    About this ebook

    Birth of a Bully is not a pleasant story, because no babe was ever born a bully. It is learned. Bullying is not pleasant, nor good, nor right. It is mean and cruel and still exists everywhere in the world. Just ask young Cassius Gullus about bullying. He knows all this, but what is a boy to do when he has no other choice?
    Young Cassius’s father insists that he not let these plebs push any patrician’s son around. Especially a Cassius Julius Gullus. Now he must find a way to punish the Stephiano brothers for pushing him around.
    He has an idea when he sees a rotten carcass of a rat. The plan backfires and now he can’t go home to face his father.

    Ancient Romans and the ancient Celts are a continual fascination for me. I love them and the time they lived in. I've discovered how true my mother's words are..."Times change but people don't." This could not be more true during these ancient times. Thanks Mom.
