Today the curtain rises on my adult #histfict debut: THE PLAYERS ACT 1: ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE.
These broken but beautiful players have been with me a long time. I've walked beside them, listened to their pain, chuckled at their antics and despaired at their decisions for many years now.

The only location I have written about in my novel so far that is still standing more or less as it was at the time, the Temple of Hercules in Rome.

"A powerful and intriguing story that straddles past and present, Mason leads readers on an unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness.

Highly compelling and darkly introspective at times, EO-N makes for a riveting read. Recommended without reservation." Book Viral

This feat supposedly had a testing stone. In Fotharta Mag Fea, there is a graveyard called Leamaneh. Nearby were the quarried remains of a large standing stone. The word Leamaneh represents the Irish Leim an eich, i.e., The Horse Leap.
