Yes, I do. It's hard to get them published these days as I write long sagas about knighthoods and chivalric codes, heroes and cultures and religions that do battle against evil, etc. And my knights are tall and handsome and strong and my ladies are lovely and intelligent and good. My common people are shrewd and multifarious and open to offers of the chance to be great. There are orders of every kind and relationships of masters and hunter companions, of secret military police and soldiers. There are deserts and mountains and lands beyond the cartographers maps where my knights go questing for the honour that will bring them the right to wear the icons of their orders as graduates and to further their quests and achievement by this time honoured method. Their sagas lead to the reader's discovery of their world and all its folk and cultures, struggles and victories and to a storyline about one special knight and his companions whose tale begins with a gesture of defence and ends with a gift of eternity.
I'm waiting for the world to want heroes again, before I send my latest sagas off. One has to battle the political correctness brigade and fight off extremist feminists, who have become something of a curse to humankind.
