Why is a football called a pigskin?

Posted on November 22, 2013 by Jessica Trapp

In the middle ages, football season started in November. That’s when the pigs were slaughtered. The kids took pigs’ bladders and filled them with peas to make footballs.

Listening to Veil of Lies by Jeri Westerson in the car today. Great book! A very entertaining read and a fabulous narrator. Audio books sure makes sitting in traffic more pleasant. Veil of Lies by Jeri Westerson

November

Posted on November 19, 2013 by Jessica Trapp

Joe and I love to lay in front of our easy, low maintenance gas fireplace, but in the medieval world, November was often a month of gathering firewood to provide warmth during the winter. I love the scent of a wood fire.

The Heretic’s Daughter tag line

Posted on October 16, 2013 by Jessica Trapp

I attended a great workshop last night with Gerry Bartlett on tag lines.

For The Heretic’s Daughter:

A medieval heiress faces church censorship to become a doctor but her biggest obstacle is the king’s insistence she marry a mercenary.

Summer in Scotland

Posted on October 15, 2013 by Jessica Trapp

Fall is in full swing now, but this year had a fantastic summer. We spent three weeks in Scotland hiking, exploring castles and wandering through museums doing research for my upcoming trilogy. Such inspiration! The first book in the series, The Heretic’s Daughter is nearly complete. Heading to Starbucks this morning to do revisions. I love to travel and it’s nice to be home.
