Out of my non-fiction #books and my #novels, my latest Seb Foxley adventure is my most popular book on Amazon today - have you got your copy of The Colour of Sin?
Come with Seb and his friends as they join a group of pilgrims on what should be an uplifting journey to Canterbury Cathedral.

Did you know, Noah's wife isn't named in the bible but in medieval times when bible stories were retold as mystery plays the story of the flood would include her - a buxom woman, who liked to party but played by a man, dressed as a woman, Mrs Noah was the original pantomime dame

My talk this evening went well, it was on Medieval Christmas and I had my medieval books there to sell, but then someone wanted to buy this instead (of course I had none with me)

On the 5 Jan 1300, the Mayor of London’s court heard the case of William, the rector of the Church of St Margaret Lothbury. William had imported a barrel containing four β€˜putrid wolves’ which he claimed to be a treatment for le lou or the β€˜wolf disease’ – from which he was suffering, so he said. 1/2
