Sooooooooooo, it’s come to this. The inevitable strengths and weaknesses post. *pushes up sleeves* Let’s do this thing. I’m going to hit weaknesses first. Why? Because I’m more comfortable in this arena. More on that in a bit. Conflict – I struggle with conflict. The first book I ever wrote had zero. Like, literally none. […]

Content Warning: Sexual Assault, Multilation This is going to be a real quick rundown because it’s the morning this post goes live, and I have a metric fuckton of client edits on my plate and a book of my own that needs finishing, so quick and dirty – not unlike Rome, itself. Things are continuing […]
The Aventine has gone to hell. Everyone is robbing everyone and beating the shit out of everyone and Vorenus is sitting in his bed staring at Erastes decaying head and grieving Niobe and the kids while Titus and Eriene take care of him. Marc Antony is getting ready for Cleopatra’s arrival, listening to Atia complain, […]
So here’s the deal. Jen’s blog was on hiatus for a week, so she was all, “Sorry, guys, I can’t do my Rome post.” However, we knew she was just trying to weasel out of work while she recovers from her Jamaican vacation. So catching her on a technicality, we decided to switch the Rome […]
Welp, Season Two started with a bang and I feel fairly certain I won’t remember any of this in the right order, but Caesar’s dead, Antony is shock and before he can quite deal with that, Pompey’s son Quintus and some of his buddies try to take out Antony, too. Antony goes to Atia’s. Atia […]
Pullo and Vorenus are getting their 15 minutes of fame for the whole killing everyone in the arena thing, but Pullo misses most of his because he’s recuperating in the hospital and when he hears he’s all kinds of popular, he leaves in what I can only assume is the Roman equivalent of AMA […]
Pullo has fallen on even harder times and becomes a mob assassin – referred to as mortality work – which kills me. In the process of doing his mortality work, he kills a dude in broad daylight and is thrown in jail which in Rome, looks like a cross between the sewer and an oubliette. Vorenus […]
Content Warning: Domestic Violence Here’s this week’s prompt: “This is where you make up some stupid excuse to leave early and stop returning my calls.” He leaned back in his chair with a sigh. I sat down in the worn, velveteen chair next to the hospital bed that was set up in the living room. The […]
Content Warning: Self Harm Okay, so this episode was utterly brutal and made my heart hurt. Caesar is making Cicero and Brutus publicly endorse him at the senate. Side note: It seems like moderate levels of interpretive dance are incorporated into any sort of public speaking. Even Vorenus does it while he’s giving impromptu election […]
I can’t remember if I blogged about it (because I’m clever like that) but several of the Bound books are now available in audio! Both London Bound and Drawn That Way are out at Audible.com and The Professor’s Student will be available, soon! And Jess and I are going to be giving away a set […]
