I am almost finished writing the first volume of an historical novel (planned for five volumes) about the ancient Greeks before and during the Persian Wars.
Background
Information
My background consists of my many travels in Europe and the Middle East and my studies of Classical History.
In particular, I have always been impressed with the sixth century BCE and the Persian War era of Greece which had such a great impact on the development of Greek civilization - and thus on our own.
Among many inspirations, perhaps the most significant for my novel-in-progress is Colleen McCullough's excellent "First Man in Rome" series.
