Book excerpt: WINNER GOLD AWARD Literary Titan ONE EMPEROR’S DREAM. ONE GLADIATOR’S JUSTICE Discover the secret of Nero’s spectacular Domus Aurea golden palace, only now being revealed. What is its connection to the Colosseum? And what is its link with the vibrant city of Pompeii, its gladiators and its total destruction caused by the eruption of Vesuvius? The amphitheatre has its own secrets even more spectacular. 79 AD. In the reign of Vespasian in the very heart of Rome, a huge amphitheatre rose that would awe the empire. It became known as the Colosseum. Born from the extravagance of the Domus Aurea in Nero’s reign and the Great Fire of Rome, its construction was paid for by spoils won in the Judaean war. Over the years, the blood of thousands seeped into the arena’s sand. And the people loved it! This was the time of the gladiators as seen through the eyes of Famullus, Rome’s most famous fresco painter. Quintus, a young man born free in Rome sharpens his skills as a Retiarius by fighting in arenas such as Pompeii, becoming caught up in the eruption of Vesuvius. Haunted by his mother’s murder years before, he is determined to find the killer and take a life for a life. He finds himself in the inaugural Games of Rome’s deadly Colosseum where he must fight for survival and the woman who loves him. Executions, classical re-enactments, beast attacks, gladiatrices and staged naval battles are held within the arena and the crowd is ecstatic. The Colosseum has it all. Beautifully crafted and soundly historically detailed, this is a gripping novel about retribution, love and bravery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I promise,’ Selene whispered, ‘that one day, I will be someone. One day, everyone will know my name.’ Pompeii. 78 AD. A distinctive, oddly-shaped building looms menacingly out of the night, squatting on the narrow laneway’s paving stones. The Lupanar Grande, is the largest Pompeii brothel and a place reeking of body odour, stale perfume, urine and sex. The prostitutes are the dregs of society, infames, but all hope has not been extinguished. Selene, a free-born street prostitute from Naples, is new to Pompeii. She lusts after wealth and fame. Ambitious and enticingly pretty, she is determined to replace the famous courtesan, Prima. She will be drawn into a Lupanar blackmail ring. Velina, a slave, is bought by the brothel’s leno and taken to the Lupanar with her best friend, Alexa. As slaves, they are limited to its interior and the outside footpath where they solicit for business. They sleep in their cells and are forbidden to stray from the brothel. Their leno, Servius, takes all they earn. Flora, independent and shrewd, lives in her own tiny, two-room house adjacent to the Lupanar. Behind her cerulean blue front door, she sees everything through her large, front window. She will save girls from prostitution. Hester, a shy, gentle girl, belongs to a small group known as Christianos. Its meeting place is located opposite the Lupanar, with unfortunate consequences. Lucius Attilius is addicted to gambling and women. It leads him into the Pompeii arena, where few gladiators die but many suffer severe injuries. He will find a love so strong that it overcomes even the sordid Lupanar. Their lives intertwine as Vesuvius erupts. What will happen to the survivors?

This is their story. From the sculpted sand dunes of exotic Alexandria, its royal palace, temples and conspiracies to the glories of mighty Rome and the dangerous secrets of Ephesus. Could so many major disasters have been just bad luck or was there a malevolent hand at work, pulling them forever closer to death and the end of their dreams of empire?

Book excerpt: Deadly secrets and fatal decisions, Marie Antoinette thought she took her secrets to the grave. She was wrong.

What was it? Colourful characters that filled Marie’s life spill from the novel’s pages.

Continue on to the filthy degradation of the prisons of revolutionary Paris and the faded glory of the Tuileries Palace, and share the lives, hopes and fears of real prisoners awaiting death in the feared Conciergerie. In the shadow of the guillotine stand other actors in this drama, Madame Tussaud maker of death masks, Charlotte Corday the Angel of Death, Marat, Robespierre and more. The gruesome tricoteuses knit as the heads drop and Sanson operates his Lady Guillotine. Discover the disgust of the stinking, overflowing graveyards and burial quarry which have now become part of the catacombs of Paris.
