#WordWeavers Day 23: What comforts your antagonists?
For Stephanus, it's the idea of revenge on anyone who has ever looked down on him or denied him something he wants. Especially when what he wants is Drusilla.

This was one of the most fascinating factoids I picked up while researching #PompeiiFire. #historicalfiction #indieauthor #books #awardwinning #novella
A tiny gladiator figurine was used as a handle on a 2,000-year-old copper folding knife found in an English river, suggesting that popular fascination with the ancient fighters reached the edges of the empire

Have you written sections where the action occurs against the clock? How did you do it?
I wrote a book set in #pompeii
'Nuf said. ;-)
#WordWeavers November 10. Do your characters eat any unusual food?
Oh, yeah they do. #PompeiiFire is set in the ancient #Roman world. Gladiators' posca? Vinegar water with fireplace ash (not kidding). And that's just one example.

Time to talk about my latest release! #PompeiiFire is a #dualtimeline #HistoricalFiction #novella of which I am very proud. Researched in person just before the pandemic and released in August of this year, the book has already garnered three awards.

#WordWeavers Do films or theatre play a role in your story?
Absolutely. In #PompeiiFire, Drusilla and Suetonius attend a production of Plautus' "Pseudolas." It gave me an opportunity to talk about social mores in ancient Roman society; men and women were not seated together at most entertainments.
