I’ve just published Where Do They Sleep Tonight?, a scene from Chapter X of Broken Arches, the first book of Romans Out of Time.
Rome, 1996. The morning after Carla takes four of Caesar’s soldiers home, her aunt Maria sends Luca, a local builder, to look at the garden gate. He finds Carla on the other side with a key ring in her hand and four strangers at her back. He reaches through the bars for a handshake. He gets a Roman salute.
What starts as a conversation about a gate turns into a question of whether the men are free to leave. I scored the scene with music from the novel’s original soundtrack.
You can watch this scene alongside Is This for a Film? and the book trailer on the Romans Out of Time Films page.
