At left is one reason that we've been so not here, lately. At left is the cover design for book four, Rebel King, High King of Ireland. I wish I could say that it is well on its way to being published, but it isn't. "He" is running far ahead of "her" in writing, though we have 'leventy-'leven things we've been trying to get accomplished since the last post. (I can't believe it's been a month!)
This book picks up right where its predecessor left off on June 24, 1314, with Sir James "The Black" Douglas hieing after King Edward II with such determination, it is said, that the king complained because he and his guard could not even stop to "make water" as they fled. Douglas does not relent, even though his force is less than a fourth of the size of Edward's half-thousand barded knights. Makes one wonder why the English didn't turn on the smaller Scottish force.
At what point "High King" will end is anybody's guess, but we can hardly wait to get back into the story when we've been away from it a while. We hope you feel the same way when you read it. More about the book will appear as we progress. Meanwhile, what do you think of the cover? CDHB
