So a quick update on what’s going on at Quixotic Raindrop.
First, I am working on a new novel, a work of historical fiction set at the beginning of Caesar’s Gallic Wars (58 BC), starting in Cisalpine Gaul and following a young Roman who musters with Caesar’s new Legio XI early in 58 BC. I am about halfway through my research phase and setting the timeline of the overall story, which may be a single novel, or may wind up being two or more (depending on how things go).
I am aiming to have the research and timeline finished by the middle of September, and will start writing the first draft as soon as I finish the research phase. Work-in-progress postings will go up weekly on Sundays after that, for patrons only, and will be posted on my website and linked from here. If you are a patron, you can use your Patreon login to access these posts (Patreon handles the login).
Once I start writing and posting that week’s work, I will also start a weekly series on Tuesdays that will cover some aspect of Roman history (in general), or may relate directly to the story (depending on the week).
I hope you’ll come along for the ride, and thanks for your support!
