I was born in Arkansas, but grew up in Oklahoma and Louisiana. Coming from a reading family, I was introduced to books at an extremely early age and soon had a bookcase full of my own.

I was a child of the dawning electronics age, and after my military service in the Marines I began as an engineer for IBM and saw the birth of the personal computer – a time when a nerd, to use a term that had not yet been invented in today’s context, had to build one with loose parts and a soldering iron.

I have now read all of your books (so far) and am eagerly awaiting the next one? - I have read the opening chapter and yes, it does seem to be of a similar ilk. In the absence of the new book I am now re-reading them all again. I have read Simon Scarrow books and Steven Saylor books and enjoy them all but the way that yours keeps the language is impressive.

Anyway, thanks for the kind comments. Champion of Rome (working title) is almost halfway finished.

Starts about 525 BCE, which, of course, it about fifteen years before the Republic was formed.

More on self-editing.

I have been testing Grammerly as one of the tools for proofing and it is a definite help. Actually, a really good help. It is definitely NOT a "submit book and receive perfectly edited text in return." Far from it.

But, it will find many hard-to-see-by-the-author errors and the continual referencing back and forth from the text column to the suggested error lists somehow makes the mind reset and se Read more of this blog post »
