Truth is, I don't like listening to recordings of me. But I'll let you guys do it. This is a gift from my friend Brent Bowen, a wonderful author & member of my local writer's group, the Dead Horse Society (DHS). It's a recording of a reading I did last fall with several other DHS authors - my first public reading ever. I read ALL of chapter five, where Ghemena tells Eolyn how magic was given to her people. So it was quite a preview. But it was also very looooong. 13 minutes!
For your benefit, I've spliced this version to about 8 minutes. (It took me the better part of the afternoon to figure out how to do that, by the way - I've never spliced a video before!) Shorter, but you may still want to get a cup of coffee or tea or something before you sit down to listen.

Hope you enjoy!

Eleanor of Acquitaine, Elizabeth I, Katarina de Medici, Heloise...gadzooks, the list is endless!
I do feel a deep affinity for Eleanor of Acquitaine though. I wish there was more to know about her.
Ooop! I clicked to listen then realized it might include the chapter I'm currently reading. I'll have to listen AFTER I've read it.
Oh, you picked some of my favorites! Eleanor of Acquitaine is awesome. If I ever get ambitious enought to write historical fiction, I'll write about her. :)
