Resources, beginning with Rome

Writing historical fiction means never having to apologize for reading.

Well. Almost never. You also have to write...

I'm listing some websites on the right-hand side of the page under "Roman Resources" for those interested in learning more. Don't miss Andre Caron's models of ancient Roma; they're gorgeous.

The Magician

With a Roman father and Ligurian mother, Aurelia has grown up amidst the rocky hillsides and lavender-scented fields of first century Provence. On her way to meet the man her family wants Aurelia to marry, a druid warns her that she is charged to "remember the goddess's face." His words are a mystery. But then in one violent night of death and destruction, his prophesy begins to come clear.

Aurelia finds herself pregnant and far from home, consumed by the need to keep secrets that would condemn both her and her baby. Despite her distance, she also knows it's her duty to restore the goddess's shrine that was desecrated on the night that she became pregnant.

When Aurelia meets Simon the Magus and Mary Magdalene, her story becomes part of what will become the secret tradition of the feminine face of god within Christianity.
