I manage to write a little bit every day, and I have mastered the art of writing when it is not totally quiet. I have a new baby and a spirited four year old, but I consider my books my "babies"too. Lindy: Lol, well, being a mom and a writer is a challenge. TWL: Can you tell us what your typical 'writing' day is like? I loved my creative writing class back in school. I guess you could say that I was writing back then, lol. I just liked to make stuff up, so I wrote them down. Lindy: As far back as I can remember, I loved to tell stories. TWL: Welcome to The Writer's Life, Lindy! Can you tell us when your passion for writing began?

Ely pastored various churches in Kentucky, Virginia and the Cincinnati, Ohio area and hosted a radio program entitled "The Gospel Ranger Show" which aired across the southeastern portion of the United States. Robert Duvall's self-produced movie entitled The Apostle also integrated Brother Claude Ely's music on its soundtrack. Artists influenced by Brother Claude Ely's music include Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and others. Many Hollywood entertainers and musical artists have acknowledged their admiration and fascination for Brother Claude Ely's music and ministry. Receiving notoriety for his song, "There Ain't No Grave (Gonna Hold My Body Down)," Ely's musical style and spiritual influence still exist today among both secular and sacred music enthusiasts. Coined as the King Recording label's "Gospel Ranger," Brother Claude Ely was the first Pentecostal Holiness recording artist to be signed to a major recording label for strictly sacred music. Recorded interviews of over 1,000 people in the Appalachian Mountains lay the foundation for this 360-page biography detailing the life of Brother Claude Ely, the religious singer-songwriter and Pentecostal-Holiness preacher from southwestern Virginia. When Richard visits Gaunt, the dying man takes the opportunity to speak honestly to the king. When he receives news that John of Gaunt is on his deathbed, Richard decides to seize Gaunt’s lands and money (Henry’s inheritance) as further financial support for his war in Ireland. To make money for this war, Richard leases land owned by the monarchy and imposes heavy taxes. The king then banishes both men, Mowbray for life, and Henry for first ten but then only six years.Īfter delivering the sentencing on Mowbray and Henry, Richard decides he will go to Ireland, believing it is important that he lead the war there in person. Though Mowbray and Henry Bolingbroke are both prepared to fight to the death for their honor, Richard arbitrarily decides to stop the battle. After Gaunt and Richard are unable to calm the men down, Henry and Mowbray agree to settle the matter with trial by combat.īefore the fight, the Duke of Gloucester’s widow (the Duchess of Gloucester) tries to convince Gaunt to take action against Richard, but Gaunt refuses, since he believes his duty to the king is a religious matter. The irony here, as expressed in the next scene by Henry’s father, John of Gaunt, is that everyone knows that Richard himself was involved in Gloucester’s murder. Both Henry and Mowbray accuse each other of treason, and Henry also accuses Mowbray of conspiring to murder the king’s uncle, the Duke of Gloucester. Richard II begins with a dispute between Henry Bolingbroke, King Richard’s cousin, and Thomas Mowbray. |
