Nimr approached the city’s western gate with caution. There were several centurions, both on foot and on horseback, who were keeping their eyes out for anyone of concern. Nimr didn’t want to attraction their attention, even though he was confident he could slay all of them if he had to. He was nearly upon them […]
“Ha!” Marcus Octavius Paulus nearly snorted his morning kykeon out of his nose. The messenger had delivered most pleasing yet unexpected news and as he strolled through his villa his mind considered the implications. He also made a mental note to inform Vibius and Caius of this latest development. How do I manipulate this to […]
For once Stigr was not the one to travel to Nepos’ villa. Another servant was sent whilst he entertained an older couple with, amongst other things, a gag, a whip, and various penetrative implements. He wasn’t quite finished with the husband when he heard Nepos’ familiar voice upon arrival. He mentally shook his head as […]
Now that my Warlord story is done, edited, and currently in the hands of family to proofread, I am starting to turn my attention to my next story. The first two chapters (well, prologue and chapter 1) are already online – The Schism is the title, and it’s going to be a very different style of story, […]
Editing is a tiring, laborious process. It’s the painstaking mission to go through the story line by line and weed out typos, errors and inconsistencies. I already have the feeling that once I’ve completed the first round, a second round may be needed – or perhaps a proof-reading session from someone else, who can look […]
Covid-19 has been on UK shores for months, so, in an act of closing the stable door after the horse has gotten onto a boat and sailed halfway across the world, the government is now making the use of face masks mandatory in shops – having encouraged shops to reopen for several weeks, and even […]
After a week’s wait, Formula 1 returned to the Red Bull Ring in Austria for the second round of the world championship. Same track, same teams and drivers… surely a similar result to last time? Formula 1 is never like that. For starters, qualifying was wet. Very wet. Rain sometimes sees qualifying called off, but […]
The other day I downloaded a freebie on the Nintendo Switch. If it’s free, I’ll tend to grab it. This little number is a skipping rope game, where you use the controllers to simulate the rope. Then you jump, aiming to reach 100 jumps. All pretty straight forward eh? You’d normally expect a bit of […]
Slowly I begin my return to the working world, albeit my next day back isn’t for a couple of weeks. I’ll work two days in a row though, which will feel odd. I wonder if it will be hot and sunny by then? I’m not one to moan about the weather, but lately the poor […]
I figured it wouldn’t hurt to put all the ways and means of contacting/interacting with me in one, easy to find place – in case the social media links weren’t obvious enough. An important project is The Coalition of the Brave. New contributors are always welcome. You can catch me on Facebook. You’ll definitely catch […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
This meerkat gets nervous about a lot of things. In an upcoming Prompt, I’ll talk about tardiness, and that sort of overlaps with this. Picture the scene. It’s a busy London station, and you’ve just bundled off the Tube, and up to the main concourse. You vaguely know when your train is, but you’re in […]
