Tales of Yorr
(A Mediaeval Monk in need of a Chiropractor)
Ebook & Paperback now released on Amazon
What if Richard III was not a hunchback… What if one of his bastard sons was… This is the tale of Yorrick, bastard son of Richard III, hunchback extraordinaire. Scholar, poet, lover, husband, adventurer and warrior. A dab hand at Latin, he has quite a way with words, usually in in verse across a tawdry bar.
Not everyone agrees who wrote William’s work, perhaps he was inspired by a character such as this. Alas, for poor Yorrick, we may never really know.

Birth of Venus
Ebook & Paperback now released on Amazon
A flower does not choose its colour; its beauty is the desire of others.
In 1486, Sandro Botticelli painted his The Birth of Venus. The face of his Venus was famously inspired by Simonetta Vespucci, as were many of the other women in his paintings. Upon his death Botticelli was buried at the feet of Simonetta, his paintings forgotten for 300 years.
Victorian tourists rediscovered Botticelli in the mid 1800's on their Grand Tours of The Continent. Botticelli's legend was reborn, as was his love for Simonetta Vespucci, the great Renaissance beauty, fêted by all Florence and vied for by two Medici brothers during her short life.
