In your series with Peacemaker and Aztecs what order should they be read in, is Peacemaker the first in the series followed by Pre Aztecs then The Rise of the Aztecs? David from Melbourne Australia

Hi David,
Thank you for your interest in my books. I'm excited about it :)
'The Peacemaker' and the 'People of the Longhouse' series are not connected to the 'Pre-Aztecs' and 'The Rise of the Aztecs' at all.
One set of books is set in North America and among the Iroquois, the fierce democrats of the Great Lakes; the other is happening in the Mexican Valley, among the bubbling politics and shifting powers of that region - no democracy there, but a lot of imperial glamour.
But if you mean chronologically, then yes, the Peacemaker is happening earlier, much earlier, in the mid 12th century, while the Aztecs began boiling politically and otherwise later on, around mid-14th :)
As novels, all those series can be read independently, but yes, I would advice to read 'Pre-Aztecs' before 'The Rise of the Aztecs' as both series do share some mutual characters, even though there is a gap of about 30 years in between them and the main characters are completely new and independent.
Same with 'The Peacemaker' before the 'People of the Longhouse' series - another gap of a few decades, another set of shared characters as opposed to the prevailing new ones.
Thank you for your interest, David. Feel free to ask any question you have. I can't be stopped once I start talking about these times and people, though, so be warned :D
