Jordan the Leper

This is the newest release, late May, 2010. The story of a young man struggling with the horrible disease of leprosy in the late 13th century. Set during the rebellion of Simon de Montfort and moving in the 8th and 9th crusades.

Henry of Blois

Henry of Blois is my pride and joy. It is a non-fiction biography of Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester and brother of King Stephen of England. It is the first major treatment of the bishop who was a power player in his own right. Henry of Blois represents 23 years of research. The book also contains several appendices of documents, letters, writs, etc. by about about the bishop. The book has recieved a good review from the Haskins Medieval Society.

Landwaster

Well, with three books in publication, I felt I could finally call myself a 'novelist'. Landwaster is the second volume of the Medieval Outlaw series and tells the story of Harald Hardrada, who was king of Norway and one of the major player of the invasions of 1066. I became fascinated with Harald after many years of teaching a class on the invasions of 1066 in London.

Eustace the Monk

Eustace is probably my favourite cover of my novels. The artists for the publishing company got it just right. Eustace really lived, and was the first of my Medieval Outlaw series. To be considered for the series, the character had to have really lived, was complex enough to develop the character, and there is/was not enough information to write a full biography. Eustace was a 12th century pirate, who had spent time in a monastery and the original French romance reads like Robin Hood.

Before the Falling Dark

Before the Falling Dark, was my first novel. Sitting around a freezing castle in Hungary, not understanding Hungarian television, so I started to write a novel. No one was as surprised as I that it was accepted for publication. The book is set primarily in Roman Britain at the time of the fall of the Roman Empire and the invasions of the Angles, Saxons, and other Germanic tribes. It tells the story of a Romano-Celt doctor from Colchester and how they deal with the beginning of the invasions.
