, just wrote this for the back cover of Beloved Pilgrim: "Nan Hawthorne remains absolutely loyal to the known historical facts while her characters bring fresh and exotic angles to the events. Elisabeth is a self-willed young woman, trapped in a role not compatible with her feisty independence. Her struggles against difficult odds, before and during the crusade, will keep readers enthralled."And privately he called the book "gutsy", a word I can definitely live with. Why "gutsy"? two reasons.. because I deal with the character's being gay in their world and also because the crusade was an utter and ignominious disaster.
I also have a logo now for Shield-wall Books (my publisher, and I mean my,) though not a decision on the hyphen...
It is by David Graham, who also did the cover of the book... see http://www.nanhawthorne.com/ .
It won't be long now...
