Getting to the closing stages of A Land Aflame (Hannibal 4) & my mind is buzzing with ideas4 THE SECRET PROJECT, a novel I aim2start in Sept. Totally new time period. Amazing idea. Huge potential.
Can't say more, except I spent > £200 on textbooks just now!

Amazing! Sounds like the Trimontium Museum has come on a long way from 2004, when I was last there. Will have to visit!

Slipcase editions and regular first editions of Rome are landing all over the place. Some very happy readers out there - and pets!

Forgot to change it after Xmas, now can't be bothered!

The one man band has been going all day today.
52 copies of Rome signed, dedicated, packaged:
20 posted today, 32 to be posted tomorrow.
That leaves the 100 slipcase editions - still waiting on a delivery date for the slipcases. Thanks for your patience, all!

Ahh, I'll take that! Delighted you enjoyed Ferdia's story so much. /// Try Sands of the Arena, that's a standalone set of short stories and novellas (the latter will lead you into Eagles at War and the two books after it - when you feel like it, of course).

Great! Did you enjoy them?

TY, Stephen!

Ahh, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great holiday!

True!

And?!

Christian Cameron - better than anyone in your list, including the great Wilbur!

Go to Blue Sky, they said. Blue Sky is where it will all happen, they said. Everyone's migrating to Blue Sky.

Are they?
I know I don't post on here often, but when I do, it feels a bit like being in a giant aircraft hangar, shouting to people a very long way away...

Venetian Heretic has been out a week. And as I am a big fan of @benkaneauthor.bsky.social I had to share this.

Hi Steve. Apologies for late response, I haven't been on here much. Delighted you're still reading 'em! GOOD NEWS: after only 11/12 years, Hannibal 4 will come out May '26, & Hannibal 5 in May '27. Preceding both, in Jan '26, will be Cannae: The Longest Day, a radio play style audiobook! Thx - Ben

Fancy a slipcase, signed first edition of Rome, plus a genuine Roman coin?
There will be 50.
There will also be 50 slipcases without the coin, and another 200 special edition hardbacks.
THEY ARE GOING SUPER FAST!

I continue to cross toes & fingers that a limited TV series of our collaborative novel, A DAY OF FIRE, is really going to reach screens. Seeing my characters Sabinus and Aemilia live on screen would be mind blowing. And I am sure my co-authors would agree. Latest news--WE HAVE AN EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

We were well beaten, no cause to complain! Just do a job on les Bleus next weekend, will you?!
