Live Author Interview for The Roman Heir
The Roman Heir in Conversation
The wonderful thing for authors is that readers come from all vocations. Oleg is an IT consultant and developer of specialized programs and apps for business.
The story takes place in Ostia, Italy, and Oleg actually lived there when he was young.
Since Oleg is lively and opinionated, this will be an especially fun interview for me.

I’ll be talking about creating a mystery, writing about another time and place, and whatever else you and Oleg throw into the mix.
The Roman Heir, An Argolicus Mystery
If you enjoy the book, please leave a review.
I’m an indie author, and publish my books without the backing of a major publisher. That means no six-figure advances and no advertising budget. This makes it difficult to promote my novels so new readers can find them. But you can help me.
Honest reviews and genuine ‘word-of-mouth’ make all the difference. I’m not asking for one of those awful ‘book reports’ we did at school. All you have to do is leave a star rating and a couple of sentences on Amazon or Goodreads. Or a short review on your blog. Or tell your friends about it on Facebook or Twitter.
Let people know what you liked about this book, and why they might like it too. And if there was something you didn’t like, you can say that too: constructive criticism helps me write a better book next time.
But please, *no spoilers!*
