A contemporary thriller set in ancient Rome and Egypt? Will there be, like, a Starbucks in one corner of the Forum? Queen singing 'We Are the Champions' in the Colosseum? No, wait, don't tell me. Let me fantasize. I'm so happy you got bitch slapped!

We may not have a clue why we believe we've got the stuff to do something radically different. And yet we're stunned by the beauty of not being completely in charge.<br /><br />Val, bless you. Ironically, I just came across that quote about Caesar two nights ago. In that respect he seems to have surpassed the President/PM in House of Cards. glitter noirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728649916344336118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-39305248892719335062015-03-12T16:23:53.177+00:002015-03-12T16:23:53.177+00:00I like those fast and furious books Reb!

I don't think that there's necessarily anything wrong with writing specifically for the market, but if we're driven solely by financial imperatives then I can't help but think that we're missing out on something. Others think differently, no doubt ... Oh well. We all need a good bitch slap sometimes, anyway!Mari Biellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221256993468150226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-7391763993076895432015-03-12T12:35:43.126+00:002015-03-12T12:35:43.126+00:00Thanks, Bill.

Will we have Mark Antony saying 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen, this was one cool dude'? (Forgive me if I'm getting the terminology wrong.) Sounds fascinating, Reb.
