On cleaing, tidying and being remaindered
My virtue, let me show it to you. It's amazing how much I will do to avoid writing. I ahve much clean laundry, I have very shiny clean bathrooms and I have reorganised the bookshelves over my desk. The piles of books in current research rotation are now on the shelves and my desk is lovely and clear. I may have to write something at it now, I suppose.
In other news, The History Press, the purchasers of my former non-fiction publisher Tempus have decided (after two years of chaos and no attempt to sell as far as I can tell) to remainder The Four Musketeers: the true story of d'Artagnan, Porthos, Aramis and Athos, by myself and the marquis (Kari Maund and Phil Nanson). So if you want a copy, order now as it will shortly be unavailable (the marquis and I will have copies to sell on in future, but it would be nice to show THP that we in fact wrote a rather good book that people ). It's my favourite of my non-fiction and was great fun to research and write. It's a good book, I think and it has excellent illustrations. I'm not sure I am quite capable of recommending my own stuff, but if you like musketeers or 17th century France, this is one is interesting, I think.
Meanwhile, my shoulders hurt. I blame Bookworm. I must stop playing the blasted thing.
