- ⚔️ Please join me this Thursday for an online talk about the (Two) Hundred Years War with the Smithsonian Associates! 🏹 Link in comments!
- Yesterday I was writing about Shiloh. This morning Omaha Beach. Right now, the Third Crusade. All of it, strangely and concerningly, relevant.
- It’s hard to promote anything with all that’s going on, but if you’re looking for an escape, my first novel was just re-released. It’s beautifiul and I’m very proud of it: Julius Caesar is dead, assassinated on the senate floor, and the glory that is Rome has been torn in two... ⚔️ bit.ly/3MmhFCZ 🦅

- Gear Review: Grayl UltraPress Ti Water is a human essential, so a water bottle is a travel essential. Trouble is, water bottles generally suck. Too bulky. Too heavy. Too leaky. Too dirty. Too big for the cupholder. And, in many cases, too full of microplastics. Another problem with most water…

- “at the end of this long lovely book, I keep coming back to how compelling I find Livingston’s revision of how we think about big sweeping demarcations of time.” I worry a lot about alienating academics when I do popular work. Seeing this review from such accomplished scholars … I’m speechless.
- I love to see scholars working to lift other scholars up, and that’s exactly what David is doing here. 👍👍
- Broncos!
- October 29 I’ll be giving a public talk here in Charleston to celebrate the release of BLOODY CROWNS. Tickets available now! Below, a wee hype article from @holycitysinner.com holycitysinner.com/entertainmen...
