It's one of the ancient history books "The Wooden Walls of Thermopylae".I've spent my time since university researching,writing and teaching this period. There are gaps in the evidence I wanted to fill in and a fictional narrative based on the best guess of how events might have unfolded seemed the best way to do this.

I try to empty my mind and let the ideas gradually take shape. Then I pick the one that grabs me and work on it.
The second method is more prosaic; I research by visiting locations and read round the subject. Writing books with an archaeological base makes this a very interesting process.

I've just finished editing the publishers proofs of "The Wooden Walls of Thermopylae" the second in the Luck Bringer series. I'm pleased with it and think it is the best thing I've written up to now.
I'm currently finishing the third in the "Ancient Gramarye" series. It's called" Dark Coven" and it's taken me somewhere very strange.

I stop trying and do something else. Then I find when I go for a walk or wake up after sleeping the block has gone.
