Who knows? It's a question readers often ask me but we'll have to wait and see. She's about 32 now, with two children living in different households as was the custom then, so by the time poor Richard is murdered, she's going to be quite old. I would love to write a book shadowing every year of Richard II's reign with a different, multi-layered mystery for Hildegard to solve. I'm doubtful about putting too much violence in the stories as there is already so much in the world and I don't like the idea of adding to it, even if only in the imagination, but then, it's part of that world too so it cannot be avoided. ![]() It surprises me that I'm writing historical novels at all, especially ones involving crime, as before this I wrote contemporary plays and romance.

This is no ordinary journey-it is a time of rival popes, a boy king, and a shaky peace in the savage aftermath of Wat Tyler's. ![]() ![]() I'm mad about the middle ages and love writing this series of medieval whodunits featuring nun sleuth Hildegard of Meaux.

For example, she has given birth to only two children, one of whom died at age eleven days ( U 14.267, 17.2281). The epithets applied to Gea and Tellus are "all-producing and all-nourishing mother, nourisher of children, receiver and nourisher of seeds, sanctuary of the dead, prophetess." I see none of these qualities in Molly. I find Molly to be Gea-Tellus, however, only in the same sense that she can be seen as a faithful Penelope. ![]() 2 Gea, or Gaea, or Ge emerged from Chaos, "At the beginning of all things," Graves says.

Aware that fourteenth-century eyewitnesses described a disease more contagious and deadlier than bubonic plague ( Yersinia pestis), the bacillus traditionally associated with the Black Death, dissident scholars in the 1970s and 1980s proposed typhus or anthrax or mixes of typhus, anthrax, or bubonic plague as the culprit. In spite of enduring fascination with the Black Death, even the identity of the disease behind the epidemic remains a point of controversy. ![]() ![]() Despite growing understanding of the Black Death’s effects, definitive assessment of its role as historical watershed remains a work in progress.
