Thanks, Debbie!

I'm writing a series on the monastic ruins of England. Each one tells a fascinating story, from a scrap of a tombstone from Blackfriars to the spectral beauty of Whitby Abbey to, most recently, Medmenham Abbey, the place of a secret society of Georgian libertines :)

The new post has links to the other parts of the series at the end: http://englishhistoryauthors.blogspot...

I have an active three-year-old blog titled "William and Mary Dyer," which is primarily about early-colonial, 17th-century Massachusetts and Rhode Island (though there's some info on England, too). The blog covers nature, cosmic events, the births of "monsters," character sketches of important people of the time, recipes, unusual laws, medical treatments, religious sects (Quakers, Puritans, Anglicans), and continuing research.

My blog Richard's Ramblings is about various subjects such as writing, and games but is based around a healthy core of historical subjects of which the focus is Anglo-Saxon England. http://news.richarddenning.co.uk/

My blog Keeping It in Canon includes historical tidbits I've come across while researching my fiction. Most have to do with ancient Greece, and I'm currently posting a series about Spartans.

Today is the anniversary of Peterloo, a peaceful protest that ended in bloodshed. While doing research for my novel An Untitled Lady, I stood on the protest grounds in 2010. Wrote a little about it for Musa's blog.

A bit of a deviation from my usual medieval posts. This one is part of a World War I centenary project I've been involved in. I never thought I'd be so intrigued by the history of the Post Office!
