Can you feel my heart beat as I send you a word or two?

“Do you feel my heart that’s praying for you“?

Getting The Research Right - Using Medieval Villages and Cities as Historical/Fantasy Story Settings

...Or, How not to End Up as the Village Idiot!

The Black Knight thundered down the road. He raced passed the old abbey. Its crenellated walls thrust defiantly upward, as if daring the forces of darkness to attack it.
