Colorado Tartan Day, Celebrating Scottish Independence and the Declaration of Arbroath
From April 6th 2019: good memories and a bit of good history.
(don't miss the Medieval Covid masks)
There were several tents set up creating a Scottish
We discovered armor, antique weaponry, demonstrations of spinning (this nice lady explained the drop-spindle which I have yet to master) beautiful
A wonderful display or armaments and armor.
There was a blacksmith demonstration,
A rare glimpse of a Faerie, as well as numerous Scottie dogs, some wearing kilts.
Submitted on that date, in Latin, to Pope John XXII, the intention was to confirm Scotland's status as an independent, sovereign state, while defending Scotland's right to use military action when unjustly attacked.
Believed to have been written in the Arbroath Abbey by Bernard of Kilwinning, Chancellor of Scotland and Abbot of Arbroath, the letter is the sole survivor of three created at the time.
Arbroath Abbey
The others were a letter from the King of Scots, Robert I, and a letter from four Scottish bishops which all presumably made similar points.
Steeped in turmoil and political intrigue the declaration was part of a broader campaign for independence from England's Norman kings and a plea to lift the excommunication of Robert The Bruce.
Here are the most famous lines from the English language translation by Sir James Fergusson, Keeper of the Records of Scotland.
...for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
Woot woot thanks for stopping by.
Clothes for the romantic at heart.
A rare glimpse of a Faerie, as well as numerous Scottie dogs, some wearing kilts.
For Steampunk lovers there was a leather helm fashioned after the headgear worn by physicians in the middle ages during the plague years. Who knew by 2020 we'd all want one!

BLISS: FAE WARRIORS BOOK 2 
View prizes and enter here
Fae Warrior, Bliss Goodeve, fires up her empath skills to help Mother Nature battle the Reptiles invading Earth. But when it comes to her new human partner, Nathaniel Winston Calhoun, Bliss would rather make love than wage war. A man of mystery, he even makes horn-rimmed glasses and a white lab coat sexy.
Nate admits to being a brainiac, at least that’s the persona he shows the outside world. If his boss discovered his checkered past, life could get complicated. The bad boy in Nate wants Bliss in the worst way. The scientist in him calculates high odds of being left brokenhearted.
After one Reptile goes rogue, it’s up to Bliss, Nate, and an alien critter named Noodge to bring him down. But time is running out, and things are heating up—especially romantically. Bliss is all for living in the moment. But will that be enough for either one of them?

Undercover Outlaw finalist at Oklahoma Romance Writers Guild
Will he cross the line to find his brother’s killer?
Will she help him at the risk of her own freedom?
Jesse is determined to track down the man who
killed his brother in cold blood. Impersonating an outlaw, his quest for
justice becomes a living, breathing, part of his soul.
Trinity is heading to Denver to escape her vicious
guardians. When her stagecoach is robbed, Jesse kidnaps her, and all her
well-laid plans collide with his, leaving them both in danger.
Trapped in Prairie Ridge by a flood, Jesse and
Trinity's feelings soon run as high and wild as the river. When Jesse is
accused of murder, Trinity stands by his side, and they take on the town's
tyrannical leader. As the city cowers in fear, help comes from an unexpected
source, but can it save Jesse from a hangman's noose?
Available here! https://books2read.com/u/4NXBwY
Excerpt:
Jesse
grasped one of her hands and kissed the palm. “Tell Sol what’s happened,” he
ordered, “and do exactly as he says.” Then he let her hand slip from his,
and
his expression hardened. “And don’t come back here.”
She
knew his harsh words were his way of protecting her. But not seeing him or
knowing he was all right would be a far worse fate than anything else
she
could imagine.
Footsteps
echoed at her back.
“Whoever
heard of a female reporter anyway?” Jesse mocked loudly. “You women should stay
at home where you belong and leave the running of the world to
us
men.”
“Like
you men are doing such a great job. Besides, you’re big news, cowboy. And we
women have only begun to take our place in the thick of things. You
might
as well get accustomed to having me around. ”Jesse balled his hands into fists,
and he wore an expression of frustration—her message had gotten
through
loud and clear. On impulse she mouthed the words, I love you.
“Sheriff, get this female out of here. And in the future, I demand you keep her away from me.” His voice was cold, but she hoped the fire in his eyes spoke of remembered passion, and not anger. Sheriff Langford grabbed her elbow and escorted her non-too-gently away from the cell.
