In the coming days and weeks I plan to start rolling out posts about my own historical research, currently pertaining to the Marshal family of thirteenth-century England; advice for writers and researchers pursuing publication in academic journals; updates about a not-so-top-secret digital medieval history resource project for the Pacific Northwest that I have underway; and more (I\u2019m keeping my options open).<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the purpose of this blog is to share information about the people and times I love to research and to provide tips and resources that I hope are genuinely useful to other writers and researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Who am I? As you may already know from the \u201cAbout\u201d page on this website, I am a historian with a BA and an MA in medieval history from Portland State University, but I work in the field of social service doing research, publications, and a smattering of other things, including taking the recycling out. When I am not working on projects for The Mercenary Pen, I do things on the weekends, but I am not sure what they are. Other interests of mine that I never seem to have time for, if I keep the list short, are archery and painting. Warning: paintings may one day appear on this blog.<\/p>\n<p>Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions about anything that appears here or on the rest of the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the blog of The Mercenary Pen!
