…and Historan’s Notebook has moved! (a good news/good news situation)
For those of you who wondered what happened to me:
After ten years and eight books, I finally started to get professional about my online presence. I renovated my old website and migrated all my blog content from here to there a year ago. I’ve been very remiss in not posting that announcement here earlier, but I wanted to have my email list/followers sign up on the reno’ed site. THEN I needed to find a good email list management site. THEN I needed to master the new software. THEN I wanted to have a welcome gift for new followers. THEN I needed to write something for that. THEN…you get the picture…all this while I’m still writing my books.
But those are just excuses. Mea culpa.
If you follow this blog—THANK YOU—you should have gotten a recent email from me telling you what happened and offering you a free eBook as a gift—a longish short story titled Angel of the Marshes. It’s a prequel from my Theodosian Women series featuring the origin story of one of my favorite characters from my novel Twilight Empress. I hope you check it out and enjoy it! I will be keeping you updated about blog posts, news, announcements, etc. unless you unsubscribe—which you can do anytime. If you follow this blog and didn’t get an email from me, check your spam or promotions folder. If it’s there, please “whitelist” my email address so you get it in the future. If it’s not there, go to my site and sign up for the free eBook and future blog notices.
If you don’t follow this blog, you should know that I will not be updating it after today. All the content here, plus what I’ve published the last year can be found at my website (at https://faithljustice.com/). Please go there and browse around. If you would like to join my email list, you can sign up for your free eBook there.
If you stay with me, I promise not to clog your email box with constant advertising. I will send the occasional email with special announcements about new blog posts, freebies/giveaway contests, writing news, etc. I’m too busy writing my books to do more than a couple of emails a month, but if you find me annoying, you may unsubscribe at any time. Your privacy is important to me. I will never sell or share your email. I use MailerLite for my email list. You can check out their Privacy Policy.

Free eBook: Angel of the Marshes
What’s a poor boy to do?
Angelus, the young grandson of an ailing shepherdess, is the master of the marshes surrounding and protecting the Roman capital city of Ravenna from invaders. But can he navigate the treacherous swamps of Imperial Roman politics? The Emperor Honorius is in a murderous rage. He’s executed his chief advisor General Stilicho and repudiated his wife, Stilicho’s daughter. The ex-empress and Placidia, the emperor’s sister need to get out of town quickly and quietly before they are next on the hit list. Angelus is the boy for the job and he needs the money. But can he save the two Imperial Princesses from sink holes and imperial assassins and get back in time to help his sick grandmother?
Angel of the Marshes is set before the novel Twilight Empress which features Placidia’s story. If you like Angel, check out the novel. Angelus makes another appearance in Twilight Empress to help the Empress Placidia again traverse the swamps—this time to invade Ravenna and kick out a usurper. This is his backstory. Enjoy!
