March 15, 2018 CE When Caesar woke up from his medically induced slumber, his head was hazy but the pain in his body wasn’t as severe. He managed to sit up to see that the room was quiet; the other two people were asleep and there weren’t any nurses or doctors present. Near one of…
The following is the entire conversation that I had with Vernita Simmons. We hold very different religious beliefs. It was quite interesting! Vernita, this is a surprising interview, to say the least. We’re on opposite sides of the religious spectrum. Your book, Capturing the Spirit of God’s Word with Vernita, is a thoughtful exposition of embracing God’s…
March 15, Year Unknown The breeze rustled through Joan of Arc’s short dark hair as she looked up the long slope towards the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. She knew it as The Origin.

He rolled to his side then threw up. People passed by him, shaking their heads, thinking that he was some…
I’m going to post the entire manuscript to my new work, The Julian Calendar — one part at a time. It’s only a second draft, so mistakes will be made. But it’s going to be fun! The Ides of March March 15, 44 BCE Gaius Julius Caesar stood in front of the squabbling senators. They…
written by: Tia Mitsis This time last year, I was browsing the books at a book fair, looking for some great bargains. I wasn’t particularly thinking about writing – my first book was coming out in March 2015. I was not thinking of writing something new. As I browsed the travel section, I picked up…
I’ve been planning out my next project, The Julian Calendar. I have a pretty good idea of how the story looks, over all. I know where the characters have to go and what they need to do. I even thought that I knew how the main character would behave. He is Julius Caesar, after all. …
