Tarot Community Enjoys The Last Troubadour
"Kudos to Derek Armstrong ... this is a wonderful work of art, and I highly recommend it to all who are interested in the Tarot, in the history of the 13th century, and in a mystery that crosses many boundaries!" Bonnie Cehovet, Aeclectic Tarot Reviewer
Ultimately, I wrote The Last Troubadour out of my thirty-five year passion for all things Medieval, the Cathars -- and the Tarot. Tarot addiction, I call it. Nothing to be ashamed of. I've collected decks since 1972. The Last Troubadour is first and foremost an epic fiction adventure and the quest of the hero. In my opinion, any hero's quest, from The Lord of the Rings to The Iliad the Tarot archetypal Fool's Quest.
Yet I remained nervous of the Tarot community. Nothing inspires more passion than Tarot archetypes amongst those who live and breathe Tarot as I do. Would the community love or hate my fictional epic? A review on Aeclectic, the largest online community of Tarot fans seems to indicate some early approval. The review is by Bonnie Cehovet, a well known personality in the Community and a major book and deck reviewer in her own right. You'll find it here! Thank you Bonnie! I won't reproduce it here due to copyright, other than a little snip I'm rather delighted to quote:
"There is such magic in this book...it combines humor, mystery and history in delightful proportions" Thank you Bonnie! (You can find out more about Bonnie here)
