“Does the good Senator Metellus wish to address these accusations before the Senate considers it’s next actions?” Asked Rufus. Caius, doing his level best to appear in control, stood. He smiled, trying his best to appear humoured by it all. “Good senators, what we have here is a desperate act on the part of desperate […]
“You will never triumph!” Caius screamed, swinging the burning torch at Nepos’ face. The younger man ducked and Caius kicked out, catching Nepos in the thigh. They both stumbled and fell, and Caius snarled, scrambling to rip the parchment from Nepos’ grip. Nepos tried to hold on but Caius slammed a fist down into his […]
The sun was now low in the sky, casting a red glow. The few clouds that moved slowly overhead looked strangely foreboding to Nepos as he looked out from the balcony over the training sands. He sighed, wondering (not for the first time) what the messy affair with Paulus would ultimately cost him. Had it […]
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 […]
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...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
