The Meigle "Caledonian Bear"
It may take me awhile to get to it (and to finish it!), but I plan a new book on "King" Arthur. This one will bring together my various posts on a Hiberno-British Arthur whom I've identified with Ceredig son of Cunedda/Cerdic of Wessex.
My old book, THE ARTHUR OF HISTORY, will remain available here and at Amazon (paper and ebook formats). It might seem wise to remove this one from sale or from a free blog site, but as it still contains what I feel to be much valuable information, I will suffer its continued existence - even though the new book offers an entirely new and different historical Arthur candidate. My decision regarding THE ARTHUR OF HISTORY is also partly a matter of intellectual honesty. Over the years I've never been afraid to change my mind when evidence or compelling argument forced me to do so. I do not plan to change that approach now. If some readers consider me "wishy-washy" as a result, I can live with that. There is nothing worse than stubbornly sticking with an invalid theory for no other reason than the desire to protect one's ego or scholarly reputation.
Once again, the production of this next book will be anything but quick. But if fortune favors me, I will eventually get it done.
