Fall of Dragons Publication Day
It’s launch day, at least in the UK. I started writing these novels in 2012. I think there’s at least 2400 pages of material, and I could write more. It’s odd to say goodbye. However, I want to take this space to discuss origins and books I loved, not endings. Who knows, maybe Gollanz will…

Greece inspired all of my ancient historical novels, which are placed there; in…

Studying Fiore in the ruins of Mythymna
Ok, I admit it. I just liked the title’s sound. My wife Sarah and I are on vacation in Greece. Vacation, for us, means beaches and sun… and research. I write about Greece, and I was just fortunate enough to land a new historical fiction contract with Orion to write a pair of books about…
