Featured Author

Each month I provide a short bio of one of the authors on the site. This month we will look at John Stack.

John StackJohn Stack was born in 1972 in a town not far from the city of Cork, on the south coast of Ireland. After college he went to work for an American company out of Cork, managing a team of computer aided design technicians, a job that led to lots of travel and the opportunity to continue his education in business. After ten years he was made redundantso he decided to fulfil an ambition and began to write an historical fiction novel. He still lives in County Cork.

His Masters of the Sea series is set much earlier than the usual naval fiction series as it is based around the Roman conflict with Carthage. The first book in the series, Ship of Rome, went straight into the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He has also written a novel about the Spanish Armada.
