Re: Child Prodigy, nucleus of novel

Hi Chris, Scott, and Marcus, Thank you for your interest in the novel. I just now deleted the file from the file section at the discussion group. I did not know about google documents. I will see if I can upload it there. Yes, i am concerned about plagiarism since I have learned that all one has to ...

Child Prodigy, nucleus of novel

In November, 2010, I entered the NaNoWriMo madness of trying to write a novel of 50,000 words in 30 days time. I have since changed the original 50,000 word novel into a first draft called Child Prodigy which I this morning placed on the Alexander-Macedon group for members there to find available to...

Re: New Alexander novel

HI Marcus, I have no idea if there is any plagiarism at all. I have had my computer hacked into for gaining access to my debit card which means that anyone could probably get into any other part of it if they chose. The article that I read listed all the areas of Alexander's childhood that seemed ee...

Re: New Alexander novel

Hello Marcus, I am rather concerned about this novel that you have reviewed since I read more about it at another site. I read an interview with the author who gives a rundown of the basic premise of the book. I have sent the first draft of my novel to Ann Katrin Mansson and Maria Dellaporte of Gree...

Re: New Alexander novel

Thanks, Marcus, I read your review. I will make one comment about this book and that is that the cover does not appeal to me. I hope to read this book sometime. Your review did help a lot. Thanks so much.

Re: something for everyone.

To make a long study short, I had received information from within saying to me, "you are Alexander". I had to find out if it were true and so read a book by an Englishman who was an Egyptoligist, Arthur Weigall, whose book I like best. I then hoped that my spirit guide telling me that I a...

Proper Address to use to address Philip and Alexander

Hello, I want to know if anyone knows how Philip and Alexander were addressed with regard to their royal status. Did one say Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your royalty, or some kind of designation that addressed their status as King and Ruler. I would like to know how Olympias would have addressed he...

Re: Virtual Pella

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for posting this virtual reality display of the House of Dionysus that will be seen at the Louvre Museum this winter. I enjoyed seeing the way that they are building this exhibit. I hope to get to Paris to see this.

Re: Teacher Seeks Help

Plus, unbeknownst to you, I am trying to wrap up my own book on Alexander, which is possibly for many ages, can't say for sure, as it covers a lot of territory, but since it is about his childhood, I am sure that some teenagers may be interested in it. It is pretty earthy at times. But you see I wro...

Re: Teacher Seeks Help

Hi Marcus, As soon as I had finished writing my remarks, I had to admit to myself that it has been many years since I have been in the classroom, so that I am certain that some methods have changed a lot through the years. I was very deeply suspicious of the original post since it was from a middle ...

Re: Teacher Seeks Help

HI Marcus, In terms of the Romans, I wonder why it is that Caesar is never called Caesar the Great. To me, it is all nomenclature and has little real bearing on the character himself, whether Alexander, Caesar, or whoever. No, HItler will never be called great. Nor will Stalin or Saddam Hussein. In ...

Re: Teacher Seeks Help

Hello Marcus, Kay said that her students were 6th and 7th graders and while your suggestions may be fine for a college classroom, I find that to suggest that they read any of the classics to determine what greatness means or whether Alexander deserved to be called great a bit too much for that age s...
