Geoffery Chaucer Hath A Blog Yes, folks, he actually does, right here at houseoffame.blogspot.com He doesn't post frequently any more, but the old posts are definitely worth re-reading. I personally recommend his take on sparklie vampyres and the Cipher of Leonardo. Plus a lot of Ricardian England in-jokes that you must be a die-hard Chaucerian to get.
