About the author
I'm a Scottish writer, addicted to writing historical fiction. My love of history was first kindled by visits to the misty Roman ruins of Britain and the sun-baked antiquities of Turkey and Greece. I write tales of the later Roman Empire, Byzantium, Classical Greece and the distant Bronze Age. view profile
