Basinets and Brassarts--Elin Gregory, Historical Romances and "A Taste of Copper"

I'm delighted to be hosting Elin Gregory over on my website today, where she talks about armour and world-building and her wonderful new book, A Taste of Copper. The stuff about armour is *fascinating*. I have to admit that before today, if I'd been asked to name the parts of a suit of armour, the only bit I'd have got would be 'vambrace' and that's because archers use 'em and I have a pair in the same box as my bow... Come along and enjoy Elin's post!






Lovely cover, too, isn't it?
