I write #AlternateHistory about a world where the industrial revolution started in the first-century Roman empire. In real life, I am a geneticist @PeterLenartj

[Roma Invicta @RomaInvicta5]

In a world where the industrial revolution started 17 centuries earlier, an extraordinary mind of a young barbarian slave may be the only hope of the Roman empire decimated by a new plague which spread from the ancient city of Seleucia. #pitmad #NA #SF #SPF #HF #STEM

In the Roman empire undergoing the industrial revolution, a young slave finds out that his extraordinary mind allows him to study and lead almost comfortable live. Everything changes when a deadly plague starts to spread from the ancient city of Seleucia.#pitmad #NA #SF #SPF #HF

@KatelynRaeBooks Thanks! Oh, and the plague I mention in the pitch is also based on a real-world plague (https://t.co/P5aBEgqjSB) just reimagined in a more densely populated and technologically advanced world.

@adamfal22 Thanks!

[Roma Invicta @RomaInvicta5]

@KatelynRaeBooks Thank you! I also like your pitch very much! By the way, as someone with a degree in archeology you might also appreciate that the idea of an industrial revolution in the first century CE is based on a real-world 1st-century steam engine https://t.co/vcMOacQVBg.

[KatelynRaeBooks @KatelynRaeBooks]

Amber accepted her poor sense of direction. Why not? Being stranded in 1177 Jerusalem instead of a 21st century archaeological dig is a good reason to question that. After all, if she can’t point east when the sun rises how's she supposed to lead a people in war? #PitMad #YA #HF

After his tribe goes into the war with Romans, a 17-year old boy ends up in slavery. As an absolute stranger, he will need to keep his wits to survive and find his place in a Roman empire transformed by an invention of steam engine century earlier. #pitmad #NA #SF #SPF #HF

An infamous pirate known as the Raven carves out a fearsome reputation in the Caribbean. Rumors paint the pirate as everything from a ferocious, wild man to a fire-breathing demon. But the Raven's far more dangerous than a demon--a woman hell-bent on revenge. #PitMad #A #HF #AD

In a 14th-c Venice ruled by desperate merchants hungry for power, Niccolo treasures his beloved, his family, and his fortune. But when all are taken from him by a conspiracy to topple the republic, it just might be time for a little revenge. HOUSE ARETOLI #pitmad #A #HF #MA #AD

@BrokenMarvels What a great spirit! I would love to get some RT support.

Image all the stories from the worlds where men and women age at a very different pace. Imagine a society where women lived ten times as long as men. I would like to write that, but I don’t have enough time. I wouldn’t be angry if someone else did though. #writingcommunity #wish

[Roma Invicta @RomaInvicta5]

For me, science is an endless source of inspiration. E.g., this article shows that the difference in the pace of aging of men and women is small https://t.co/0eZLz2jqkh. But what if it was different? How would it change our world? #AlternateHistory

[Roma Invicta @RomaInvicta5]

@carturo222 That sounds like a book I would love to read!

#Writingcommunity #Writerscommunity what are your novels or short stories really about? It may seem I ask for your pitch lines, but I don’t. Pitch lines are just an advertisement, I am interested in your themes.
