Today we have a guest post by author Amanda Tero! She is releasing her new book, Protecting the Poor, later this month. And she is here today to talk about historical occupations in the town of Abtshire, where her story takes place.

Occupations in Abtshire

“I cannot help every moment. I work in the candle maker’s shop during the day.”

“Protecting the Poor” is all about the villagers in Abtshire. Every individual was occupied in some way or
another. This not only fits the history, it fits the turmoil of Abtshire very well. You have Lydda, a
candlemaker. Noel and Philaon, stable workers. Patey, a weaver. A group of lads and lasses working to
erect the barracks while others (like Dumphey) specially selected for the lord’s service in the army. In
“Protecting the Poor,” the danger of having talent is that as soon as Lord Feroci discovered it, he claimed
it as his own. Which is why you have characters, such as Betin, who hid out in the woods.

Lord Feroci dealt with weapons such as swords, spears, and javelins. Dumphey had never known of a bowyer in Abtshire.

“Bow material doesn’t cure in mere days. It takes years—three years, four—before it is ready.”

A bowyer had to stay on top of his work. Use wood too green, and your bow wouldn’t last long. Wood
too brittle and it would snap at first or second use. The bowyer had to know the perfect conditioning for
his wood. Added to that, he had to know how to shape his bow in order to get the best shot, the most
consistency, and longevity of use. Watch a video about bowmaking here.

 
He and Dumphey had lived in this room since before Mother passed—and she was a
distant memory. Yet Noel could remember her stroking his head at nighttime when he was afraid in this small, dark room above the cooper’s shop.

A cooper is a wooden barrel-maker. Just like in bow-making, one had to cure the wood and know every
bend and potential break. Hoops held the barrel together and didn’t use other binding material (such as
glue). Read more about it from this helpful article.

Candlemaking—a chandler—was another vital occupation. It was a hot and smelly job that had to be kept
on top of in order to supply the number of candles needed. Watch an informational video here.

Other occupations, such as baker, miller, blacksmith, and weaver were all important to the running of any
city (read a list of medieval occupations here). Today, we see these crafts as hobbies. Back then, they
were necessary for living.
Do you enjoy any hobby that was prevalent during the medieval era? Have you researched into any of
them?

Tales of Faith Blog Tour - Book Excerpt

 

     
Today we have a book excerpt from "The Secret Slipper" by Amanda Tero. It is the entire prologue of the book, and it leaves me super excited to read the rest of the story!    

   Prologue    

Kiralyn Castle

Another grave. This time, a short one. Nes tossed the spade onto a patch of unturned earth
and stood straight. Mayhap the plague would take him next and spare him from seeing body after
body plunge from healthy to dead. He was old enough. His aching back provoked the reminder.
He looked at the hole in front of him. He’d rather die himself than bury another child—let alone
the lord’s child.
Turning from the empty grave ready to receive its burden, Nes walked toward the castle, his
footsteps slow. In a few hours, the blonde lass would be buried beside her mother—two fresh
graves, waiting to welcome Lord Kiralyn home. Nes shuddered. At least he was not the one
telling Lord Kiralyn. He only had to bury the child once the friar finished the service. Within
time, the lord would move on and find another wife. Mayhap raise another family. His riches
provided such luxury—unlike Nes, whose lot in life had never altered from when he was a lad.
Nes brushed his dirt-encrusted fingers on his breeches and stopped at the well. He drew a
bucket of water and let its weight settle on the stone ledge. The yard was silent, like it had been
for the past few days—as if people were afraid to breathe anymore.
Nes splashed water onto his face, letting the cool droplets run down his dry cheeks. If
someone would hand him a passage out—whether by death or by journey—he would take it.
Any place where he did not have to spend his days burying the losses from the plague.
He turned and looked at the castle behind him with a frown. Lord Kiralyn should be here, not
out fighting war with some other vassal. He had money enough to send an army of trusted
knights and stay behind himself, seeing to the needs of his own serfs here at his castle.
Laughter trickled down to the courtyard. Nes’s frown deepened as he looked up at the
windows of the castle. The days had been too long and sorrowful. Mirth shouldn’t come from the
castle for a long while. Especially not the morn after Ellia’s death.
A blonde head bounced in front of the open window. Nes squinted as he looked harder at the
window, rubbing a rough hand over his face. He was at the castle door before he realized he had
left the well.
Though no royalty was around, Nes found himself glancing over his shoulder before
entering. He hadn’t been in the castle before, but something wasn’t right—either his mind, or…
Things were as silent in the castle now as they had been in the yard. Nes hesitated before
rushing up the corridor toward the window he had seen from below. The lass was still there,
taking one uneven step after another. He brushed his forehead as he watched the limp.
“Child!” Sharp tones echoed through the passageway.
Nes slipped into the shadows as he recognized the voice as Ellia’s nursemaid, Bioti. Hadn’t

