I’m deep into writing Book 2 in the Trobairitz Sleuth series of medieval murder mysteries. I’ve been researching medieval poisonings in the British Library and medieval magic via Medievalists.net. My recent post on the poisons research is on Substack:

And my latest post on France’s Splendid Centuries is about four powerful medieval women: Adela, countess of Blois; Ermengard, viscountess of Narbonne; and the 6th century Merovingian queens, Brunhild of Austrasia and Fredegund of Neustria, who are the subject of Shelley Puhak’s wonderful biography, The Dark Queens.
