Something About Me and My Book:
Grace Elliot leads a double life as a veterinarian by day and author of historical romance by night. Her debut regency romance 'A Dead Man's Debt' is now available at the Amazon Kindle store and most eBook stores.
Blurb:
‘A Dead Man’s Debt’ by Grace Elliot.
Celeste Armitage has a plan…and that plan doesn’t include marriage.
After deliberately humiliating a suitor, Celeste’s despairing parents exile her to the country. But once there she discovers a sketch book of daring nude studies and is shaken to find the artist is her hostess’s eldest son, Lord Ranulf Charing. This darkly cynical lord is exactly the sort of dissipated rogue she despises most…if only her blood didn’t heat at the thought of him…
Nothing is as it seems. Lord Ranulf’s life is a façade. Only he can save the Charing’s from disgrace as a blackmailer seeks to ruin his late brother’s reputation. But just as Ranulf dares to open his heart to Celeste, the fury of his nemesis is unleashed… facing him with the stark choice between true love and family duty. However when Celeste guesses the truth behind his rejection, Ranulf underestimates her resolve to clear his name and in so doing places the woman he loves in mortal danger….

The Secrets of Marocco - the horse accused of witchcraft.





A week ago I posted about the true story of

Marocco, the 17th century, performing horse whose act was so good

that he was accused of witchcraft. At the time his feats were so exceptional

that some believed the only way they were possible was through witchcraft.

During the lifetime of his act, Marocco’s trainer, William Banks, declined to

explain how the tricks were done : - even to the point of getting Marocco to

kiss a crucifix (and prove his…

The Horse Accused of Witchcraft.

During my delvings into things historical (researching my next book, ‘Eulogy’s Secret’) this true story caught my attention and I decided to share it with you. It is the tale of a 16th century horse trainer, William Banks, and his dancing horse, Marocco – an act so good that they were accused of witchcraft!



Living in Elizabethan England, William Banks is the earliest recorded horse trainer. It seems likely that Banks started life as a retainer of the Earl of Essex, working in his… Continue

Bisset's 'Cat Orchestra' and other performing cats.

I haven’t posted about cats for a while, so to put that right here is some historical trivia about performing cats.

In the mid 18th century, Scotsman Samuel Bisset read about the success of an animal act, ‘The Thinking Horse’ and decided to have a go himself. His first foray into animal training involved a monkey who he taught to ride a pony, and dance with a dog. But Bisset astutely realised that novelty was the key to success and hit on the idea of training that least…
