Here is a showcase example of how to start telling a story. I will quote from the new book by Paul R. Sellin Treasure, Treason and the Tower, that I received some minutes ago:
"A sharp medicine," said the last of the great Elizabethan heroes as he tested the edge of the headman's axe before laying his head on the block.
Now, that is what I call a head start.
I sure look forward to continue reading this study that I reckon will change the perception of both El Dorado and Sir Walter Raleigh, thanks to a remarkable discovery in a Swedish archive.
BTW, speaking about new facts, in case you have not seen the latest news about Raoul Wallenberg, read this and then this.
Love this! Professor Sellin was a mentor of mine at UCLA. I'm glad his work is appreciated. He's a remarkable man. I will definitely be reading the book.
