The hooded figure made their way down one of Rome’s many back alleys, past small market stalls, beggars and miscreants, all of whom tried to speak to them, or thrust their hands out, desperate for the smallest crumb or coin. The figure bustled past without so much as a second glance- they had far more […]
“You stupid fuck!” Roared the giant of a man clad in light leather armour. As he shouted he slammed his wooden sword into another man’s ribcage, and for good measure drove his fist into his jaw. The other man fell upon the ground, groaning in pain. They were but two of several pairs of men […]
Titus Norbanus Nepos awoke before his wife, and spent a few minutes watching her sleep. She always slept closer to the portal, so she could take advantage of the cool breezes that took the edge off the hot Rome sun. That sun was now rising, and as it did the light grazed her auburn hair […]

Firstly, I’m not sure by what yardstick they can describe her as ‘fat’, unless that yardstick is based on […]
This one has been something of a labour of love, but it’s finally finished!
At last, a few days later than planned, the new laptop is here! It’s got some punch to it, so I can sink my teeth into my writing with more ease. I think I’ve done quite well using the phone, but it’s not comfortable, whereas typing is (at least, it is to me). I can […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
