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?

A scarlet stain on the pristine white marble with an imprint that seeps blood down the centuries. A curse that will not die and a forgotten myth whispered through the dusty veil of history. Lovers Antony and Cleopatra should have had the world at their feet. Instead, they were harassed to their deaths by a series of major disasters. Their tomb was never found. Where is it? 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: " In his first novel, Finding Marco, author Ken Cancellara describes how, after years of corporate activity, the novel's protagonist (Mark Gentile) has a personal "awakening" in realizing that his ambition for material success has overshadowed his need for happiness and a life of ethics and morality. Sun-drenched memories of life as it once was in Gentile's hometown of Acerenza, Italy (which corresponds to the author's birthplace) call him back to reconnect with his roots and with the simple life he had left behind some half a century earlier. In Acerenza, Gentile took the lessons given to him, as a child, by his grandfather and succeeds in finding a balance between material ambition and more reflective ethics. After long reflection Gentile contemplates the possibility of a permanent move to Italy. In his poetic and eloquent sequel "The Distant Whisper", the author continues to quell the turbulence in his soul, caused by the continuing struggle between two competing forces: the compulsion of a life driven by raw ambition and the need for a life framed by morality. He takes the reader through an odyssey of beautiful descriptions of the Italian countryside in places such as Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello along the Amalfi coast and of the Southern Italians who inhabit that beautiful corner of the world. While continuing to bask in this indescribable beauty, the protagonist is being slowly pulled back to the corporate life he had left behind in North America. It was as if a "distant whisper" was now summoning him back to wipe away the greed of its Chairman of the corporation he had abandoned, and to attempt to pull it back from the brink. Author Cancellara's recounting of the corporate manoeuvres to save the company could only have been described so realistically by a person who had had hands-on experience as a business attorney and as an executive for many years. But will Mark Gentile's soul finally find peace in the end? Will he return permanently to his place a birth-the place where he had his epiphany? Or will that "distant whisper" that brought him back to his adopted homeland of Canada compel him to stay? "Finding a balance between societally-imposed ambitions and a more reflective way of life is the internal struggle that more and more of us will be facing both by our younger generations as they become disillusioned with the pressures of maintaining career obligations and our aging populations as they enter the more mature and reflective periods in their lives. "