he been told that Bioti ordered the grave? Chills crawled through his body as he saw the
nursemaid lunge toward Ellia, jerking her away from the window.
“I told you to stay in the room.”
“Mo-er.” Ellia pointed in Nes’s direction. He flattened himself against the wall and held his
breath.
“Mother is dead. Now hush so we can leave.”
When the nursery door slammed shut, Nes stepped forward. He looked out the window, the
open grave in clear sight. If Ellia was alive, then whose
grave had he been digging? And where was Bioti planning on taking her? He turned and opened
the door that Bioti had entered.
Bioti spun around, her long skirts hiding the lass. “Nes!” Her slate-gray eyes hardened. “Shut
the door.”
He stepped into the room and pushed the door closed with his back. “Methinks you have
some explainin’ to do.”
“Methinks not.” Bioti stepped up to Nes, her young face smooth and unreadable.
“Whose grave be I digging?”
Bioti’s mouth lowered into a frown. She reached into her russet kirtle and pulled out a pouch.
She held it toward Nes, shaking it so that coins clanged against each other. “You are digging
Ellia’s grave.”
“Nay, I am not.” Nes looked from Bioti to the child, whose fingers had slipped into her
mouth. “What be ye doing?” Or should he ask what she was planning on doing with the little
lass?

Bioti straightened. “I see that as none of your concern.” Her fingers clenched the pouch.
“If ye touch the lass—”
“Fool. I’m not going to kill Ellia.” Bioti pressed the pouch into Nes’s hand. “You need to dig
a grave for me in the peasant’s plot—convince the others that I died too. Bury something in it; it
doesn′t matter what.”
Nes threw the pouch down and grabbed Bioti’s shoulders. Surely the plague had made her
mad. “Think calmly—”
“I have done nothing but think, Nes!” Bioti pulled away from his strong grip, her hands up
and clenched, as if ready to fight. “If you had seen it—what Lord Kiralyn did to my
husband—you would have been thinking, too. Aye, you would be doing a lot of thinking.”
“Bioti, that was years ago.” If she was reasonable, Nes might try to prove that, for once, he
stood with Lord Kiralyn. Bioti’s husband had usurped the lord’s authority. Lord Kiralyn had
every right to send him to the fields, just like he had sent dozens of other men. But no one
expected Phillip to contract scurvy. The lord could not be blamed for that.
“You think I do not feel the pain every day? Phillip is dead because of Lord Kiralyn.  He deserves to lose his daughter. To feel the pain of her absence every morn the sun rises.”
Nes shook his head slowly. “He has already lost his wife.” He knew too well how that felt.
“Aye.” Bioti nodded her head, an evil smile creeping onto her face. “Even the hand of
Providence is against him.”
“Then let Providence take his child.”
“Nay!” Bioti looked back at Ellia, who was watching the argument with wide eyes. She
turned again to Nes, lowering her voice. “Have you never wanted a new life?
A life where you didn’t have to work so hard to gain too little? Look around you, Nes.” She
gestured with both arms.
Nes sighed and let his eyes travel around the child’s room. Dark carpet covered the floor,
scattered with fancy toys. A cradle stood in the corner, lined with a shiny material. There was
more in this one place than in Nes’s entire cottage, which he was forced to share with others,
since he had no family.
“You can live better than you live today.” Bioti’s soft words drew his attention. “I have
access to a whole chest of money.”
“What is that to me?” Nes kept his voice indifferent as his eyes rested on the blonde head of
a child who, as the daughter of a lord, would never experience toil or pain.
“It can all be yours. Dig yourself a grave too. Let people think you have died.”
“And who would be there to report my death?” Nes scoffed.
Bioti shrugged. “I’m sure you can find a way to make it happen.” Her gray eyes penetrated
into Nes’s, challenging him. “Journey to another village. Start a new life as a rich man. I
promise: no one shall discover the truth.” Bioti reached down and picked up the pouch. “This
alone holds more coins than you ever see in a season, and you can have it all today.”
“How do I know you will give me the rest?”
Bioti smiled. “Because you will walk away with it.”
Nonsense. Nes brought his hands up to massage his aching neck as he watched Bioti reach
under Ellia’s lacy bed. She pulled out a trunk and thumped it with her fist.
“I cannot lift it, but you can.” She tilted it enough for coins to tumble around on the inside.
Nes knelt beside the chest, secured with a lock. A passage out? Surely wishes didn′t come
true. Not for peasants. “ʻTis your money?”
Bioti rolled her eyes. “What servant has this kind of money? Lord Kiralyn will not miss it nor
will he miss you.”
Nes’s jaw tightened at her comment. If she was trying to remind him that he had no one to
care for him in his old age, she wasn’t missing her mark.
“The fine and mighty lord has enough to lend. Especially if it will guarantee the safety of his
precious daughter.” She straightened and picked up Ellia. “Take the chest. And if that is not
enough, I shall see to it that you live comfortably for the rest of your pitiful life.” Her jaw ticked
tighter as she spoke.
Nes looked from the chest to Bioti. “You think I shall trust you?”
“Aye.” Bioti’s eyes flashed. “This is far better than anything Lord Kiralyn would do for you.
When he returns, your chance will be gone.”
“And the lass. She’ll live?”
“If you take the money and flee, aye.”
Nes held Bioti’s gaze. “I will hold you to that.”
Bioti smirked. She backed away from Nes and placed her hand on the door behind him.
“Three graves. Cover them, then flee.”

