    Investigating Forged Documents in the Fifteenth Century – A Scrivener’s Tale

    March 20, 2021 / No Comments

    By Toni Mount My amateur sleuth, Seb Foxley, being trained as a scribe and having a keen eye, has a knack for spotting forged documents in fifteenth-century London. In The Colour of Evil, Seb is called upon to check out some suspect documents for the Bishop of London. This is a side issue to add to our hero’s burden of things he must do but such things really did go on in medieval times.

    An Interview with Tovi, Son of Wulfhere

    March 1, 2021 / 1 Comment

    I know you’re quite busy at the moment, Tovi, so I really appreciate the fact that you’ve stopped by for a visit. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you in your first two books. In fact, you’ve become one of my favorite characters. But I’m suspecting a lot of people reading this interview right now won’t have read the books so won’t know who you are. I’d like to ask you a few questions to get to know you, if that’s alright? Gódne dæg, Stephanie. Thank you for letting me come and tell you and your readers about my world. First tell me about where you live. What your village…
