So, that's the final draft of The Reckoning submitted to
Sharpe Books.
Pretty dark at times - but then the #HarryingoftheNorth will do that to a narrative.
Now to do the dreaded blurb.

Latest in an occasional series of interesting things seen while walking the dog (note: Boz’s first appearance in said series)
Not sure if it’s an otter, stoat or weasel - I just know that one’s stoatily different from the others and none is weasily identifiable #dadjokes

Uncertainty reigns re. what happened to Harold after the battle. In some sources, his 'wife' Edith Swanneck found his body (unrecognisable but for marks that only she might know). In others, his mother, Gytha, begged William for it (he refused).

#OnThisDay Duke William of Normandy lands at Pevensey with 100s of ships. Chose it due to Roman fort (Anderitum) & the wide bay.
As a kid, I had the ladybird book; it showed him tripping on the beach & saying how he had seized England in both hands #cojones

#OnThisDay 1066: Harold defeats the Norse at Stamford Bridge. They'd come in 300 ships, but went home in 24. Hardrada & brother, Tostig, both slain
The lone Viking on the bridge? A much later addition to the ASC with echoes of antiquity. Cool story though

I don't hold with using AI tools, for many reasons, but I did have a little play yday to see how it might render Agatho, the Frankish axe-wielding warrior from my Rebellion trilogy. Must say, I'm impressed. Pretty much how I imagined him.

That's it. Pens down. First draft of book 3 of the Rebellion trilogy complete. What's more, it only took until the very last sentence to fix on a title! (Moral of the story: ask one's wife! took her 1 go to nail it!). Can you tell what it is yet?
