Writing Topography
I’ve just finished a new draft chapter for final Book 4. Since the scene is set in Rome, I’m comfortable with the surroundings and structures and views. I rarely need to refer to a map for chapters set in the capital city. However, the next chapter is set in Dacia, and since I’ve yet to…

Status of Sunday Snippets
Hi, folks. I’m sorry to say that Sunday Snippets are damn near impossible for this last book in the Dominus saga. I tried to post a short one yesterday until I realized it had a plot spoiler. Spoilers in snippets just can’t be avoided at this stage of the story. I apologize since I know…

Although ancient Romans did not have a celebration similar to the American feast day known as Thanksgiving, they did have a ritual to give thanks called the supplicatio. A supplicatio was basically a religious parade. Wearing their most formal attire and wreaths of laurel, Roman citizens of all ages walked together in solemn procession around…
