Anne Boleyn – A Cautionary Tale
The Tudor period, and King Henry’s wives have been the focus of a lot of novels, movies and TV lately — some of it terrific stuff indeed. The Tudors was compulsive viewing, not just because of the costuming, in-your-face sex and titillation and the knife-edge lives those who dared played politics led in those days. [...]
Alexander Really Was Great.
We tend to let the name “Alexander the Great” roll off the tongue without thought, but there is a reason he earned his name. Alexander III of Macedon died on this day in 323 BC, after building the greatest empire the world had ever seen up until then. He was undefeated in battle his entire [...]

They studied the movie and everything to do with Shakespeare for ten very long weeks, to the point where none of them now [...]
NOT Going to RT? Yeah, Me Neither.
I actually am bummed at not going to RT. It’s my second year I’ve missed. Money is the primary issue – the conference is always thousands of miles from me, and it’s an expensive sucker to attend in the first place. But I have a ton of friends I only ever get to see at [...]
Finding Good Stuff On Twitter
I’ve fought Twitter for the longest time, because at first it seemed so damned pointless. I’m a novelist. I couldn’t see how anything worthwhile could be discussed in 120 characters. But the explosive popularity of Twitter, and texting in general, proved me wrong. I’ve embraced Twitter conditionally. We’re working partners for now. I still don’t [...]
