You Never Know Co-writting with Csteptoe
Co writing with Csteptoe Overview: Roman Britain, 43 - 410 AD Conquered for vanity, half-heartedly Romanised and eventually abandoned to its fate, Roman Britain represents a fascinating microcosm of the rise and fall of an empire. Why Britain? Why did the Romans invade Britain in 43 AD? Their empire already extended from the Channel coast to the Caucasus, from the northern Rhineland to the Sahara. The great age of conquest had ended a few decades before. Three legions had been destroyed in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest by rebellious German tribesmen in 9 AD, and the emperor Augustus concluded that the empire was overextended and called a halt to new wars of conquest. Britain was an afterthought. It was not about economics. Rome's rulers were already the richest men in history. Nor was it about military security. The Channel was as effective a frontier as one could wish for. The invasion of Britain was a war of prestige. The 'mad' emperor Caligula had been assassinated in 41 AD, and an obscure member of the imperial family, Claudius, had been elevated to the throne. The new emperor faced opposition from the Senate, Rome's House of Lords. Claudius needed a quick political fix to secure his throne. What better than a glorious military victory in Britain? The army was the core of the Roman state. In a few centuries, it had transformed Rome from a small city-state into the greatest empire of antiquity. Its conquests more than paid for themselves in booty, slaves and tribute. War was highly profitable. Roman culture reflected this, valuing military achievement above all else. Roman leaders had to prove themselves first and foremost as army commanders. And where better for Claudius to prove himself than in Britain?Complete

But trading one slave class for another doesn't help with the trouble that always seems to find her... Ixillius Traversi had been leading his century on a routine razing, but the slave he found imprisoned, injured and starved in the village is anything but typical. That she was alive seemed barely possible, and then she'd saved his life... and she wasn't afraid of him. He claimed the woman who called herself Alex as his slave, be it a curse or a blessing, but he still needs to know one thing: who is she?

Teaspoon of Honey
May Berkeley gets called in to get rid of a beehive and gets to know the Purcells, specifically Eugene Purcell, a rational and sometimes middle son of a viscount. While the beekeeping business develops, so do the two's feelings as they keep bumping into each other's paths. ____ A short excerpt: "Regardless," he added, "I'm glad you took those dreadful, aggravated things away." "Bees are not angry creatures," May defended. "My numerous bee stings would beg to differ with your assessment." She chuckled, "They are protective and will defend themselves, sometimes to the death. The same way you would seem to defend and protect your sister." "Miss, are you comparing me to bees?" "I believe I am, my lord. However, I think you are more of an angry creature than they are." His face heated and in a more hyperbolic setting, steam would have hissed out his ears. "Excuse me?! You do not get to come into my home and-" He stopped himself. He was proving the infuriating beekeeper right. Even the cat woke up. "Never mind."Complete
