NONFICTION BOOKS

When the Old World Meets the New World…

If reading Debra May Macleod’s historical fiction novels on the Vestal Virgins of ancient Rome inspired you to light a candle and think of the eternal flame (why not? they say everything old is new again), these nonfiction offerings may interest you. They share the author’s personal experiences with this ancient religion and offer ways - some lighthearted, others more meaningful - for those who are so inclined to incorporate it into their modern life.

Book cover titled "The Religious and Secular Laws of Ancient Rome" by Debra May Macleod, B.A., J.D., featuring an image of a Roman senate scene with a prominent toga-clad orator addressing an assembly, with an overlay text "A work in progress…"

Although I’m currently focused on writing historical fiction, I’ve long been intrigued by the laws of ancient Rome.

That’s why The Religious and Secular Laws of Ancient Rome has been a work in progress for some time. I hope to finish it soon!
