JAY P. NEWCOMB

I am a Messianic Rabbi and an avid fan of English literature especially Shakespeare. My all-time favourite Shakespeare play is Henry the fifth from which I draw much inspiration. I’m also a fan of the operas of Richard Wagner, and also of the Viking sagas which one will be able to tell when they start to read my saga. I have been a fan of history since I was a youth, and it was my avid reading of history that allowed me to create the Visigothic Saga. I am a poet that writes in mediaeval alliterative style, and I am not a fan of modern poetry and it’s darker themes. My all-time favourite author from which I have drawn much inspiration is J.R.R. Tolkien. I’m a very spiritual person, and a student of the Zohar and the Bible and this influence can be seen in the saga in the religion of the elves and if you read my stories closely you will find hidden meanings, and some things encoded in the text, but I’m not gonna reveal what these are, the reader will have to find these on his own, and if they never find them, they are still able to enjoy the story for what it is, a very good exciting adventure story.
