    The Memoirs of Herod Agrippa II - Plot summary This is the story of Herod Agrippa II, son of Herod Agrippa I and great-grandson of Herod the Great, a story that includes such figures as Augustus, Pompey, Cleopatra, Jesus (who story appears only as background events) Herod the Great, Pontius Pilate, The emperors Claudius (born on the same day as Agrippa I), Tiberius, Nero, Caligula and Titus, son of Vespasian, Messalina, Agrippina, etc. It includes the Roman civil wars, the fall of Jerusalem and the year of the four emperors among many others. The story follows the ups and downs of Agrippa's life. When Titus attached Jerusalem he was still in the middle, forced to send archers to help the siege against his own compatriots. He was there to witness the fall of the city, standing on Scopus a hill opposite the city. He then went to Rome for a time, was made a praetor and helped Josephus write his famous history, a skill he had learned form Claudius. He then returned to the desolate Jerusalem where he died in his old palace which was falling into ruins like the city around it as his co-religionists began fermenting yet another rebellion against Rome. I do hope you enjoyed this first chapter. More below. Votes and comments always most welcome.

    The First Jewish-Roman War (A.D. 66-73) retold in a novel feeling. The stories surrounding Jerusalem and its final years are given as clearly as possible for this book, and as entertaining as possible, too. Hence why the book is presented in a casual manner, to make the stories easier to grasp than a mere formality. Learn how the Sicarii, Romans, Sadducees, and early Christians are involved in this war (or not at all in the case of the Christians). The book also recounts the lives of people before and during the war: such as Messiah Jesus of Nazareth, Emperor Nero, Apostles Paul and James the Just, High Priests Ananias and Ananus Ben Ananus, Governor (and later historian) Josephus, Zealot leaders John of Gischala and Simon bar Giora, and Generals (and later emperors) Vespasian and Titus. In general, this is a Christian book, which aims to put Jesus in his respectful place. Now published! Look up "Daughter of My People: Jesus' Jerusalem Destroyed" or copy-and-pause the name of the book.

    Claudia Solace has been fighting her whole life. When her abusive father dies suddenly in a car crash and leaves her to run New Solace Real Estate, the family company, she finds herself fighting a lot harder. New challenges within the company and within her own home present themselves, and she finds more battles to fight. With her father's best friend battling her for company rights, New Solace teeters on the edge of collapse and Claudia's sanity barely hangs above the water. Things change when Vespasian Graecina, CEO and owner of Argentum Properties LLC and mysterious foreign millionaire, steps into New Solace with a deal, his stoicism, and his obsession with Monday lunches. Claudia's world gets weirder and weirder the closer she gets to Vespasian and the more she realizes she doesn't know. Will she be able to maintain her power and poise to see the end of the war her life has been? Book One of the "Versipellis: Balanced Instincts" Series *NOTE* This is a werewolf romance novel. It focuses on Claudia, so most of the book will be less cliche werewolf packs and more office moments.
