I've always enjoyed historical fiction. Authors like James A. Michener (Centennial) and Ken Follett (Pillars of the Earth) had me lost in tales of past and ancient peoples from my teenage years already. Thus, when I decided to realise my lifelong dream of writing a book, it was inevitable that I'd write in the same genre, if not to the same acclaim.
Listed below are the books I've written and which are available as paperback or on Kindle via Amazon.

Warhorn
Book 1 in the Sons of Iberia series
A warrior forged by vengeance. A world on the brink of war. A destiny written in blood.
Caros never sought the path of a warrior, but fate had other plans. After avenging his family’s murder, he longs for peace—only to have it ripped away once more. Wounded in both body and spirit, he must find a new purpose.
In the shadow of Rome’s rising power, a young and ambitious Hannibal Barca gathers his mercenary horde. When war calls, Caros answers, riding into battle against impossible odds. From the rugged hills of Iberia to the storm-wracked battlements of Sagunt, he will test his mettle, forge unbreakable bonds, and face the true cost of victory.
From the banks of the Tagus to the battlements of Sagunt; ride with Caros as he learns the way of war and discovers the price of victory.

Warhorn is the gripping first book in the Sons of Iberia series and ideal reading for fans of Christian Cameron, Conn Iggulden, and Bernard Cornwell.
