Mortimer’s Wigmore Castle up for sale!

If you’ve read my novel, The Fool’s Tale, you know about Wigmore Castle, home base of the powerful Mortimer family for centuries. As castles go, on the historical-political map of Britain, it’s a biggie, although it is in ruins. It’s also – yes, really – for sale!
Maureen and Alan Crumpler, the English couple who took me in while I was writing The Fool’s Tale, sent me an article from the November 22 Hereford Times, announcing that Wigmore is on the auction block. Even with the current crappy exchange rate, you can get it for under a million dollars American! So if you have some disposable income, think about it – what a great souvenir if you’re a fan of The Fool’s Tale. I have photos of the actual castle somewhere, I just can’t access them right now (the above is the view from Wigmore into Wales). The sales brochure says Wigmore is “an interesting business opportunity, an historian’s paradise or simply may fulfill the the dreams of someone wishing to own a fairytale castle.”
