Kalliope Ormond is on page 157 of 504 of The Canterbury Tales

The Man of Law's Tale: the change in poetry is interesting, but otherwise I found this a very preachy and confusing story (and rather boring, too).

Kalliope Ormond is on page 137 of 504 of The Canterbury Tales

The Miller's Tale: the act of kissing bottoms is far too coarse for me to find it amusing

The Reeve's Tale: how to get your own back on someone who's offended you by telling a vulgar story

The Cook's Tale: too short to make much comment, but at least it starts cheerfully enough.

Kalliope Ormond is on page 87 of 504 of The Canterbury Tales

The Knight's tale is funny for a couple of reasons:

1. It shows the ridiculousness of lovelorn men who think that they are being romantic

2. The storyteller says that he will be quick in telling his tale many a time, yet can't resist loooong descriptions and boring speeches

3. Palamon is a 'fierce lion', yet at the end Theseus tells Emily that he is 'gentle'. Hmph. We have yet to see evidence of that.

Have a look behind the scenes into the writing of /Edges and Other Hard Things by Lauren Thell and find out which character you most resemble!

'Remember remember,
the fifth of November,
gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.'

Happy Guy Fawkes Night!!

For goodness sake. The writing is far too modern for this period.

Humming Delibes' Lakme (Duo des fleurs) while going for a walk in the rain is such a vibe.

Kalliope Ormond is on page 59 of 447 of The Conqueror's Queen (Queens of Conquest, #3)

'He was sat on a grand throne...'

Please, oh please, do not say that!!! There is nothing so teeth-grinding as to use incorrect grammar when in comes to that word.

Use 'he was sitting on a grand throne' or 'he sat on a grand throne' instead.

And have a chat to your editor about correct grammar too, while you're at it.
