Day of the Witch, Book Four of The Faun Quartet, Debuts!

I will be taking a break from social media starting today for an indeterminate period of time. I have enjoyed connecting with many of you, readers and writers alike, and hope to return sooner rather than later. Welcome to another entry in "What Is This Sword Thing?", The ongoing series where I give a brief historical and physical description of a blade (or other martial implement) found in The Faun Quartet high fantasy books. Today's subject is the Swiss degen. Hello again, welcome to another installment of "what is this sword thing?" - but today, we have a twist. For you, astute scroller of instagram, have likely noticed that this is not a sword at all, but a shield! Today's topic, thus, is the buckler. Welcome to the fourth episode of What Is This Sword Thing? I'm you're host, Chris J Edwards, and today we are looking at the falchion. It is no secret that I derive much of my fantasy writing from historical fact - not only in small details, like food and daily dress, but in bigger ways like geography and politics. Thank you to everyone who downloaded The Faun Quartet over the past month! There was a huge influx of readers recently, and I really appreciate all of you! As an independent author, I rely on such support. One of the most rewarding parts of being an author is when someone really enjoys your work. I'd sooner have ten people claim a book I wrote is their favourite than have a million people read it and forget it a week later. The best research for writing novels is walking around! Castles, churches, and other monumental buildings feature prominently in most of my work, usually contrasted by the natural world - rural countryside, soaring mountains, and ancient forests. Start the adventure today! This is more a personal post than a professional one, which is rare. But I moved again just last week! One final quote from Day of the Witch before the end of the year. It has been one week of Day of the Witch being out in the world, and with it, the conclusion of The Faun Quartet.

We live as we dream – alone.
