"The Light Bearer" book cover art

I just uploaded the book cover art from "The Light Bearer" by author Donna Gillespie and cover artist Steve Assel. I have placed the picture right under the "Blog News" so use the Table of Contents to jump right there.

I just started reading this book and it's an exciting story about the life of Auriane, a warrior-priestess destined to lead her Germanic tribe against Emperor Nero's Roman legions. She is fated to oppose Marcus Julianus, governor of Germania, and lead a revolt against Roman domination.

Ms. Gillespie has done a fabulous job of researching the life of the Germanic tribes and Rome during the 1st Century A.D. The book has lots of battle action, excellent characterization and settings, plus some romantic scenes. It's quite a tome at almost 800 pages but you won't be able to put it down.

I bought the book on Amazon.com for less than $10 new so you can still get a good deal there while the copies last. I hope you enjoy the cover art as it was a bit of work finding it in decent resolution and also that several book covers were used.

"Wolfy's Howl" Blog News

I recently switched from cable Net to DSL Net so I lost my access to my previous ISP's FTP server. Therefore, as my photo-stories and short-story libraries were hosted on the FTP server, I had to delete both libraries. I hope that most of you had a chance to read these stories. Sadly, I haven't found a way to put them back on the blog.

*** BIG PROBLEM:

One of my biggest problems with art collecting is authors not signing their work. While I sometimes use unsigned art, I also would like to give the artist credit. So, if anybody thinks they know the artist of any unknown picture here, please leave me a comment on any of my posts. Thanks.

Thanks to everybody for making the blog a success.

A Gladiatrix Speaks Out:

"[Men tell women it's not ladylike to wield a sword.] Well, ever the man in men! Let a woman know her place: let her milk and spin and sew and bake and bear children, not look upon her threshold or the command of her lord and master! Bah! I spit on you all!

There is no man alive who can face me with weapons and live, and before I die, I'll prove it to the world. Women! Cows! Slaves! Whimpering, cringing serfs, crouching to blows ...

Ha! You deny me a place among men? By God, I'll live as I please and die as God wills, but if I'm not fit to be a man's comrade, at least I'll be no man's mistress."
