RICIMER is not necessarily patient ...

On the other hand, we're making progress.

It should come as a shock to nobody that the life of this one man is not going to permit itself to be told in a single book.

Rather than argue the point or write a massive missive we're back to splitting a single Story into segments.

The first one:

RICIMER

The Tears of Anna

(I)

ought to be ready for print very soon.

It's got some background and Ricimer's Youngling years. At the end is more 

'background' that you may or may not be interested in.  Gauge it for yourself, my friend.

 History has judged Ricimer - we have a bit of a different perspective of history from our own time, so we'll make our own calls regarding this man who seemingly changed the course of History all by himself. 

Of course he did no such thing - the 'all by himself' part of it at least. That he contributed enormously to setting (advancing) a course is without a doubt true. That he did it alone ... not true, as nobody has ever had that sort of power.

One thing after another after another has interrupted both the research and the writing of RICIMER. I cannot and will not blame anyone, least of all the Character Ricimer, for becoming impatient. The set of RICIMER books are a work in progress, but this one at least can be an introduction.

The Ricimer Character does not spring into existence out of a void, as Ricimer the Historic Person did not. We come into his story already biased in his favor because he's kin to our fictional family.

*laughing*

So is his brother Rechiar, but while we like the heck out of Ricimer we do NOT feel the same about Rechiar. So it's not just the family connection ... 

At any rate, being the grandson of our own Wally of the West (Mamm of Dunnottar's younger brother), Ricimer belongs in our Story.
