Mr. Matthew Jordan Storm is a Roman History nut. If he had more time and aptitude he would have become an archaeologist or historian but now moonlights as a writer of historical fiction instead. Mr. Storm has lived and worked in three former capitals of the Roman Empire: Rome, Milan and Istanbul - experiences that marked him and contributed greatly to his novels. He views the "Legend of Africanus" series as a passion bordering on an indulgence (his wife does not argue the point and might offer other adjectives in private).
