Review of Vaughn Entwistle's The Revenant of Thraxton Hall in Open Letters

Okay, now I'm getting noticed by the big players. Here is an absolutely TERRIFIC review of THE REVENANT in Open Letters Monthly.

The review was written by Irma Heldman, a veteran publishing executive and book reviewer with a penchant for mysteries.

Living in Somerset

I'm still getting used to just how beautiful this part of England is. Here are some photographs from my morning stroll around the moated Bishop's Palace, built in 1340.


Note, there was no need for castle-like defenses and the water-filled moat. The Bishop's Palace was never a military edifice. As the sign on the moat wall explains, it was merely a fashion statement, and one that secured the high status of the office. Imagine trying to get the taxpayers' to foot the bill for such excess these days!

Still, we now have a lovely place to enjoy, complete with the resident family of swans who recently produced a brood of nine cygnets.


Ah, I love Wells!

More and more great reviews of the Revenant of Thraxton Hall!

Talk about firing on all cylinders!

Don't Make Me Get Medieval . . .

Wells continues to amaze me. Took the dog for a walk there yesterday. As always, I had to swing by the Cathedral Close to gaze upon the gorgeous twelfth century cathedral. 

I stepped through Beggar's Gate and thought for a moment I had fallen through a rift in the space/time continuum as I was confronted by dozens of people dressed in medieval costume. 

It turned out that a film crew was shooting scenes for the pilot episode of an American TV show called "Galavant." From what I've been able to find on Google, it looks like Princess Bride meets Glee. Should be fun.
