About The Plowman’s Plight by E. A. Rivière:
An outlaw plowman falsely accused of murder
An alchemist’s virgin who is more than she seems
A fiendish murderer hiding in open sight
Cathar country, (now) southern France, year: 1200.
When the woodcutter’s only daughter is murdered, the bailiff tries to arrest Bertwoin the Plowman, who flees to a master alchemist and his professional virgin, Flowia, for help.
Bertwoin must find the brutal killer while the grieving woodcutter, the relentless bailiff, and righteous monks pursue him. His search for clues takes him to the corpse room inside an abbey, to a torture pit near the Devil’s Doorstep, and to the accursed home of a heretic priest.
When monks capture him, wily Flowia rescues Bertwoin from the Bishop’s dungeon and hides with him where no one would think to look for them.
To save his own life and another life as precious as his own, Bertwoin must outwit this sadistic killer who hunts them . . . and who knows how to find them.

Author Bio:
As for myself, I live in a magical forest where mice claiming to be cousins move in for the winter then take the towels when they leave in spring. I am an award-winning author, a graduate of the six-week Odyssey Fantasy Writing Workshop, and a grand prize winner of the Sidney Lanier Poetry Competition. More than thirty of my stories and poems have been published, and Untold Press published my paranormal mystery, Magic and Murder Among the Dwarves. In addition to The Plowman’s Plight, I have also published a follow-on Carcassonne mystery, The Wrathful Cup of Scorn. Unlike many writers, I don’t keep a cat in deference to my mouse cousins and because I couldn’t live up to its expectations.
