About the Book

If you enjoy Historical Fantasy tales of wizards and warriors...of desperate battles where even courage in the face of the enemy may not be enough to turn the tide...and a "Hero" who is as far from what you would perceive the title to imply-then "Death Comes Calling" is for you. Taking place in the early Middle Ages in a country very similar to England of that time, "Death Comes Calling"-the third book in the captivating series "Tales From The Lands of Arlington Green"-manages to blend humorous tales with exciting adventures to create a good read that is difficult to put down.A collection of interconnected stories, "Death Comes Calling" focuses upon the adventures-as well as misadventures-of a true enigma. A young scribe named Dylan, whose talent for finding trouble is an art form, sees life as a game to be played and won by his wits and his stubbornness. Whether the game is on the chessboard against The Duchess or new ways to evade responsibilities, he always plays to win. A good man in spite of himself, he does have a kind heart...its his brain that is sometimes questionable! What better way to turn an impetuous immature boy into a man than the influence of a good woman? Through the influence of The Duke and Duchess as well as the beautiful young songstress Robyn, Dylan begins to change himself into someone quite capable of becoming a man to be reckoned with. Their fledgling school thrives under his leadership, he out-duels a powerful wizard out to destroy Arlington Greens grain supply...and then he goes and rams a sailing ship the Duke is interested in buying into a dock!He is Dylan after all!At this time, Arlington Green earns the wrath of their neighbor, the newly appointed Earl of Thornsbury. Angry that his prior attempt at destroying Arlington Green's major food source had failed, the young impetuous fool Thornsbury decides he will form an army of mercenaries to invade and burn Arlington Green to the ground! His intentions discovered, Arlington Green gears for war! Fielding a Militia with no experience in battle, in order to inspire the farmers and townsfolk of Arlington Green to stand and fight in the face of a desperate enemy, it is decided that they need to be lead by one of their own. Appointed as the figure-head Commander of the Militia, Dylan (who has no military experience of his own) has former Royal Army Officers to handle tactical decisions and maneuvers in actual battle. Questioning if he has what it takes to stand and fight...in addition to being an inspiration to the men under his command...Dylan is about to face the biggest challenge of his life! On the day of the battle, his Tactical Commander is needed elsewhere, leaving Dylan completely in charge of an inexperienced force of farmers and tradesman facing experienced soldiers out for blood! It so happens that Thornsbury's land abuts The Channel, the body of water which separates The Realm from their traditional enemies "The Army Who Wears Blue". With tensions mounting between both countries to nearly the breaking point, wouldn't Thornsbury's be the perfect location to land an invasion force?Life can be so funny sometimes. Here you have the lives of the families of Arlington Green at stake, plus the balance of power between two traditional warring nations, all placed in the hands of a former Teller-of-Tales with no military experience who questions his ability to stay and fight once battle has commenced!Wish the man luck-he's going to need it!
