The Roman View

[ladyqkat.livejournal.com]

There is a new chapter up for The Roman View now. It is a bit early because this morning (before we took the dogs to the groomers and the morning was consumed by a small shopping venture to get some very necessary items) there was notification in my mail inbox that we had received a donation! The donation was from meritahut who does a wonderful Roman soap opera in graphic novel form - SPQR Blues. It has drama, intrigue, mystery, earthquakes, weddings, babies and bears! And Felix! Felix is a hunk! Check him out.

So, in light of this donation, I will be putting up a second chapter later in the day. And there will be a special acknowledgment for Klio (aka meritahut) in a later chapter.

This mornings chapter is XVII - Roman Poisons And Wrinkly Mutts. As usual the main site is Make A Wish Upon Tomorrow.

Obligatory teaser: As I advanced, dim scenes floated around me in a constantly shifting pattern. Watching these images, I began to recognize them. They were my life being played back to me by some unseen agency. Deeper into that darkened corridor I was led and a new horror began to assail me. I was getting cold with a bone deep chill that seemed to congeal my blood and stiffen my muscles.

ETA: As promised above there is another chapter up on The Roman View - XVIII - Roman Mutts and Parthia . . ..

And the teaser: The news was disquieting on all fronts. We had lost the war in Parthia. Oh, we had started out okay, winning battle after battle in the true Roman style. As our legions drove deeper into enemy territory, our supply lines were stretched to the limit. Then they were severed.
