Dead Boy's Game and The Broken Vow is the first book of Magical Rome Universe. Late at night in Magical Rome, an elderly druid plunges two baby boys into a cauldron bubbling with a mysterious potion. One boy is alive; the other, dead. Instantly, a spectacular magic begins inside the cauldron - life diffuses from the living boy to the dead. Thirty-seven years pass … and the two boys, oblivious of their magical past, grow up believing that their beloved Rome will outlive time itself. But when the ancient powers commanding their bygone adventure come calling, carnage rains upon the great city. And our heroes' lives intertwine once again. Will the two men defend the city of their birth or hurl Rome into a never-ending abyss? Thirty-seven years after a feat of impossible magic, a deadly game begins in Magical Rome.

Love at the Speed of Light is a collection of poems for people who believe in love.Love is a paradoxical power that can explode in a Big Bang and evolve at the speed of light-or it can silently brighten the nights like stars burning for billions of years. There is a hypnotic magic in losing oneself in the thoughts of one's beloved.The verses in this book speak of this magic. They also explore the feelings of unrequited love, or how lovers sustain themselves when the world tears them apart, and about mistakes made in rash moments that the heartbroken lovers come to regret.This book explores a range of emotions felt by young lovers-from the all-consuming epic thrill of experiencing first love, to the heart-wrenching pain of separation and loss. There's also the bittersweet pain of long distance love, where the pangs of parting are offset by the anticipation of meeting again. If you've ever been in love, these poems will make your heart sing and take you on a journey to experience the highs and lows of love.

Destiny is a journey, not a finish-line. A warrior designs his destiny with each step along his path.I have fought pirates on the choppy waters of the Mediterranean Sea. I have wept beside the statue of Alexander, in Hispania. I have risen from defeat at the hands of Pompey, who was once my friend.On the muddy banks of the Rubicon, I have made a difficult decision for a unique problem-just like you might be facing today.But guess what? You don't need a herculean physique to fight the battles of life. And you don't need a famous father or mountains of sestertii. Just like I didn't need them in ancient times to blaze a trail for Roman emperors, you don't need them, even today.All you need is grit-never letting self-doubt crush your spirit, even in the face of overwhelming odds.Journey with me as we battle foes on land, on sea-and in life, at times victorious, at others crying in frustration, but always gaining clarity about our destiny, and striving towards it. Along this road, feel free to pick up skills that made me who I am.Caesar: Escapades in Rome is not a book about Roman history; instead, it is a chronicle of my non-stop adventures through Ancient Rome.
