2022 READERS' FAVORITE SILVER MEDAL WINNER
AN INDIEBRAG MEDALLION HONOREE
Book 1 of the Roma Amor saga. Ordered home from the legions by his ambitious father, Marcus Carinna is charged with serving the idolized princeling who was once his brother’s closest friend.
Conspiracy, betrayal, and malice ensnare him as he struggles to atone for his brother’s treason, while hiding his own infatuation with a vengeful Germanic hostage girl. Most ominous of all, the new master of Rome, to whom Marcus now owes obedience, is the friend who let his brother die: Caligula Caesar.
Amber Road
A Novel of Love and Betrayal on the Roman Frontier
AN INDIEBRAG MEDALLION HONOREE
Book 2 of the Roma Amor saga. They call it a road, this rutted track that meanders to the northern sea where amber is found. To ex-tribune Marcus Carinna, it’s a leap from Rome’s frontier into a wilderness of hostile barbarians, beasts, and spirits.
Yet the Amber Road is the trail he must follow to find Aurima, the Germanic priestess who may help him restore his blackened honor—if he can escape her malevolent father and the imperial agents pursuing him.
Book III in the “Roma” trilogy is underway!
Alas, the promised prequel to the two existing “Roma Amor” novels won’t be coming along anytime soon. Teenage Marcus and his friend Silius, his parents and his loyal Phormio became duly embroiled in a plot against the emperor Tiberius in Fortuna’s Wheel, but I grew impatient to learn what will happen eight years later.
So, the good news is that Book III in the trilogy is now in the works! In Book II (Amber Road), Marcus and his beloved Aurima paid a frightful cost to secure a truce between Rome and the belligerent Marcomanni. The question now is whether they'll be able to settle down and raise grapes and horses on a farm in peaceful southern Gaul. I’m looking forward to finding out what happens. Stick with me!
