Reading from the flyover states
Author Ridgley re-creates a compelling ancient Rome that draws you in and takes you for a roller-coaster ride through a part of history we’re so fortunate to have missed…a part where women are rarely more than possessions for bartering. This is a story of gallantry and love that keeps you turning the pages. A most enjoyable read with impressive historic accuracy.

A great read beginning to end. I couldn’t put it down. Villains that you hate and hero’s that you can’t help loving.

I love everything Ancient Rome and Vows of Revenge was a great read. The characters were well developed and the story contained great historical detail coupled with vivid settings and a few nice twists. After you finish the book, make sure to read the notes at the end – it’s a nice way to wrap up the story for those that have questions about the behavior or motives of the characters.

Extremely well written with an exciting and intricate storyline. Some of the language was modern and, likely not, period accurate but did not detract from the pleasure of the book! Looking for more from this author.

The best book I’ve read all year! The literary world needs J F Ridgley! I knew this book would probably be good after reading a few short stories from Ridgley but I didn’t know just how good. How good? Damn good! Get it now, good. This book is like a feast. I would LOVE to see it adapted for the big screen. Epic, epic, epic. Can’t wait for the author’s next novel.

FOR THE FAMILY!
My short story that goes with the novel Threatened Loyalties. This is the month for family holidays. I hope you do get together in person or by Zoom or FB but I hope your time together is blessed, brilliant and yummy. It wasn’t for Viciria though.
Viciria, known as the Witch to those who lived in Ancient Rome's seaport city- Herculaneum. What could have happened to such a sweet, innocent, loving girl that would change her into this severe matriarch? How far would she go to reclaim what belongs to her that Rome has allowed being taken from her?

Did a Roman Insurrection Anticipate the Capitol Breach by 2,000 Years?
A contentious election, a divided electorate, and chaos in a building dedicated to governance. This might sound like a very cursory description of last week’s Capitol breach but it would just as accurately describe a shocking series of events that took place in 100 B.C., during the Roman republic. As it turns out, the pandemic isn’t the only contemporary event with a counterpart in ancient Rome...
