage from Chapter 8 of The Swords of Faith. A novel about the Third Crusade by Richard Warren Field? September 19, 1187. The Road from Ascalon to Jerusalem. 8220;He is asking my permission to violate his oath,” Saladin said.

Lucy Ann White: January 2012
http://lucyannwrites.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
My first novel, A Little Blue Jacket, came out in small format paperback in May 2007. So what's next? I've got the idea, started the research but what form should it take? Still working on this one: as I grapple with structure, narrative and style perhaps I can ask your advice. And it's a solitary business this writing: please keep me company as I scribble about books and art, ruminate about the countryside and enjoy the garden through my window - I should like to have you along.

Two Heads . . .: October 2014

Two Heads . . . Tuesday, 21 October 2014. Phidias' workshop - using real places in fiction. Last year in the summer, I prepared part of this posting. I didn't finish it because I have been looking for a particular reference (see second to last paragraph). As you can see, I had a wonderful trip in 2013. A mixture of holiday . Part of the research was another visit to. Ancient Olympia. I went to have another look at Phidias' Workshop. I took liberties with its design in The Boy with Two Heads. No one seeme...

Click on the 'Free Books' tab below. Saturday, August 28, 2010. This excerpt is from The Demon's Parchment. Charing Cross stood rigid in the icy cold of the crossroads. Its cross and steps were snowcapped and solemn. Jack’s admonishment kept preying on Crispin’s mind: You’re taking money from a Jew? Was he that desperate? And where the women? He glanced down at his own seedy coat and the sturdy cloak that hid its shabby appearance from view. Yes, that was a long time ago. Flurries arrived with the waning...

http://kneadtowrite.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Two Heads . . . Sunday, 8 February 2015. No triremes on the Solway. These days I'm rather boring to other people. My daily routine is: write and research in the morning, walk in the afternoon, do domestic stuff in the evening. Even my research isn't exciting on its own, though lately I've been learning a lot about Ancient Greek warships called triremes, which could be of interest to some (see below). On the way down to the beach and a milky-looking sea . I found snowdrops right beside the road. Even the ...

Two Heads . . . Thursday, 20 February 2014. Those Ancient Greeks follow me everywhere! Reproduction in the Royal Ontario Museum. Of Phidias' statue of Athena,. Finished 438 BC for inside the Parthenon in Athens. Not long ago, I was in Toronto, Canada, spending holiday time with family. They had asked me to stop thinking about writing for a few days, as we don't see each other very often. 'No problem,' I said. 'No writing.'. We decided to go to the Royal Ontario Museum. Y, and look who I found! One court ...
