Thanks for your indepth and honest review. I think your point about my use of vernacular is an interesting one - and one where I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't. I'm grateful that you commented that we don't know how Romans or Thracians or Germans of the time spoke. Any way of making them speak is therefore inaccurate. All the novelist, in this case me, is to try to give the characters a sense of authenticity. For me, that was to make their speech gritty, profane and to the point. <br />Best wishes, thanks for the post, and good luck to everyone with the competition!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8976770.post-32093773454858326282012-06-07T13:37:57.050-07:002012-06-07T13:37:57.050-07:00Network blog follower (Literary Chanteuse Margaret...Network blog follower (Literary Chanteuse Margaret)<br /><br />Margaret<br />singitm(at)hotmail(dot)comLiterary Chanteusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618034360122552670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8976770.post-76749553489447120042012-06-07T13:37:12.051-07:002012-06-07T13:37:12.051-07:00Tweeted giveaway
