"I will make you remember me and if I cannot reach Heaven, THEN I SHALL RAISE HELL."
As a child she was mentored by the only other woman to have become the Empress of the Roman Empire, her great-grandmother, the infamous power-broker, Livia Drusilla Caesar. In due course, she was destined to become the only Roman woman to ever openly rule as an Empress in her own name. Her lifelong war of all against all was going to include history's most notorious criminals, bar none, with eternally familiar names like Sejanus, Livilla, Caligula, Messalina, Claudius, Seneca, Tigellenius, and ultimately her own son, the "The Anti-Christ", "The Beast 666", more commonly known as the Emperor Nero.
She could have had every luxury possible to excess, and she could have lived out her string at the summit of the most obscene levels of wealth and decadence, but she only wanted one thing and no one was going to give that to her. She was going to have to kill for it until she had it, and ultimately she was going to have to die for it in order to keep it.
POWER
Her name was Julia Caesar Agrippina Germanicus and Hell followed after her.

I'm a Canadian indie author who also has a straight job. I'm 54 years old and "Augusta" is my first major foray into the world of publishing my work. Otherwise, there's nothing particularly interesting to say about me. I'm a pretty boring person, really who enjoys living a quiet life of reading/writing and thinking up story ideas that no one has actually pursued.

I have added this series to my to-read list. I have always had somewhat of a fascination with Julia Caesar Agrippina Germanicus, especially how she manipulated Nero into power. There are not many books about her, the only one I have read is Mary Ann Bernal's "Finding Nero" which was brilliant.
ReplyDeleteMy interpretations are different so when you start reading my series it will feel like a whole new epic compared to anything that has been done before.
DeleteIf I may ask, what inspired you to write about this era?
ReplyDeleteThe short explanation is that I was plagued with an ailment that made doing my job a slog in April of 2018. As I trudged around my workplace the name "Agrippina" kept floating around within my bedraggled head. I punched her up on Wikipedia and I ordered a few books about her and her family. It was then that I began to visualize her journey and I began to have different ideas regarding what was going on with her. You can read "Augusta" for almost free on Kindle Unlimited.
