Roman blood

About the author

Steven Saylor's fascination with Ancient Rome began at the age of eight, when he saw a censored print of Cleopatra at a drive-in theatre outside Goldthwaite, Texas. He studied history at the University of Texas at Austin before becoming a newspaper and magazine editor in San Francisco. His stories and essays have appeared in The Threepenny Review, the San Francisco Bay Guardian, and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. Roman Blood is his first novel.
