Oooh I would love that, actually. The series I’m working on takes place in a power-vacuum setting analogous to the aftermath of that last Great War, and at some point we’re going to visit at least one of the two weakened ancient empires in their post-war collapse/transformation…I will absolutely be picking your brain about this. 💜
Wet nursing contracts are such a pragmatic approach. I hadn't considered domestic labor, particularly childcare, being transactional during this period. Fascinating! Thank you both!
I really love being distracted from my own humdrum writing project with new exciting stuff like Byzantium. I especially like the way the grad students of today are proselytizing about the complexities and incredible richness of historical study in places like Substack.
Great interview! Definitely going for a copy of Last Great War of Antiquity.
Thank you Tom!! Do let me know what you think of LGWA! If there’s anything else I can help out with also feel free to be in touch!

God that sounds incredible — can’t wait to hear more about it!!
It’s been really fun to write so far. First novel and a prequel novella are up on my page if you’re curious.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to let us know ✨
