Books You Should Read

I've written as a freelancer, and have completed a bunch of novels, and have also taught college full time and then for a prison program that was summarily closed by a Republican governor. One of my Smashwords novels, From Renata With Love, makes use of what I learned then from one of my inmate students.

I've published two novels on Kindle: Attila as Told to His Scribes, and I, Zerco, both set in the 5th century in or near the Roman Empire. The first is a first-person fictional autobiography of Attila the Hun, telling of his life from the incident which sent him as hostage to the Roman capital (Ravenna) as a young man, through his triumphs, to his death, narrated by his last scribe.

I, Zerco tells his own story. A contemporary of Attila, a Moor who ended up in Attila's court, according to a Roman eyewitness account, his story begins in the North African mountains. He is always a lover, but he's enslaved by Romans and subsequently has three harrowing, but ultimately triumphant careers: as bestiarius, stupidus (jester) and double agent to Attila's predecessor, and finally as a magician. He is the ultimate survivor.
