St. Sebastian guarding the room over the bath where St. Cecilia was martyred. As noted in The Sculptor and the Saint, even today he is always watching over her. #historicalfiction #biographicalfiction #writingcommunity #readersofinstagram #booksbooksbooks

This 5000 year old Egyptian carving of a woman looks like someone you would see at the beach today. She also looks like she is shivering. A great short story could be written about this!

The throne room where my Snake Priestess would have presided. Be one of the first to get a sneak peek at my next book: lorijoanswick.com #newbookalert #historicalfiction #writingcommunity #Readerscommunity

The entrance to the crypt of St. Cecilia's Basilica where her remains are still interred. Note the tessellated floor and ornate groin vaults that led to Stefano Maderno's vertigo. #HistoricalFiction #WritingCommunity #amazonkindle #bookaddicted #bookaholic #bookblog #bookblogger
