Hi, I'm Mark from Toronto, Canada, but I lived many years in L.A. I've always loved historical fiction. It's definitely by favourite read. Some of my favourite authors are John Jakes, Edward Rutherfurd, Ken Follett, Gary Jennings, James Michener, and I've recently discovered Steven Saylor. I just finished my first book of Mr. Saylor's, Roma, which I loved and am now engossed in the first of his sub-Roma series, Roman Blood. His new book, Empire, along with Ken Follett's new one, Fall of Giants, just arrived from Amazon.ca so I've got lots of reading to do!
Glad to be here!
