I have resubmitted a completely rewritten, revised and more focused article for academic publication after 3 weeks of dedicated effort. So I finally find my days off free to play games over on Twitch (uploaded later to YouTube). Help me decide which one to play this Thursday morning!

The book has arrived and thus I can begin taking a deep dive into the historical fact behind the drama of King & Conqueror - as I prep for a special bonus episode with the author, Sharon Bennett Connolly.
And yes, this the only neutral way I am going to connecting with King & Conqeror series.
