I’ve just posted the second chapter of Tribune of the People in which Tiberius goes to the baths to meet with his father-in-law and other supporters to discuss his strategy for advancement. Before he can confer with them, however, he finds himself in an encounter other men on the rise in Rome with striking results.

I just posted a poem that I wrote several years ago near the end of a four-year drought. Of course, at that time, we didn’t know it was soon to be over.  It lasted so long that it completely disrupt the usual ways of nature. Not long afterward, the National Arbor Day Foundation reclassified Washington, DC, as a Southern climate region rather than part of the Mid-Atlantic. Considering the droughts that plague California and Puerto Rico now, the one we experienced seems to have been a  minor precursor to these troubles.

I recently posted Bad Guys, a story about a mob trial with a few wicked twists.  A script Jury of Peers eventually evolved that received a little interest in film land. You can read the original story here.

 

Chapter 1 of Tribune of the People has just been posted here, in which the women in Tiberius Gracchus’s life express their feelings to him in widely different ways .

If all goes as planned, a new chapter from this novel  will be posted each week. If you can’t wait (and I hope you can’t), both a trade paperback and an eb00k will be available soon from Amazon.com.

New stories and poems also will be posted on an occasional basis, so take a look and let me know what you think.
