I recently wrote a short story set in 39BC a week before Rome signed a pact with the Sicilian pirate Sextus Pompey in an attempt to free up grain supplies and curb the little rascal. It was called ‘Pillow Talk’ and as you’d expect with a title like that there was a certain amount of naughtiness going on but with the added spice of picking up vital if dangerous information in the local brothel, as you do if you’re a crafty spy.
An excellent article, and an enjoyable read. Thank you.
What a wonderful occasion the Alderney Litfest sounds! I’m very envious of anyone attending this year.
