The Traitor Son Cycle is the Perfect Hair of the Dog for your Game of Thrones Hangover

May 21, 2019 by Christian 3 Comments

“…you should pick up The Traitor Son Cycle by Miles Cameron. It has all of the dragons and knightly battles and magic and sprawling cast of characters and epic stakes and deep historical roots of Game of Thrones. In fact, it exceeds Game of Thrones on almost all of those measures.”

A Newcomers Road to Plataea

May 14, 2019 by Christian 1 Comment

By Aristotle Koskinas (NB Aristotle is a scholar, archaeologist, and professional guide in Greece.  He joined us to provide language support at Marathon 2015. He has led us on a battlefield walk at Plataea (about 15 of us) and he’s otherwise brand new to reenacting.  I thought, based on some feedback I’ve received, that some […]

Facebook Live: New Achilles and Plataea 2021

May 2, 2019 by Christian 1 Comment

Today I went live to talk about my new book New Achilles and also the re-enactment of Plataea in 2021.

We talk a lot about reenactment, the challenges of writing The New Achilles, and I even drop some news on the next two William Gold books.

The Road to Plataea 2021 — The Cavalry Commander Speaks

April 24, 2019 by Christian 1 Comment

Running to Plataea — The Road to Plataea Part 2

April 13, 2019 by Christian 1 Comment

Those aren’t just hoplites in that image; those are runners, taking part in the Ancient Greek sport of running in armour. The last two big reenactments we’ve held in Greece, we’ve actually run the race in armour; sacred games to the memory of the dead of Marathon (and Plataea) were part of the religious practice, […]

The Road to Plataea 2021– Part 1

March 29, 2019 by Christian 1 Comment

In July of 2021 at Plataea in Greece, some dedicated reenactors will attempt to portray the cultures of Ancient Greece and Persia, and some aspects of the battle that changed the world. The photo above was taken at Plataea in 2014; that’s  me in hoplite panoply, with Chris Verwijmeren of Holland as an archer, Jevon […]

Writing Fantasy: Baskets and Broadswords

August 22, 2018 by Christian 3 Comments

When people ask me about the impact of reenacting on my books, they almost inevitably follow up with a question about swords and armour.  They’re often great questions, and I’m always happy to answer them; I’ve taken a pretty deep dive into a couple of periods and I think I have developed some interesting ‘general […]

No Writer is an Island

August 9, 2018 by Christian 3 Comments

Cold Iron is the first book in a new series.  New series, new world, and one that is, I hope, totally original.  I admit that I was itching to write The Red Knight when I started Fantasy in 2011, and I might return to Alba again eventually; I certainly planned a prequel about how Gabriel […]

On Camino

June 11, 2018 by Christian 4 Comments

Life is really not all about swords, despite what you may think from my other blogs.  This spring, with the support and companionship of friends and family, I walked the Camino Primitivo in Spain.  In medieval clothes and shoes.  You know.  As one does. Now first, I feel the need to tell you that yes, […]

Rhodes: Writing about Sieges (Pen and Sword tour Part 1)

November 7, 2017 by Christian 1 Comment

Today I was in the mines beneath the walls of Rhodes; I walked along the ditch where you can see where cannon and other artillery have knocked holes in the masonry, and I looked out over the glacis to where the Turkish trenches were; to where Demetrios the Besieger sat in the fourth century BCE.
