Over the weekend I received a scattergun e-mail from Steven Saylor regarding his latest book:

Should be out in Kindle and other e formats very quickly. Thanks for asking.

Subject: EMPIRE arrives August 31!

Dear Friends of Gordianus,

EMPIRE is almost here! Publication date in the US is August 31, next Tuesday.

[cid:60E19E45-E53B-4D28-AA20-5E58F271F886]

EMPIRE is a follow-up to ROMA, my family saga about the first 1000 years of Rome. This time I follow the fortunes of the Pinarius family from the first emperor, Augustus, to the height of empire under Hadrian...with all the infamous, crazy emperors along the way (Nero, Caligula, Domitian), the eruption of Vesuvius, the stupendous opening games of the Colosseum, and much more. You can read more details at my Web site: http://www.stevensaylor.com/

(I've also posted public appearances at my site, but I'm afraid my touring will be very limited—mostly Austin and the San Francisco Bay Area.)

If lots of readers buy EMPIRE the first week it's out (either at your favorite bookshop or at Amazon), maybe we can nudge this book a bit higher on the New York Times list!

Here's an Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ensaylorwebsA/

Many thanks for your continuing interest in my stories about Ancient Rome.

Onward!

Steven

That's very good news; I really enjoyed "Roma".

I did too Harry. Actually I've enjoyed all of Saylor's books, especially A Twist at the End, a novel of O. Henry, which takes place in 1885, Austin TX; a far cry from ancient Rome.
