Gordopolis 28 Report post Posted September 7, 2022 Every Wednesday, I auction off a rareΒ historical fiction novel with all proceeds going to Myeloma UK, the blood cancer charity. When I say 'rare' novels, I mean a combination of first edition/limited edition, signed, dated, dedicated by the author (to you), numbered, stamped etc. SoundsΒ good? If so, I plan to post any Roman themed auctions on this thread, so you guys have the option to bid if you wish (or just follow the bidding action!) And this week, it just so happens that we have a ππππππ paperback of πππ πππ πππππππ ππππ by the brilliant π.π. ππ π πππππππ! Fancy bidding to make this signed volume yours? Simply lodge your bid as a comment on the main auction thread (hosted on my Facebook page): https://www.facebook.com/GordonDohertyAuthor/posts/pfbid0J2VKKMgLUVCj9Y5Qo1uXCTzwYNahddinfgkS7UUFsC1HDZU4xkb9DmS8J8Jt4fdtl You'll also see the auction rules and terms on there too. Good luck!Β π Β Quote Β The central character of this book has no name. Almost forgotten by history she might have passed into obscurity, just another slave at the court of Herod the Great. But Loshema (no name) has a talent for storytelling. Hidden in the shadows she charts Herodβs rise from man to king, and from king to monster. But Loshema is far from the usual kind of narrator. At times she talks directly to the reader, drawing them into the fascinating and dangerous world of Jerusalem over two millennia ago, a world populated with the great names of the time, Mark Antony, Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Octavian β¦ As she reaches maturity, Loshema can no longer be a passive observer, but finds herself entangled with the highest levels of intrigue. And as paranoia begins to destroy Herodβs kingdom, she suddenly finds herself wielding power over who will live and who will die. (This book is based on the accounts in Josephus, not the gospel of Matthew.) βMany innocents will die before this story is over. Just not the ones you were expecting. And the son of God has less to fear in this world than the sons of man. But why waste time? We both know why you are here. You want to see the monster.β Β Β Β Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
