Hi!

It was only last Friday when you got an email from me saying I was still completely stuck on From Medieval Manuscript to Modern Practice: the Dagger Techniques of Fiore dei Liberi. When that email arrived in my inbox (yes I'm subscribed to my own newsletter: it's quality control not narcissism, I promise), I thought I'd just open the book file and see how far along it was.

Somehow that triggered a rash of productivity, and at about 7.30am this morning I completed the first draft. All the video clips were already done and edited (for the updated Medieval Dagger course), and the transcription and translation was already complete, I just needed to add the commentary for masters 4 to 9.

Beginner writers will think that's the book 90% done then; the more experienced know that it's about half of the actual work. But from here on, a lot of the work can be done by others (editors, book designers etc.), and it looks pretty likely that the book will be ready this year. Hurrah!
​
But I do need your help. There's plenty of book there, but it's lacking a certain something I can't put my finger on. So I need to know what questions do you have about Fiore's Art of Arms, and his dagger plays in particular, that you would want the book to answer? Please reply to this email to let me know.
There are no stupid questions. Nothing is too basic, or too advanced, or too obscure to ask. I may or may not answer it in the book, but I can't know what you're curious about unless you tell me.

So, my lords, ladies, and gentlepersons: ask me anything. And feel free to forward this email along to anyone you know who may have questions too.

I look forward to hearing from you!

yours,

Guy
