Hello world,
I just arrived here.
I'm a writer of historical fiction, mystery, & romance, and I live in France.
I'm also a promoter of historical fiction books with The Coffee Pot Book Club.
Looking forward to finding my way round, and meeting other folk interested in #HistoricalFiction, #MedievalHistory & #ScottishIndependence ...
Devil's Historians: How Modern Extremists Abuse the Medieval Past
Myths about the medieval world have been used for centuries to justify some of the most toxic ideologies and the worst human rights abuses in history. In this book, Amy S. Kaufman and Paul B.

Manuscript Portal Brings Medieval Manuscripts from Greifswald Online
104 manuscript volumes from the Greifswald Ministry of Spirituality and 55 volumes from the holdings of the Greifswald University Library were digitized. In total, this resulted in 83,375 image files with 72,293 pages. Together with previously digitized works, 165 manuscripts stored in Greifswald are now available via the M-V Digital Library and the manuscript portal.
