Musings of a Chameleon

As a Writer and Ancient Roman historian, I engage in dialogue with the past, and in that conversing and wandering, link the times and stories they tell with our contemporary age.

But my interest is not limited to Rome.

Letters from Time was created to step into various eras of history via the mediums which give us that privilege - Literature, Legends, Myths, Fairy Tales, Historical Annals & Treatises.

It is also the home of my thoughts on the world, past and present.

WHY create such a world as this, and what do I hope to achieve through doing so?

To give my work a Home. To tether it to this world in which we all live now. To give us a reason to wander away for a while to a Time forgotten or yet to be explored.

In addition, this is my contribution to reviving Classical History and Literature.

Join me as we venture down the road of mystery, intrigue, fun, chivalry, a little bit of dalliance, some seriousness, and most of all, a thirst for more!
