    About this ebook

    With the release of the First Edition of Caesar Triumphant in 2013, which is set ten years after the fateful Ides of March in 44 BCE, readers were introduced to an alternate history in which Julius Caesar heeds the warning of The Seer.

    After Caesar and his Legions conquered the vast expanse of Parthia, they invaded India as part of Caesar’s ambition to outstrip the exploits of the Macedonian king Alexander. Then, they traversed Asia to reach the fabled end of the world known as the Isle of Wa, modern-day Japan, the invasion of which is the subject of Caesar Triumphant.

    Caesar Triumphant became a bestseller, and readers were engaged enough that it spawned the six-volume Caesar Ascending series, which covers the ten-year period prior to Caesar Triumphant, beginning with Caesar Ascending-Invasion of Parthia.

    While the Second Edition of Caesar Triumphant contains the engaging and exciting battle scenes originally released with the First Edition that made it a bestseller, it has been updated to include the storylines of several characters readers were introduced to over the previous six volumes of Caesar Ascending, and is now divided into two parts to accommodate these new subplots and resolutions, while Part Two (coming in January of 2022) contains a new Epilogue that hints at what the ancient world may have looked like if Caesar had heeded the warning, “Beware The Ides of March”.

    I am a 63 year old retired Infantry Marine, born and raised in Texas and currently living on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. I have been writing since my first novel, written at the age of 10, when my friends and yours truly fought off the Soviet hordes, who just happened to pick my block to launch their invasion. That was their big mistake.But like a lot of dreams, it got sidetracked until recently, when I decided to focus my passion on an era and subject that interested me a great deal. Like my characters in Ancient Rome, I have served as the pointy tip of the spear of our nation's policy, and it is with this perspective that I tell the story of Titus Pullus and his friends.Marching With Caesar-Birth of the 10th Legion was my first published novel, and is the first in a completed series that covers the career of Titus Pullus, his adopted son Gaius Porcinianus Pullus, grandson Titus Porcinianus Pullus, and his great-grandson Gnaeus Volusenianus Pullus. The most recent release is Volume XIX, Marching With Caesar-Catualda the Usurper.I also have a completed alternate history series, Caesar Ascending, that imagines a world in which Gaius Julius Caesar survives the Ides of March, embarks on his historical campaign against Parthian...then keeps going. Originally it's a bid to outstrip the Macedonian King Alexander by reaching the Ganges River, but evolves into a decade-long campaign that finds Caesar and his Legions marching to the end of the known world in the form of the mysterious Islands of Wa, modern-day Japan.Finally, in 2020, I began The Titus Chronicles, with Volume I titled Eagle and Wyvern, which tells the story of a descendant of Titus Pullus, (though he's unaware of any connection), named Titus of Cyssanbyrig, who at the age of fourteen answers the fyrd sounded by the Saxon King Alfred, marching with Alfred and his army to confront the Danish King Guthrum, culminating at the Battle of Edington. Blessed with the same prodigious size and strength as his ancestor, young Titus learns he is the recipient of a darker gift, and in his first battle earns the nickname The Berserker.The Titus Chronicles mark the first of an extended genealogy of the original Titus that will extend across the ages as the story of a line of men who have been born and bred for war, and are witnesses to some of the great historical events of the ages.
