CSFF Blog Tour, Day 1: Robert Treskillard

The Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy blog tour is here once again and we are featuring Merlin's Blade by Robert Treskillard, the second book in the Merlin Spiral trilogy. Now, normally I hate trilogies with only three books in them, but, hey, we're only on the second book, Treskillard can write lots more if we give him the proper encouragement!


Our first day's post is dedicated to the man behind the book. Robert Treskillard is a software designer, Celtic enthusiast, graphic artist and sometime bladesmith. He has a B.A. in Biblical & Theological Studies from Bethel University, a school sponsored by the Baptist General Conference. So, alas, he's probably not Catholic. :(

He and his wife have three children and live in the country outside Saint Louis, MO. Which makes me wonder: does he raise goats? Chickens? Guinea hens? Does he want to? Does he know I have some guinea hens I'm willing to unload, cheap?

Here are some internet places to meet Robert Treskillard:

His web site: http://www.kingarthur.org.uk
His blog: http://www.epictales.org/blog/robertblog.php

His Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/treskillard
The Merlin Spiral on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EpicTales.org

Merlin's Shadow on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Merlins-Shadow-Merlin-Spiral-Treskillard/dp/0310735084/

The Fun Part of the blog tour is to visit the blogs of the other participants and comment. See which ones have posted their blog tour posts early and which are waiting for the last minute. See who has something exciting to say and who is afraid their blog tour posts are dull. And, there may be kitten pictures! This is the internet after all. So go and visit the blogs on this list and say hey.

The numbers indicate the blogs I have personally visited and commented on during the tour. 1 is for first-day posts, 2 is for second-day, and so on.

  1. Thanks for the write-up, Nissa!

    And though we could raise guinea hens, etc., our main love out here is a big garden.

  3. Raising Guinea Hens? Sounds like a story idea. Maybe Red Wing instead of Red Wall. ;D

  4. Love your humor!

    We used to have Guinea hens, noisy! And they didn't keep the rodents away. :-)

    Thanks for being part of the tour!

  5. We had Guinea Hens and old age or foxes got them unfortunately. And we can tell the difference there are so many more ticks!

    Enjoyed your post.

  6. Sorry about the fox getting your guineas, Meagan. I used to have a fox that attacked my free-ranging chickens every Sunday, so I shut the flock up in the barn on Sundays and didn't lose more birds.

    My guineas have not been gotten by predators since I let them free-range, but the prettiest colored hen got hit by a car. The plain colored guineas are all OK. I guess that's just the way it works.
