Set in the early Bronze Age, Dawn Of Empire tells the story of creating mankind ’s first walled city - the struggle to build it, and the fight to defend it.
And now HarperCollins has released Empire Rising, which continues the story of Eskkar and Trella as they struggle to defend their new-born city.
While the stories may be fiction (or maybe not - see Author Bio), we all know that somewhere, sometime, one brave village had to make a life-and-death decision: to stand and fight for what they’d built, or run from the nomadic tribesmen who plagued the land from the beginnings of time.
If you’re a fan of historical adventure, the struggle of Eskkar, a former barbarian now earning his bread and cheese as a mercenary for a peaceful village, may interest you. Standing beside (and behind) Eskkar is Trella, the quick-thinking slave girl who helps him grow into a true leader. There’s plenty of action waiting for both of them.
And Dawn of Empire is now available in paperback from HarperCollins.
 For those who want to read more of Eskkar and Trella’s adventures, read Empire Rising, the sequel which picks up the action from Dawn Of Empire. Empire Rising is now available in hardcover from HarperCollins. Check out the early reviews here.
I hope you enjoy reading Dawn Of Empire and Empire Rising as much as I did writing them. The first chapters of both stories are available here for your review. Dawn Of Empire was published in North America by William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, in August 29, 2006.
Publication in the UK, by Century-Arrow, a division of Random House, was in January, 2007. Click Here to see more information on the UK edition.
A Spanish edition of Dawn Of Empire is available for Spain and South America, and Empire Rising will also be available in Spanish later this year. Italian and Czechoslovakian editions of Dawn of Empire are also available now, with Brazilian and Russian translations in the works. These should be available in late 2007.
If you would like to stay in contact on a regular basis, I’ll be establishing a free monthly e-zine for those interested. Stay in touch for more information.
