A History Sadly Afflicted by Bastards, Villains, and Fools

I'm still working on the sequel to Good Trooper Gilda, but while you're waiting, one of my editors wrote a one-shot set in one of the more excessively colorful episodes of the history of woeful Trottingham: Schooled In Warfare. Known during his lifetime as Grosvenor the Bold, today scholars are more inclined to use epithets such as 'The Unready', 'The Rash', or 'The Reckless'. His life spanned the Duchy of Trottingham's era of glory, and his exploits dominated that brief thalassocratic period before his drafts on his Duke's name exceeded the city-state's collective martial credit.

As Galon the Wise is reputed to have said, call no tom happy until he is dead.

The Peter Principle affected armies since the invention of the army. It seems to be a given that if you have a great general, the command structure is riddled with holes, and if you have a lousy general, the underlings band together for survival so they can pull off amazing successes that the previous great general can't.

Take your time when hashing out the sequel. A rushed product is rarely a complete or satisfactory one.

Is it bad that, no matter how much I liked GTG, I'd still prefer you continued Those Who Ride before you wrote a sequel?

Will still read it no matter what, though
