I'm in 1959 in Jamaica. I've just learnt that my scallywag of a father, Errol Flynn, has died on a heart attack aged 50. Apparently all the ladies used to swoon at the sight of him, he was so handsome!

That's up to you!
It's "The Bhagavad Gita" from the wider "Mahabharata" and in the context of the Kurukshetra war. But as I'm on a bit of a philosophy bend, I'm just reading the Gita now.

I have about 90% completed the research for my novel set in the 9th century Carolingian empire. I have also completed a rough list of chapters for my first draft, which I should be starting in a week or two. The extra fun will begin when my characters take over and continually surprise me.
Bodo the Apostate, a novel set during the reign of Louis the Pious and end of the Carolingian Empire.

I'm holed up in the Church Tower at the Templar's complex in Garway, on the Anglo-Welsh border. I'm seeking sanctuary after being falsely accused of murdering my brother. It's 1282, and a very sad time for Welshmen like me- our prince, Llywelyn, was ambushed and killed not long ago.
In one of those strange coincidences, I've just been reading about the Templar complex at Garway in Simon Brighton's book In Search of the Templars: a Guide to the Sites in Britain.
Currently reading: King Arthur's Bones, a collection by the Medieval Murderers.
