Don't read it for the awards, read it because it is an incredible immersive tale that will take to to Italy, both past and present.

The yew at Muckross is one of the best examples of its kind in Ireland and is said to be as old as the abbey itself. One theory is that the courtyard and cloisters may even have built around the already mature yew which would make the tree over 600 years old.

If we are to believe the ancient sources, Roman women were either promiscuous or domestic goddeses. The real lives of women were much more diverse. To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay here are some of the lesser-known and interesting women from ancient Pompeii. #IWD

"No tree becomes rooted and sturdy unless many a wind assails it. For by its very tossing it tightens its grip and plants its roots more securely; the fragile trees are those that have grown in a sunny valley."
~ Seneca
Love that my ancestral 'home town' had such strong Roman connections, not to mention a rich 'Germanic' tradition.
A stunning #Roman bowl made of vivid blue glass. It was found in Nijmegen (Netherlands) in absolutely perfect condition - without even the slightest fracture or chip - despite being around 2000 years ago. An amazing find! #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #AncientGlass
Traditionally Published authors (no offence to other forms of publishing) how many novels did you write before you were trad. published?

I was just remembering childhood trauma. Who else remembers these films being played every year? Which hurt you most? Or did you not cry? #sadmovies

Another new find from Pompeii is a collection of small terracottas connected with the religion of the goddess Cybele. Here I explore what the rooster is doing in the group (clue: it's got something to do with Cybele's self-castrated priests).shorturl.at/lryJN
Happy Birthday to my protagonist Agrippina, who was born 2008 years ago today. Mother of Nero, sister of Caligula, wife of Claudius and great-grand-daughter of Augustus. Much maligned by history. Her tale is coming!
What a week... I got the job as Assistant Principal at my school AND I got an out of the blue ms request from the head publisher of one of the Big 5.

There are two trees in a lonely field,
They breathe a smell to me;
A dreary thought their dark boughs yield,
All waving solemnly.
