Nailing Your Dictatress
You met Julius Caesar and he's a pretty (and devious) lady...? Forty years before Caesar's fateful crossing of the Rubicon, there was another dictator - one who set the stage for the empire to come. A powerful strongman who declared himself the savior of the Roman Republic as he burned it to the ground. What was he thinking as he shattered hundreds of years of tradition to march the legions on Rome itself? What about when he sank the city in mass terror as he put up his famous proscriptions? In the historical record, we are left with only pieces of their story, meaning to really understand what he was like, we had to be there. Modern-day everyman Richard Williams knows little of ancient Rome or its citizen-farmers, praetors, or garum. However, he does know he needs to work three jobs a week to support himself, broke up with his girlfriend, and has died in a traffic accident. Therefore, he's rather confused when he wakes up in Rome two millennia ago and meets a seven-foot tall horned woman with massive assets. Despite his lack of knowledge in this regard, he's pretty sure that's *not* part of history. A very, very, very historically accurate retelling of the fall of the Roman Republic in a gender-role reversed world where the whims of powerful women move the fates of nations.

My life led me to the court of Emperor Geta, where I was just a shadow among others, a silent being at the service of imperial power. Everything changed the day Geta chose me to be his concubine. This role, both envied and feared, thrust me into the heart of the court's intrigues, where every smile could hide a betrayal. But my destiny did not end there.
