'Kin' (sequel to 'Kith) is coming soon. Just checking the proof copy. Want to read the first few chapters? You can here: julierowbory.com/wp-content/… And there's still time to read 'Kith' first. #historicalfiction #writingcommunity #medieval #novel #writerscommunity

youtu.be/9ZSY549ZgqM Our colleagues heartily sing a theme song for Mark's gospel, which debuted in Nigeria along with @theMarkDrama in the last 2 weeks. Much more to come we think.
Thanks to Richard, Anna and Janneke and others for the suggestions, encouragement and singing.

Next books in the pile, both of which I’ve been wanting to read for a while. What are you reading at the moment?

Excited to get this in the post today. Ælfric of Eynsham’s writings formed the basis of much of what Brother Wilfred says in ‘Kith’. Find out more about ‘Kith’ at julierowbory.com/about-kith

Nice pile of the sequel to ‘Kith’ for testing with my book group! Thanks @Doxdirect! Found some funny typos:
‘I think a little brother would be good for you.’ (Broth!)
‘My wife is wider than I am.’ (Wiser!)
‘It was only the first day of the hat harvest.’ (Hay!)

Layover in Egypt on our way back to the UK. @dcsandbrook’s latest 10yo fan wanted her new best book to come too, and her long-suffering parents had to cart it round the sites! She wants the whole series now and fields trips for all of them.

Check out this blog post on how I created an Old English style for 'Kith' (set in 9thC England during the Viking invasion). How can a writer evoke the past while still keeping their work easy to read? julierowbory.com/sweaty-swor… #WritingCommunity #medieval #HistoricalFiction #writing

European civilization is built on ham and cheese, which allowed protein to be stored throughout the icy winters.
Without this, urban societies in most of central Europe would simply not have been possible.
This is also why we have hardback books. Here's why. 1/

Bit of a different blog post this time. Charlotte Yoder, the cover artist for 'Kith' has written a guest post on the process of producing it and why she wanted to. Check it out here: julierowbory.com/cover-art #WritingCommunity #HistoricalFiction #novel

Books are wonderful, but how about enjoying them aloud with others as people have enjoyed stories for thousands of years? Blog post on just that: julierowbory.com/sagas #WritingCommunity
