Genre: Historical Adventure

TUMBLING ANGELS
By Antony E. Bradbury

‘Tumbling Angels’ is a story of human fortitude amidst overwhelming odds. This account is a tragedy of misfortune in which two young Frenchmen struggling with the interminable realities that life thrusts upon them tell their story. These tales blend violently together to finish this dramatic adventure.

The year is 1065. The place: a small village somewhere in Northern France. Alan and his brother, Philippe, lose their farm to raiding Normans. Destitute, they set out to seek work. They are literate and this skill brings them a lucky break, but all is not as it seems.

TUMBLING ANGELS
England, June 10, 1110
(A small secluded village somewhere in the south of England)
The birds sang merrily that warm hazy morning, as if rejoicing in some magnificent event, which only they knew. A robin fluttered down from the tall apple tree to then perch upon the open windowsill of a small thatched dwelling.
The proud-winged creature, with its bright red breast, worn as if a medal, hopped down onto a small oak table next to the bed. It looked about the bedchamber, chirped, ruffled its fine plumage and fluttered to the bedpost beside Philippe’s head.
Poppa smiled at the bird, then gazed lovingly into the face of her sleeping father, Philippe Domfront. He was just a few days away from his seventy-ninth birthday. She had never forgotten each families anniversaries or those of their children.
Philippe opened his eyes to gaze at his red-breasted friend staring down at him.
"Thora and Alan. They’re waiting for you, Philippe," chirped the robin, fluffing its plumage. "Come along, old fellow, we have a journey to undertake."
"Just a little longer, old fellow. I’ll come with you in a little while. I wis

Chapter 1
Walking in Providence

I was sitting in a large lecture theatre longing for the welcoming sound of bells ringing that would signify the conclusion of the most uninspiring lecture on The Scientific Basis of Therapeutics. I sat aloof as the lecturer continued his endless ramblings in the most annoying voice that suggested he had a sinus problem. Every word he said seemed to slurp out with a hiss. Of all the pharmacy lectures I had to endure, this was by far the worst.
As I sat fidgeting with my pen, I allowed my mind to roam freely down the corridors of pipe-dreaming. That was the only way I knew how to endure ninety minutes of sheer misery; but my gloom was quickly followed by the welcoming sound of bells ringing. I began to pack up my books and hurl my pens into my bag as I attempted to make for the exit. My joy however, was short lived. Professor Schmidt, our midget professor with the world’s largest and most crooked nose, had other ideas as he commenced a new topic even though the bell signifying the end of the class had just rung. I sat in my seat like an engorged volcano past its eruption date. The flood of bitter memories of how I came to be seated in that fourth year lecture theatre came gushing forth like a breached dam. The coyness of the Dean had bestowed upon me an unwanted destiny that now confined me in a place I didn’t want to be, and it all started when he decided to use my class as a guinea pig for the first ever four-year, as opposed to three-year, class; Master of Pharmacy.
The great four-year coup was a plot against us - the unsuspecting and hugely

Thank you for backing Outside Forces, I'm so glad you liked it.

Do we need a further tweak to the OP of the Faux Agents thread so that it starts with:

If you think your book is ready for submission, our Faux Agents will... etc.

?

As long as the agent registers as a bone fide member, I can't see that any 'rules' would be broken.

A jolly good idea, I'd say. I can see it being very popular. Well done, Jack.

Just asking a favor,

Would you take a look at this book and then at the profile. It deserves our support.

Pals, friends, acquaintances…how are you? The Greenest day on the planet approaches; however, there is a day more important before Guinness changes colour; MY BIRTHDAY. I am sending this message to all my registered FRIENDS. I do not know if this was attempted before; however, I wish to try it now.
I am seeking, as a birthday present from you all, (check my profile to confirm date; 13-03-1954), a week’s backing for ‘Devereux’…please. Being Irish I suppose it is a tad cheeky to ask as we are a natural shy race…lol.
It is, after all, better than being a sock or having multiple profiles…it’s just a way of giving a small birthday present to one that you all like/love/appreciate comments from/think his avatar is cool…or just do it for the craic as Paddy’s Day looms…and it’s my birthday. (Comments and watchlists are good also)
Go raibh maith agaibh go léir
Or; mucho gracias
Pat
PS. If indeed there are other writers out there celebrating a pre Paddy’s Day birthday, post the same request…but add me first!
PPS. Please don’t be offended…someone had to try it and why not me.

You rock! Thank you for doing this. It is a bit late at the moment, so I will write tomorrow. But thank you so very much. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.
Best,
Maeve

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to say “Thank You!” to everyone who helped get Old Number Seven to the desk this month. When I originally came to Authonomy three years ago, I thought my novel was pretty good. But all of you helped me out in ways both big and small, and that enabled me to make very effective rewrites. I hardly recognize the book today compared to what it was back then. I’m grateful beyond words as I offer up ON7 to the Authonomy gods for review. If HC ends up publishing it, all of you are in some way responsible. I hope you see it as our victory. I know I do.

As you fly away to help other deserving authors, I would like to humbly suggest that you read over a few of my favorites. If you enjoyed Old Number Seven, I think you will like these as well.

The Fortune of Annacara by Kay Christine Fenton is a hauntingly beautiful historical tale of love, loss and hardship on the American Frontier. Fenton has the ability to bring readers right down into the heart of her dusty world. One of the best! http://authonomy.com/books/652/the-fortune-of-annacara/

The Cross of Goa by Laurence Howard is a religious-themed thriller that will surly give The Da Vinci Code a thrashing. http://authonomy.com/books/16306/the-cross-of-goa/

Last Tango for Che by Elina Castro Almeyra is a true story set in the hotbed of revolutionary Argentina by a woman who has seen it all. http://authonomy.com/books/33945/last-tango-for-che/

Snow Bound by Justis Call is a psychological thriller featuring a main character as unique as the book’s author. It’s hard to describe, but easy to love. http://authonomy.com/books/31436/snow-bound/

Last but not least, Tales from the Top by Toppy gives a dog’s eye view of the world. One of the cleverest animal-centered books I’ve read, you’ll love this one from nose to tail. http://authonomy.com/books/32444/tales-from-the-top/

Keep in touch, my friends. I wish you all every success.

Kind Regards,

Thanks Jack I actually saw the thread in the forums but I don't feel I'm educated or experienced enough to hand out a full review to someone so I have opted to stick with the format of the site for reviewing the work of other authors.

Do I just jump in as a novice faux agent?
