The only location I have written about in my novel so far that is still standing more or less as it was at the time, the Temple of Hercules in Rome.

I nearly published a #HistFict about the Mayflower, but it went to another publisher in the end. It was blooming good. Written by a descendant of two of the passengers/crew who married in the new colony.

Today the curtain rises on my adult #histfict debut: THE PLAYERS ACT 1: ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE.
These broken but beautiful players have been with me a long time. I've walked beside them, listened to their pain, chuckled at their antics and despaired at their decisions for many years now.

4.5/5⭐ I picked this up before going to Ireland & am so glad I did. It lent a breadth & scope to a portion of my trip that would have lacked otherwise. You can tell the author highly respects the history of the area & people he writes about

This feat supposedly had a testing stone. In Fotharta Mag Fea, there is a graveyard called Leamaneh. Nearby were the quarried remains of a large standing stone. The word Leamaneh represents the Irish Leim an eich, i.e., The Horse Leap.

Waiting for book cover art from my publisher. So anxious! Cover art can make or break a novel. Do you agree?

"Horsemen rode without stirrups : and every man was trained to spring from the ground by an ech-leim or ' steed-leap ' on to the back of his horse. This ready method of mounting continued to the beginning of the seventeenth century in both Ireland and Scotland"...
