Marian L. Thorpe

My books are historical fiction of an imagined world, one that is close to Britain, Northern Europe, and Rome, but isn't any of them. A world where a society evolved differently after the Eastern Empire left, where one young fisherwoman answers her leader's call to defend her country, beginning a journey into uncharted territory, in an Empire on the edge of history.

After two careers as a research scientist and an educator, I decided it was time to do what I'd always really wanted, and be a writer. As well as my novels, I've published short stories and poetry. My life-long interest in Roman and post-Roman European history provided the inspiration for my books, while my other interests in landscape archaeology and birding provide background.

Ross J. Kinnaird

Ross Joseph Kinnaird was born in the United States something like 1000 years ago. Moved to Italy when only an infant, he grew up in the deep south, shaped by the sun and the wildness of the sea. After moving to Ireland in 2010, he started to collect and collate the many stories he had written.

In between reality and fantasy, he fused together the many way life presented to him. In a literary roller-coaster of emotions and feelings, pain, sorrow, happiness, friendship, love, Ross J. Kin
