writing update, chapter 6.0

 I haven't got much writing done in the last week due to the hot weather, which makes it difficult to imagine I'm in Wales in May, but I've started chapter 6 in The Old Gods Endure. Chapter title: "The Town Outside the Walls". It begins near the burial mound in the cover photo...

Passing a mound of the old ones not unlike the one I had once seen at Bryn Celli Ddu on Ynys Môn, I asked Taliesin if he knew this one’s history, but he only smiled. “We are not going to investigate it today, Gwernin,” he said. “Better not to disturb… those who dwell there… in any case. Although I believe the local people still leave offerings for them at certain times of the year.”

“At Samhain?” I asked, and he nodded.

“Just so.”
