Come journey with me as I whisk you away to 13th century Scotland for a Midwinter’s feast. We shall arrive at Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness.

Medieval Monday Update

Sadly, we had to delay the start of Medieval Monday until February 4th. However, I'm going to continue with a medieval theme on Mondays on my blog. As many of you know, I'm a visual person. I've been known to snatch up a book just by its stunning cover. The same can be said with medieval paintings. The walls of my home are graced with many, especially around my writing desk. I become mesmerized by the colors, faces, or the tiniest detail in the painting. My mind observes and then spins a tale...

Why not Regency, Victorian, or Western?” In truth, I love them all, but my heart belongs to one. It started when my fingers opened a book about the great Irish King, Brian Boru (941-1014 A.D.). His story is legendary, especially with the p...
