I am in love with your book. I listened at the end of the pod - twice! Absolutely riveting!
While I will definitely be ordering an actual book, allow me to offer a plea from the visually impaired community (raises hand), please finish the audio book. 😀
My book order will arrive later today. I can't wait to start reading it! I wish I knew earlier there'd be a unique package with a signed copy and the coin. I'm so glad you are coming back to novel/fiction. Allison's narration is captivating. I'm sure the audiobook would be a hit, too. Congratulations on your new publication, Greg!
Thanks so much, Paulina. I was hoping to have everything available today, but Mercury Retrograde decided against it. If you want to do the box and the other book, write me offline, and we can figure something out.
I will read this book! And it's certainly not something I'd seek out, but the excerpt here has convinced me that I MUST know this story. Glad I got that Kindle with the bigger memory. lol Going to get now, and this will be next, right after I finish Malcolm Nance's "They Want to Kill Americans," which so far, is astounding and harrowing -- people have become fucking nuts! Thanks, Greg, and good luck with sales!
Omg. The baby girl was me. I can’t even. ❤️. Your characters make thunder and lightening. You’ve been there. The delicious book I need right now. Margarit Yourcenaur comes to mind. Her manuscript had a suitcase journey for 10 years. Greg, this is powerful stuff. 🙏.
I'm the Trump of fiction readers. Give me a lot of Jawohl, mein Obergruppenfuhrers and I'll keep reading. Will I find that this is the sort of thing I like ? (as book reviewer Abe Lincoln once wrote.)
Greg, I look forward to reading your tome as I have always been fascinated w Byzantine art especially the mosaics which I would look at in my parent’s art history books as a child. Also, the appropriation of early Byzantine culture by the Kievan Rus a few centuries before your novel is set is of utmost interest. Congrats. (I will read & if I ever write novel I’ll expect the same from you in return:).
Thanks, Nora!
Byzantine coins. Norman coins look very different. Also, she was NOT a courtesan. She just looked like one. ; )
Thank you!
Yippee! It soars!

Thank you! I would love to be able to do a full audiobook, and hope to be able to.

Fantastic! We’ll connect. So kind, thank you, Greg.
Elegant and eloquent and entertaining! No more worries.
Thank you!
Greg, this publication must have lifted a heavy weight off your mind and body. And soul?
Of course i will order a signed copy.
Not sure what I'd do with the coin?
I'M not big on NOVELS but I'll give it a go.
It sounds like it would have been good had i gone to a university and majored in Literature and Ancient history.
Me, too, cal. But need to support our beloved Greg because he's Greg Olear!
Thank you!
Thanks, Cal. Maybe you'll like this one. There's a lot of fun historical stuff in there.
I simply love your feminine side, Greg! So how do we get a signed book?
Thanks. Please email me offline and we'll figure it out...the book is done, but the distro is a work in progress!
I used “gregolear.substack.com” and my email was returned. You have another way of getting in touch with you?
my name at gmail. : )
This is absolutely fantastic!
Thank you, Helen!

Thanks, Steve. It IS an escape, insofar as it's not about the here and now, although everything then was awful too lol.
I'm with the Major -- 700 pages of Olear is surefire 700 pages of good 💩
Thanks for all you do
Thank you, good sir!

Thanks, Jackie! Now I'll have to check that one out.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Certainly a lot of stuff happens. Maybe?
Huzzah Greg! Appears I’m in need of a Byzantine history brush-up.
No one knows anything about the Byzantines. Part of the fun of writing this for me!
