Well, I self published a book with a very narrow band of interest! Hooray! Whelp, I received my first AI offer for a Live Q&A for 4300 plus readers. Ha! It is clear that it scraped off my description and wants to explore the mechanics of my writing. Um, no.

(SCA) Chivalry scroll for Ludovic went out yesterday at Twelfth Night. The person is really into medieval architecture so I went for it. Black ink for calligraphy, gouache paint for painting of the illumination. Words by good friend Matthias Grunewald.
Artwork with large illuminated K, and calligraphed words, based on the Morgan Bible.  Red and Blue with gold decoration, two houses facing each other made of brick and wood.  Gathering of the unbelted team led by Ludovic, with King and Queen looking on.
