THE LION IN WINTER (1968) Grade: B

Such an interesting movie. Like a coming home for holidays movie but with a royal family. Had some funny light hearted moments and a crazy good cast. Great dialogue.

A king who has already gone down in history.

He just wants to rest now, but needs to give his daughter more time before retiring.

Invisible Authors

I wish I was as successful as Richard Castle. He has a fabulous NYC apartment, another home on the coast and he spends money without having to think about the cost or value.

There are a few authors whose books have made them rich (over $20m in 2018 alone), such as JK Rowling, Stephen King and John Grisham but, in reality, the top 10% of writers account for 70% of all income from books and less than 14% of authors can rely on writing as a sole source of their income.

A survey was carried out by the University of Glasgow of 50,000 authors' earnings this century. From an average author income of £18,013 in 2006, it fell by 52.65% to £10,497 in 2018. I began writing in 2019 - great timing, eh?

But I'm not doing this to make millions, although covering costs is good. When one plans retirement, they often take up painting or, in my case, writing. Any profit I receive from selling my books is carefully calculated each year (income declared, of course) and 50% of those profits are donated to a charity for the homeless.

If you are considering self-publishing, here is an article you might find interesting. I wish you the very best of luck with your writing and publishing.

#OTD in 1651 – Surrender of Limerick.

Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army had taken control of the eastern part of Ireland, forcing the Irish Confederates west of the River Shannon to Athlone, Galway, and Limerick. Cromwell left Ireland in May 1650, leaving the army under the command of his son-in-law, Henry Ireton. After a failed attempt to take Limerick in October 1650, Ireton spent the winter preparing for a new offensive. Limerick…

John's Subordinates: Demon Lord AU

Nathaniel 'Hound' Grey: A Former Hero who joined John when he was offered a home free of the control of the Kingdom, his War Wolves led by his daughter slipping into 'Heroholm' (A Place regarded as a grand home for heroes and their families where they are allowed to grow and train without threat from outside their Grand walls, but it truly is a gilded cage where only the lucky and the loyal bootlickers of the King are allowed to leave) and 'kidnapping' the man's family and bringing them to Grey in exchange for his service for ten years. Yet even after that ten year period was up, Grey continued serving under John, both men not mentioning the fact his service was long over and he could happily retire to raise his daughters and sons alongside his wife.

Nox 'Mist' Geist: John's daughter by way of a Noblewoman who bought a night with him while he was little more then a slave in the Arena, John stole the girl from her mother once he saw that she was treated like a oddity or curiosity fit only to be trotted out to show off before being sent back to the 'bedroom' she lived within. As they left the Kingdom behind and fled into the depths of the Demon Lands, she began to showcase a blessing of the Forsaken One that was exceptionally rare, the Blessing of the Embrace which let her fade into a mist or fog like form, John doing his best to teach her how to control the blessing even if he couldn't remember much of the lessons he had learned about the last person Blessed with the power.

Redclaw: One of the Eldest of the War Wolves, she once had led the Clan of Nomads who would become the demonically enhanced Lycans that John would claim as his personal forces after beating all the Elders half to death through blunting their claws and fangs on his skin and bludgeoning them with his bare hands, Redclaw having been the only member of the Elder Council who managed to break his skin through a magically enhanced attack. She serves John as his second in command, commanding the Wolves when John isn't available or away for a time, the Elder coming to see John as a child of her own and forcing the man to care for himself far more when he fell into a depression after learning the one he knew as Evra had been slain during the War against the Kingdom.

Marcus 'Admantine' Long: the Demon advisor assigned to John, both as a handler and a set of eyes for the Demon King, Marcus was once a Templar in service to the Kingdom's Church who was captured by the previous Demon King and was broken to the point of being more automaton that man. The current Demon King found the man hacking away at a bloody pile of meat and bone, his body soaked in sweat and his eyes bloodshot, Marcus still following the last order the previous King had issued to him about punishing a 'traitor' (one of many such 'traitors' in the Court, the previous King having seen a traitor in every shadow and a Assassin in every courtier). The king has high hopes that spending time around John and his Wolves would drive the Templar to become... more.
