Exercise: I road bike a lot in good weather. I also hike and get into nature as a means to clear my mind.

I also get inspired by reading other great authors or by watching a movie (that may spawn some visual images). Occasionally, it's just a good idea to put the writing aside for a couple of days and return to it with a fresh perspective.(less)

Cities in Divine Vengeance

During the epic of Divine Vengeance, we see characters travel throughout Languedoc in France to real locations. I thought it might be interesting for you to have a glimpse into these places, at least from the perspective of what they look like today. I’ve included some basic links, but there is ample research available on the web to get a flavor of these places. I’ve visited several, and highly re Read more of this blog post »

“By the time Johan stumbled out of the city gates, the fire had already started. All his energy was gone, like water rung from a wet rag. Was he the only one who saw Simon’s atrocity? The crusaders, the monks, the
priests...none protested. And to emphasize that thought, a chorus emerged from below, near the fire. The monks sung Ta Deum.”
D.W. Koons, Divine Vengeance

“Brothers, why are you here?” He looked
astonished, even perturbed.
“We come to help.”
“I thought the monks and priests were to be in the church, praying.”
“We pray with our feet,” answered Anseau.
“Tell us how we can help.”

“My friend. I am sorry. Part of me is joyful

D.W. Koons, Divine Vengeance

“Johan twitched like a stallion covered in flies. He scanned along the forest’s edge at the
other teams of crusaders hoisting massive ladders. Crew after crew perched at the lip of a dry moat that stretched to a distant, ominous fortress. Their bodies braced. They poised like shafts in taut bows, ready to
fly at castle walls in a scream of madness.”