Tales of Faith Blog Tour - Book Review

 

  Today I am taking part in a blog tour for the Tales of Faith series by Amanda Tero. There will be a lovely group of about 14 people who will be posting during the 3 month tour, and I plan to have a different post up on the 5th of each month. So be sure to check it out and join in the fun!     Book Description    Belle has returned unannounced to the castle to restore her relationship with the king, her father. Her hopes are dashed with the devastating message: "The king refuses to see you." Convinced that God has led her home, she is unwilling to return to Lord and Lady Kiralyn.

Time is running out for the decision that will change her life. When tragedy strikes, will she and her father be pulled further apart or knit together? Could she stay at the castle even if she will never see her father again?     My Review   This was an amazing retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I normally enjoy reading a good retelling, but this one surprised me. I almost liked the plot twists this book took more then the originally story! The characters were wonderfully done, and fit in perfectly with the theme of Beauty and the Beast.    After leaving the castle as a child, it took a surprising twist to bring Belle back to her childhood home. Everyone at the castle was in for a big surprise when she arrived out of the blue, but the message from the King was equally surprising for Belle. It was really interesting to see how Belle's return changed things. It got to the point were the decisions that were made would either bring her family back together, or tear it apart for good. And no one ever said the choices would be easy. But if she is diligent to follow the leading that brought her home again, there just might be a chance at a happily ever after.         I received this book free from the author, Amanda Tero, for my honest review. The opinions are my own.

'Tis So Sweet Blog Tour

Trusting God is hard when nothing seems to go right. In Faith's new book, Eleanor Miller learns that. But will she finally trust God in the end?

Trusting God is hard

Eleanor Miller has never lacked for anything, but she wanted to become a schoolteacher anyway to instill the love of learning into other children. Unlike what happened with her brother, Grover.

Grover hated school and authority. He rebelled any change he could. When he almost killed a man, their family was torn apart and he was disowned.

Eleanor understands her father’s decision, but she worries she will never see Grover again. Will she find out how sweet it is to trust Jesus in everything no matter what happens or will she stop trusting Him completely?

Book Excerpt

Henry nodded and jumped down. He walked around to the front and tied the horses to the hitching

rail before helping Eleanor down. They walked into the store arm in arm.

“Top o’ the mornin’,” the proprietor said cheerily. “And a fine mornin’ ’tis now. I have two new

customers with bright an’ cheery faces.”

Eleanor’s quick gaze saw a redheaded Irishman’s honest, happy face. “Good morning. I’m afraid

you will only have one customer from the two of us.” She let go of her father’s arm and walked up

to the counter. “I am the new schoolteacher.”

The Irishman’s smile grew even broader, though Eleanor had no idea how. “And ’tis happy I am to

hear that. We’ve been needin’ a teacher for our wee ones for many a year, but no one would come

for such little pay. I fear ye have yer work cut out for ye, lass. But what is it that brought ye in here

this fine mornin’?”

Henry stepped up behind his daughter. “I’m Henry Miller, Eleanor’s father. We’re here to find out

where to bring her things.”

“Ah. Ye’ve come to th’ right place, ye have. Y’see, I’m the head of the school board and happen to

know where yer daughter will be staying this month, next month, the month after that, and all the months

through the end of the school term. And if she dare stay through next term, I know where she’ll stay then.”

The man winked at her and came around the counter. “I fear I’ve been lax. Me name is Patrick O’Toole. If

ye’ll but wait a wee bit, I’ll get me wife to mind the store and introduce ye to the Cavendishes meself.”

“Thank you. We’ll be here when you get back.”
