It had been ten years since Alice had died and they had kissed on his balcony, at her funeral. But here he was. As handsome and sexy as ever, acting like a class-A jerk, making a mess wherever he went.

Alice had said in a letter to her brother that the two of them would need each other. She had needed Chris, that was true... But he hadn't been there. He'd left after the funeral; never calling or answering any of the angsty, grief-filled letters she'd sent him.

Or was it too late? * "For Alice, With Love" is a contemporary love story about betrayal, healing, and coming home to what you really needed all along, and is my first novel.…

This collection of fictional short stories explores one of the many facets from the legends of King Arthur. I have always loved the idea that he was borne of the war-torn era in Britannia between the Celts and the Romans, then the Romans and the Saxon. The Sarmatian Hypothesis dictates he was a leader in the 2nd century AD. The 2004 movie starring Clive Owen brings it forward to when Rome deserted Britannia in the early 5th century.This collection of stories about Arthur and his knights speaks to my fascination of the legend of King Arthur, and the theories of who he really was. No matter when or who he was, the values of leadership, and his heroic adventures are a constant source of creative inspiration!Quoted from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_King_Arthur), as a summary of Arthur and the hypothetical origins of his legend:The historicity of King Arthur is a source of considerable debate among historians, some of whom have suggested that Arthur was a mythological or folkloric figure.Arthur first appears in historical context as a leader fighting against the invading Saxons in 5th- to 6th-century Sub-Roman Britain at the Battle of Badon in a text written more than three centuries after his activity. He develops into a legendary figure in the Matter of Britain from the 12th century, following Geoffrey of Monmouth's influential Historia Regum Britanniae.Modern theories concerning the historical origin of Arthur include Dál Riata king Áedán mac Gabráin's son Artúr mac Áedáin in the 6th century, Ambrosius Aurelianus who led the Romano-British resistance against the Saxons, a 2nd-century Roman commander of Sarmatian cavalry named Lucius Artorius Castus, British king Riothamus who fought alongside the last Gallo-Roman commanders against the Visigoths in an expedition to Gaul in the 5th century, or an amalgamation of any of them as well as other figures and myths.…
