 Heraklia I'm a corn-fed Missouri farm girl whose Oxford-educated English father made sure I'd traveled a lot in Europe before I was 20. With a degree in English literature (ha! all aging hippies in the '60's and '70's had such degrees), I;ve worked as a legal secretary and then a paralegal my life long. When I was 19, I was a nanny to a French family in Paris; at 21, I spent a year in London falling in love with English history. I'd always been a booky little nerd and, heaven knows, I should have been interested in the ancient world - but I wasn't. Then in the winter of '97, I bought my first CD-Rom game. It was entitled S.P.Q.R.: The Empire's Darkest Hour and, in looking for hints to how to play this (then, amazingly new) challenge, I found a small, deeply disturbed bunch hanging out at the SPQR-CD site over at Time Warner. That's where I first met Julilla, Livia, Senex, Barb, Skyros, Anticus, and so many more who are still around AW today. The rest, as they say, is our history on this site. I used to raise some virtual hades on site, but I had to be well behaved when I became a demi, and I've struggled to do so since 2002 ;) However, they DID make me the Party Demi, so I enjoy working on festivals each year with our various worlds. On the more serious side, hanging around with this lot got me interested in ancient Rome. That has led to my five web sites on ancient history, for which all the inspiration must go to Jot and my friends here. Julius Caesar: The Last Dictator Princeps: The Life of Caesar Augustus Feminae Romanae: The Women of Ancient Rome Undyling Glory: The Pursuit of Alexander Gloriana: The Life and Reign of Elizabeth I I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with several 'bare' Sphynx Cats and a very intimidated long-haired Chihuahua. I've wanted to be here since 1972, so in 2004, I finally made it! |
