Since clay tablets and papyrus scrolls, the hardest part of being an author isn't writing a book it's selling it. I'm guessing even Bede sometimes despaired. But, hey, MENEWOOD is ready to preorder in the UK in paperback, so Buy My Book! Post has buy links, credits: wp.me/p5F4z1-No#medievalsky 📚💙

13th century framed illustration of a man desperately showing an open book to a mythical winged beast who is so uninterested it has turned away and stuck its own tail in its ear.
Medieval-looking frame around a dailaogue between an author and reader: Author: I have a new book! Just out in paperback! Reader: Look at this interesting rock... Author: I think you'd like it. It's— Reader: 🎶 La-la-la 🎶 Author: No, really, it's just your sort of— Reader: 🎶 LA-LA-LA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!! 🎶 The Reader's dialogue is bracketed by musical-note emojis
Against an azure background meant to look like dyed vellum, the cover of a novel, Menewood by Nicola Griffith, and next to in gold text, a quote from Carolyne Larrington, Professor of Medieval Euroipean Literature, University of Oxford, "Menewood is an absolute triumph. Hildl is truly a hero for everywoman, here and now."

Menewood is so good, even better, if possible, than Hild. Hild is my new heroine, right up there with Aethelflaeda of Mercia. Great read, characters, dialog, and setting written so well, makes me wonder why my ancestors bailed in 1620.
