My years of publishing academic texts are behind me - many are out of print although of course they still appear on my profile.

I am excited now to turn my hand to writing historical novels - set in the early years of the Augustan principate (1st century BCE). The first book in the Quintus Roman series ‘Legionary’ was published March 17th 2023. Second book, ‘Decanus’ was published August 26th 2023.

Delighted that both have been bought by Tantor Media and the audiobooks are now available from January 2024 (Legionary) and February 2024 (Decanus). Matthew Lloyd Davies does a brilliant job of narrating.

Third book (Optio) was published in January 2024 and number Four (Centurion) in September 2024. Next in the series: ‘Scutarius’ (shield-bearer) is about to enter first edit stage before going on pre release on Amazon. Thanks to all readers, especially those wonderful people who leave positive reviews.
