It's great to be the brother of the king!
Or is it? Looks like Louis of Orleans may have something to say about that...

This week on This is History Presents: The Glass King, enter John the Fearless - because France was not chaotic enough already.

Hope you've been enjoying the series!

Check out my summer project: a new miniseries for This Is History!

This one is about Charles VI, whose reign was going swimmingly … until he fell to pieces.

6 eps & 6 more subscriber eps with Dan Jones and me going deep into the weeds (& way off into the woods).

I hope you enjoy The Glass King! 🎧

Episode 300?! 🥂 How did this happen?

Mostly, with a little help from my friends. ❤️

Thank-you so much, listeners! I’m so grateful for your kindness and enthusiasm every week! (And your questions this week…)

Here’s to 300 more episodes of awesome medieval history. 🥳 Thanks, everybody!

Tell ‘em, kid!

(I need this shirt!)

It’s National Indigenous Peoples Day here in Canada, and this is essential reading. For all people who want to walk with Indigenous peoples, and show with actions - not just words - that we are willing to work towards reconciliation, here are simple, clear actions to take.

(Flip through!)

This is very special to me because there are people very special to me who can now read this comfortably. It also means this little book is now out in three languages - a new experience!

Thank-you to everyone who’s read and shared this book. It means the world. 💚

I am so pleased to share this absolutely gorgeous Japanese translation of How to Live Like a Monk!

Beautiful paper and design? Trust Japan to understand the assignment and knock it out of the park. It even has a placeholder!

Indigo is also flagging Canadian authors’ works on their website, so you can spot them more easily.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

And remember…

In fairness, I haven’t read this whole article because… hmmm… 🧐

I’ve been super sick since Saturday, and (apparently) VERY boring.

If you’re in Toronto tonight, go see my lovely friend and mentor Joanne Findon speak on women in Irish lit!

(Sadly, I’m really sick and can’t go, so say hello for me!)

You can now get hold of this wee book at all your favourite places. Some of my favourite nuggets about the medieval world are in it, and Anna’s art is quirky and fun and just right.

I sincerely hope you love it and share it. It’s a little piece of my heart, just for you. 🧡

Hello, my beauties! 😍

The preorders are just starting to make their way to their new, loving homes!
