The Secret History Blog Tour Has Begun!


 

The Secret History debuts in exactly one week, so it's time to kick-off the colossal blog tour! There are tons of reviews, interviews, and every giveaway includes a signed copy of the novel and an ancient Byzantine coin! (What could be better than free books and historical artifacts, except perhaps free books, historical artifacts, and ice cream?)

 

Erin at Oh, for the Hook of a Book! is kicking off the celebration today with a fantabulous review of The Secret History (I might have gotten a little teary-eyed reading it), with all sorts of goodies soon to follow!

Theodora Music Video!

Let it be known that I am forever using goofy history videos while teaching, usually to make my students laugh (but also, sneakily to teach them). My favorites are John Green's Crash Course and Horrible Histories, but I just found this one from Historyteachers on Theodora.

It's two minutes of your life, but if you want a down and dirty synopsis of Theodora's life (complete with the 30,000 corpses after the Nika revolt), this is pretty darn awesome.



Also, just a side note... 

It's only nine days until The Secret History: A Novel of Empress Theodora hits the shelves!
