In five days, it is Christmas Eve. And yes, I know most of the world is focussed on Christmas Day, but up here in Sweden, it’s Christmas Eve that is the BIG day. The 25th is a day spent mooching about in pyjamas while eating leftovers… When I was a child, my Christmases were spent
Anyone who is a frequent visitor to this blog knows I am a big fan of Alison Morton’s Roma Nova series – alternate history at its best, IMO. Since some years back, I am also a fan of her present-day dynamic duo, Mel and Jeff. With very different backgrounds, theirs is a story that does

As long as I’ve known Alison, she’s been fascinated by maps (well, aren’t we all!) and how people travelled back in the good old days – more specifically in Roman times. It is therefore a
