First Letter Dear Journal, Spring—le printemps, I mean to say—is here, and what I have feared has come to pass. The snow has melted, at least in most places; the hot springs are once again readily accessible; the plants are starting to grow; the village green will soon be green instead of muddy brown; and … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Hardening Cookware (6 Avril 34AF)

Very Truly Run After
At long last, I am proud and pleased to note that Very Truly Run After, the second novel in my "Travels with Michael" series, is now available at Amazon (and anywhere else you'd care to plug in the ISBN). And if you've not read its predecessor, Vikings at Dino's, it's now available at reduced price. … Continue reading Very Truly Run After
Letters from Armorica- Prototype (18 Mars 34AF)
First Letter Dear Journal, I've done it! I've built a sky-boat big enough to carry a single person with full control. It is an odd design, mind you, and I may call it a sky-boat only by courtesy; it looks more like a cross between a sedan chair and a four-poster bed. It is not … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Prototype (18 Mars 34AF)
Letters from Armorica- Working Model (27 Fevrier 34AF)
First Letter Dear journal, After many, many trials, I now have a functioning working model of a sky-boat. It has taken longer than I hoped; the details in my grimoire are far sketchier than I had realized. All of the needed techniques are described adequately, but fitting them all together in one device is tricky. … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Working Model (27 Fevrier 34AF)
Letters from Armorica- Lunch with the Frontenacs (5 Fevrier 34AF)
First Letter Dear Journal, Today was a surprise. Now that I live with Amelie in the village, Onc' Herbert has of course needed to send others to the village in the cart to get supplies—in the sleigh, rather, at this time of year. And today he sent Marc and Elise. It was a fine winter … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Lunch with the Frontenacs (5 Fevrier 34AF)
Letters from Armorica- M. Fabré Passes (15 Janvier 34AF)
First Letter Dear Journal, Amelie's father has passed. He died in the night, in his bed, with Amelie by his side. It was not a surprise, not for any of us. He had been growing weaker by the day, and for the past week I have had to carry him to his seat by the … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- M. Fabré Passes (15 Janvier 34AF)
Letters from Armorica- Experiments (5 Janvier 34AF)
First Letter Dear Journal, It has been a busy and mostly delightful month, learning how to be a proper husband to Amelie, and how to prepare for an Armorican winter; and now the snows have come and stayed, and the deep cold has set in. It is unlike anything I have ever seen. It snows … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Experiments (5 Janvier 34AF)
Letters from Armorica- The Wedding (9 Decembre 33AF)
First Letter Dear Journal, And so it has happened, though it has taken awhile for me to find time to write about it. It began nine days ago, when the first great storm of the season came blowing through Bois-de-Bas. It came in the afternoon, just as I was finishing my reading lesson with Amelie, … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- The Wedding (9 Decembre 33AF)
Letters from Armorica- Le Maréchal Declares War (24 Novembre 33AF)
First Letter Dear Journal, I received a letter from Madame Truc today. She wrote me the most dreadful news from Mont-Havre, and enclosed a letter from M. Suprenant. It seems that the new Maréchal of Provençe has gone beyond posturing and has invaded Andaluse; it is said that his sky-ships bombarded the capital of Malague … Continue reading Letters from Armorica- Le Maréchal Declares War (24 Novembre 33AF)

If you already have a copy, the content is unchanged; and if you … Continue reading Vikings at Dino’s!
