My first short story, The Knight Of Ivy, is now available on Kindle. I was hoping to give it away for free but that’s not possible on Amazon, and adding it to Kindle Unlimited for free would mean not being able to distribute it anywhere else digitally, including on this very site. As such I’ve…
All the lords north of the Humber had been requested by the King to send soldiers to New Castle to help fend off bandits coming over the border. The Scottish crown denied it, but everyone knew these ‘bandits’ were really highly trained soldiers, probably sent to weaken the northern English forces, ready for another, larger,…
Sir Denys had heard many stories of the Ryngwoode in his life, mainly ones his nursemaid told him as a child to scare him away from the place. None had spirits with hollow eyes that bled black. And he certainly didn’t believe they were demons. “A rival gang of bandits maybe? Many take refuge in…
