#ThursdayDoors #writingprompt #RichardIII
Yes, I’m late posting. I fell down a rabbit hole.
You see, friend and fellow writer Andrea Gilbey sent me doors from her “ramble” around Leicester (England), featuring her favorite historical personage, Richard III. He’s mine, too. In fact, he’s my imaginary much-maligned royal boyfriend.
She sent me these pictures:
So then I went to the website for the King Richard III trail, which has an absolute WEALTH of doors, arches, and gateways.
If you haven’t seen THE LOST KING, about the woman who wouldn’t rest until she had found the body of Richard III and cleared his name, DO. It’s one of the few Steve Coogan movies I can bear to watch. He’s lovely in it.
If you haven’t read DAUGHTER OF TIME by Josephine Tey, DO. Best. Detective Story. EVER.
See what I mean about a rabbit hole?

July 31, 2026 at 9:31amI love pretty much anything by Josephine Tey or Charlotte Armstrong. Armstrong is the queen of the everyday person doing extraordinary things just because not doing anything would be unthinkable.

July 31, 2026 at 9:28amIf you have Netflix or Hulu, I can give you a wealth of recommendations! I also read pretty much anything, so I’m liable to have reading material to suggest, whatever your taste. Unless you like graphic sex or graphic horror, which I kinda don’t think you do. I have nothing on those, because I AVOID.
