I'm a retired professor of medieval literature. In my retirement, I've been writing fiction, namely the Matthew Cordwainer and the Gavin Rownt Medieval Mysteries. Both of the series are available as ebooks on Amazon. Hoping to find a community of writers.
If you like mysteries and you like the Middle Ages, my medieval mysteries are for you! Check out the Matthew Cordwainer Medieval Mysteries and the Gavin Rownt Medieval Mysteries. Ebooks on Amazon.

The image shows two people atop one house point behind a third person atop another house who is holding a hammer. The background to the image is gold leaf, and the houses are small, appearing as if the people are too small for them to do anything but stand upright in them. Reference: Vidal Mayor, Ms. Ludwig XIV 6 (83.MQ.165), fol. 153v (1297-1305).
Women played an important role in policing 13th-century England. Women couldn't be in frankpledge or sit on juries, but they were still required to raise the hue & cry, they chased criminals when need be, and were required to attend trials when they witnessed crime or discovered bodies. 🧵1/5

Tomorrow we're supposed to start a week-long boycott of Amazon. If everyone does that, my monthly income will be cut by a 1/4. I can deal with that if it helps teach the billionaires a lesson.
But if you want to buy one of my medieval mysteries, do it today, okay?

If you've been thinking about buying one of my medieval mysteries, do it today! They are only available as ebooks from Amazon because of reasons.
Remember not to buy anything tomorrow. I'm willing to sell nothing for a day. But it would be nice if you would buy one now.

It needs to be plastered every place that people look as they go about their day IRL. That takes hours of work. I did it in the anti-war movement. It needs to be done now.
