I hope to see you at one of the events listed above.
Meanwhile, here are some blasts from the past...
 |
|
April 2007: Steven’s ROMA signing at BookPeople in Austin was SRO — with Romans in attendance! These ancient world aficionados are from The Roman Way.
|
 |
|
September 2006: Steven played host on his rooftop terrace to Caroline Lawrence,
author of the Roman Mysteries children’s series (including The Thieves of Ostia.) Lawrence lives in London, but came to Berkeley (her alma mater) while traveling in the States. |

Halloween 2003: Steven (with Rick Solomon at right)
felt positively imperial when he reigned as Guest of Honor at a gathering of Ancient Worlds enthusiasts in New Orleans. |

There’s no experience quite like signing books in front of an Egyptian
sphinx, as Steven discovered when he spoke at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology in Philadelphia in January 2003. (photo by Rick Solomon) |

During his 2002 book tour of England, Steven was cordially welcomed by
fellow author Lindsey Davis at her lovely home in Greenwich, outside London. Their mutual friend, author Deryn Lake, witnessed the historic meeting. (photo by Rick Solomon) |
