Update 12 -- About Mark 
February 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
I have an audio sample! The sample isn't quite ready for prime time yet, so there'll be a bit before I have something to share, but I have heard the first 20 minutes of Chapter One, and it is amazing! There's a little tweaking that needs to be done,... (Read More)
Update 11 -- Found Caedda
February 15th - via: kickstarter.com
I suppose technically this is update 12, because I posted about my oops-I-forgot yesterday. But this follows in my visual reference series and about the books, so it's 11. Took me a few days to put a name to the British actor who inspired my mental... (Read More)
OOPS!
February 14th - via: kickstarter.com
It was pointed out to me today that I missed a reward when I made the list. Or at least, I forgot to put it in when I created the Kickstarter. Or, as my friend put it -- I've never seen a Kickstarter where the product we're funding isn't one of the... (Read More)
Update 10 -- Margaret and Douglas.
February 10th - via: kickstarter.com
First, I should lead with an apology for going quiet. It's been a hectic week, and I'm only just coming up for air. Still waiting on the 15 minute sample from Mark. Should be any day now, and I'll update you all when I hear it. Since I've been... (Read More)
Update 9 -- Olivier de Vienne
February 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
Olivier de Vienne -- one of only two members of Charles' court who has a surname. (I remembered another after I wrote about Roland. Charles' Queen is Hildegarde de Vingzau.) There's no evidence that there was ever an Olivier -- the character appears... (Read More)
Update 8 -- Meet Roland
January 31st - via: kickstarter.com
And I somehow only just now realized that Roland has no surname. Olivier is Olivier de Viennes, for example. Roland has no such name of origin or patronymic ever given, either in the single historic reference to him, or in the many, many tales told... (Read More)
Update 7 -- The Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewers Choice Awards
January 29th - via: kickstarter.com
I was going to talk about Roland today, but this just hit my inbox. The Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewers Choice Award nominees were just announced. Now, I knew about being on the list, but I'm going to admit to still being surprised. Because it's... (Read More)
Update 6 - Meet Yael Mystere
January 28th - via: kickstarter.com
I'm a discovery writer, usually, When I write, I learn about my characters, and as I do, I start building a mental image of them. That's my usual process. The Swords of Charlemagne series may be the first time I went into a series with existing... (Read More)
Update 5 - Table of Stone
January 26th - via: kickstarter.com
The last book in the series, and the one where we finally fill the holes that exist in the mind of one Yael Mystere. This is the only book in the series that has nothing from the Carolingian court, because the history we uncover in this book, and... (Read More)
Update 4 -- Ashes and Light
January 24th - via: kickstarter.com
(Took an inadvertent day off.) Book 3 of the Swords of Charlemagne is where we start to see that things almost certainly are not entirely as they seem, and it's where Margaret fully comes into her own. And it's where we see what happened in 778 AD... (Read More)
The Lady and the Sword, Book 2
January 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
The Lady and the Sword is really Douglas' book, and in parallel, it's Olivier's book. This is the book where these two incomparable mages each come into their own. It's also the book that contains my absolute favorite scene in all four books --... (Read More)
Hidden Things, Book 1
January 21st - via: kickstarter.com
Hidden Things, Book one of Swords of Charlemagne sets the stage for the rest of the series. And it starts in 772 BCE, in the court of Charles, King of the Franks. This was long before he was Holy Roman Emperor, long before he was Charlemagne. When... (Read More)
Day One -- Why Magic Swords, Liz?
January 20th - via: kickstarter.com
We're off to a nice start for the Kickstarter, but I realized last night (after someone thumped me) that I never really talked about the books. Like, at all. So, what is this series, anyway? My pitch line (when I was still trying to sell the series... (Read More)
