In the summer of 1462, Sir Henrie Walshyngham, fearful that his wife would succumb to the feverous disease that had afflicted her for weeks, prayed to the Blessed Virgin Mary, begging her to intercede and ask God to restore his wife to good health. In return, he swore that he would carry out a pilgrimage to the Lady Chapel in Glastonbury Abbey. When his wife soon recovered, honor compelled him to fulfill his holy vow.

SHORT STORY
The Revenant: A tale of Vengeance Beyond the Grave.
NOVEL
The Second Great Mortality: a tale of Pestilence, war, and un-death in Medieval England.
I can honestly say that I never imagined myself becoming the author of a zombie horror novel. The project actually began as a short diversion from writing a “serious novel” set in fifteenth-century England. As a long-time student of medieval warfare and a hardcore fan of zombie movies, I thought it would be fun to describe an encounter between a few men-at-arms and a horde of the undead. The next thing I knew I had close to a hundred pages, and The Second Great Mortality was born. I always love to hear what fellow zombie aficionados think.
Historical Reenactment
A lifelong Medieval history enthusiast, I enjoy the knightly pursuits of jousting, hunting, and sword fighting.

Fantastic read. Chivalrous knights and archers vs. zombies. Plenty of action; and the author just conveyed a great sense of these times and what life would've been like back then. ... I think this book would make a phenomenal movie are streaming series. I cannot stop reading it I'm so enthralled.
An engaging novel that combines the best of the horror and medieval fantasy genres. A relatable protagonist struggles to keep his kingdom and family from falling victim to the undead, and there is conflict from both inside and outside the walls of Colleville. The tension is amped up into a frantic conclusion that leaves you wanting more.
MUST READ. Amazing book! Great story and very well written. One of the best books I have read in a long time. Felt like I was right there fighting along side them.
2 Thumbs up!!! I am a fan of The Walking Dead, and anything medieval... The author did a great job blending the two genres together. The book reads very easily, and has a great pace that carries through until the end. All in all, brilliant!
I really enjoyed this book. I do not ordinarily enjoy zombie type books but this one really kept my interest. The author did a great job and was very knowledgeable regarding the time period, dress and weaponry of the time. I would definately recommend this book.
The best historical fiction books are almost believable. In this case, blending zombies with the Black Plague. ... The reader comes to care about other characters for their heroism or compassion, but also simply because Sir Richard cares about them. This is also frightening because before the end, you don't know who will live and who will be lost. ...
Awesome book! Picked it up and couldn't stop reading! Very original and lots of detail from the period. Will be standing by for the movie!
Five Stars. Loved it!
