If you know me, you know I love Rome, it features in my books a little, too 🫣.

Here is a rendering of Rome in 4 AD from two angles. One from across the Tiber, with the Colosseum upper right, then a Google Earth of the similar area today. The other shows 4 AD from another angle

Not all vampires drink blood.

Some drain your energy with a touch—leaving nothing but flesh and bone.

At first glance, Cat Court seems like an ordinary children’s picture book about naughty cats. But what M.A. Quigley has done here is more layered than a cat’s mood swing. This isn’t a mere tale about felines being silly—it’s a subtle, structured classroom.

Not a complete list, but if you could only choose one Discworld book from the fantasy GOAT, Sir Terry of Pratchett, which would it be?

I’d go for The Light Fantastic, although anything with Rincewind is close

I started writing Erased after years of frustration with the direction of our world.

Feeling like people were blind to the truth.

This is by far one of the best compliments from a reader so far. She understood what Erased is.

After 4 years of hard work, I’m sinfully pleased that publication of my graphic novel BLACK TIES – IN GODS WE TRUST is approaching.

Gods. Oversized egos. Structural rot with a halo.
