This is a portrait of persistence.
When I first moved to New Hampshire in 2006, I was casting about for work. Someone suggested I offer a writing course for seniors, and connected me with the Bedford Adult/Senior Committee. I pitched them on a Senior Writing Workshop.
They said yes (though we refashioned it as an “Adult Writing Class,” to expand our potential audience, I suppose), we picked a date for an open house to promote the class, and I made flyers, prepared a survey, and nervously looked forward to the event.
One person showed up.
But that one person, Skip Carter, had an idea for a historical novel about a lesser-known Roman Emperor. He wondered if I could help him bring it to life.

Great Read!
There’s a new book out that may be of interest…
Perilous Privilege,” by Skip Carter, contains all the elements of an exciting, enticing novel intertwined with accurate historical accounts of third century Rome. One could not find a more engaging book about this dangerous era of the Roman Empire when political assassination and intrigue abounded, amidst ongoing military campaigns, triangular love affairs, great rivalries, and the ever present victories and violence of warfare.

November 6, 2024: Congratulations to Skip Carter on the release of Perilous Privilege!
In the autumn of 253, Gallienus, a thirty-five-year-old Patrician is unexpectedly appointed co-emperor by the Senate, with his father, Valerian. He is an unlikely choice with his Greek education, sardonic personality and his reputation for frequenting brothels and taverns, behavior considered scandalous by his contemporaries.
