Medieval Bedazzle

by Tecoa T. Washington

Returning from a vacation in Britain, an attractive young physics teacher eavesdrops on a conversation between five ghastly individuals. As she hears these self-proclaimed ancient spooks discussing a remarkable Shakespearian cover-up, she is propelled into a world of furtive secrecy and immense terror. Forced to contemplate a dastardly whitewash by historians, she struggles to uncover all that was once hidden and unlock an intriguing medieval mystery. Owed to a pending threat to the lives of her and those she holds dear, she delves into the vaults of literary history and struggles to find the true essence of the late and mighty King Richard III. Convinced that the Bard has done the icon king a disservice, she sets out to prove that the much-maligned ruler was not as evil as history remembers him. Join poet-turned-author Tecoa Washington as she mixes together the modern and the medieval, stirring in a bit of Chaucer, Einstein, Homer, Milton, Ovid, and a few others for good measure. Sit back and watch as the tale comes to a boil. The end result is a delicious serving of Medieval Bedazzle. Try this thrilling dish of deception and suspense.

[Anthony Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! That was a powerful read that I was not quite expecting. Although it was written in 2009, someone insisted I read it. So I did. The cartoon characters on the novel cover made me think that maybe this would be an easy read. Yet, it was intense. I really was not expecting it and I found myself reading the novel two times just to go back and understand things that happens in later chapters.

My overall review is "Wow," you had me enthralled. I felt like I was actively participating in the adventure because I was on my computer fact checking things that were written about King Richard III.

I hope this author comes out with another book soon because I would definitely purchase a copy!

This is the best book I’ve read by a one time author. Tecoa Washington has mastered the art and craft of writing. The author's novel is very clear, concise, challenging, shocking and compelling—in other words, exactly the kind of novel to get your blood pumping and higher order thinking charged.
