The compelling story of Carcassonne is a fictional rendition of the extraordinary crusade against the Cathars living in the Languedoc in Southern France. The year is 1209. Pope Innocent III called for the crusade in his Papal Bull of 1208. It is sometimes referred to as the 4th Crusade. It was this mustering of forces that eventually leads to the Inquisition.

About Tristan M Armstrong (Austin, Minnesota Author)

Tristan M Armstrong

In Austin, Minnesota where I was born in 1940, I attended grade school at Shaw and then went on to Central High. At Central, I took all the art classes available as well as all the mechanical drawing classes and one year of architectural drawing. Descriptive Geometry also added to my background of putting pen and ink to paper. There were no computerized CAD programs available then. Upon graduating from Central High, I went into the military where my one real accomplishment was to graduate number fourteen out of a class of fifty at a school for Non-Commissioned Officers. Upon leaving the military with an Honorable Discharge, I went to college and ended up studying and working in chemistry.

It was during the adult years that I picked up a diploma in journalism and short story writing through correspondence courses. It was after this that I co-authored two novellas titled: Boudica’s War and Carcassonne Under Siege. As sole author, I now offer Through MisAdventures Lurks Life and Death, which is a collection of 10 short stories encompassing various characters of different time periods sometimes facing severe challenges.
