Autorenporträt
I live in Vancouver, Canada now, but I grew up on the cold Canadian Prairies. Perhaps because of that I was fascinated as a kid by the warm and exotic sugar islands of the Caribbean. When I got older I devoured novels in the age of sail genre set in the area, hooking me in turn on the history of slavery, life on sugar plantations, and the colourful characters populating this era. Given all this it is no surprise my historical fiction Evan Ross Series takes you there, focusing primarily on shore based action, intrigue, and history involving Commander Ross. Watch for the fifth book in the series, The Sugar Sacrifice, coming soon.
