First the language capitvated me and then the people and the country.<br /><br />I kid him that since I'm English and Scotish that I probably have Italian blood (love those conquerers). I think you really picked an interesting time period because of all the political unrest as well as the morays of the time period. Your work sounds fascinating and I'm defiantely hooked!Jeanne Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05111451097520221555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155779105962796229.post-66819578683789624502011-02-04T22:00:37.709-05:002011-02-04T22:00:37.709-05:00Hi Danielle, thanks so much!!Hi Danielle, thanks so much!!Christina Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394771634788090193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155779105962796229.post-18555393613248608082011-02-04T22:00:01.519-05:002011-02-04T22:00:01.519-05:00Thank you, Cath!!

Since he was searching for his Druid princess lover, and there was a deranged High Druid lurking in the background, I couldn't refuse! <br /><br />That is literally what happened. I didn't set out with the intention of writing an ancient historical with Romans and Druids, the idea came to me out of the blue. It was only then that I began researching Druids, and realized we know so little about them. So the world of Forbidden unfolded through the eyes of my heroines, and I had great fun weaving in the magic and mysticism of their everyday lives.<br /><br />Thanks for the question!Christina Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394771634788090193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155779105962796229.post-39133575390330099882011-02-04T09:33:35.575-05:002011-02-04T09:33:35.575-05:00The Roman empire was so powerful for so long and i...The Roman empire was so powerful for so long and in many ways very sophisticated for the era even as brutal as it could be.gamistress66https://www.blogger.com/profile/15832851155052440683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155779105962796229.post-6521555576609411362011-02-04T07:38:33.686-05:002011-02-04T07:38:33.686-05:00Goodn luck with your book, Christina.
