My 2020 Blogging from A to Z Challenge revisits my best posts from the 2014 to 2019 Challenges.
A word we often see, maybe use. But do you know how it originated?
Shakespeare perhaps? Or???
In fact, it was a word originating in World War II and appropriate in many contexts. Name one use before you read the original post.
All the research nuggets were unearthed while I was creating the game-world for my novel ‘Wyrm Bait’. Those, evolved into my post-apocalyptic saga Gossamer Flames. And the research is ongoing as rabbit holes keep appearing.

I did know about quisling – but Shakespeare is so often a safe bet.

Shakespeare would have used the name if he’d heard it, EC, or Dickens might have created it – in another timeline, maybe.

Thank you Roland for this interesting post on Quislings. Learnt a lot, the meaning , the origin … have read Green Mars, blue and red too, but didn’t pick up on the word … time to reread.
Good news, my Welsh friends in the Dordogne have agreed to be beta-readers for your Azure Spark. I’ll be sending them the links (A to Z recaps from 2019, I think, is that ok ?) However, could you send me your email address, so that I can give it to David Llewyn, so he can reply directly to you ?

Thanks a bunch. Hoping you are doing well. Visiting from May Road trip blog hop.
Take care, stay safe.

Thanks for telling your friend, Susan. I’ve emailed you my address. The A to Z Azure Spark is a great taster as our my WEP pieces – such as: https://rolandclarke.com/2020/02/19/wep-iwsg-february-challenge-cafe-terrace/ and https://rolandclarke.com/2020/04/15/wep-iwsg-april-challenge-antique-vase/
I’ve missed the Road Trip this year – or will have done in a few days. Glad I taught you something in my Quisling piece,
