I talk to historical fiction author Gordon Doherty about his Byzantine book series ‘Strategos.’ We talk about inspiration and research but also what advice he’d give to aspiring writers.
We also give you the chance to win a copy of the first book in the Strategos trilogy.
Find out more about Gordon and his other book series (including more Roman era stories) at his website.
Strategos: Born in the Borderlands by Gordon Doherty
A young man with a dark secret holds the key to the coming battle between Byzantium and the Seljuks. This is the first book in the trilogy.

The History of Byzantium 
This is one of those episodes that make me really wish there were a written transcript of these podcast episodes.😕 Doherty has a heavy Scottish accent that is difficult for me as an American to understand. I would love it if you published a written transcript for each of your episodes.
I, as a Brazilian, couldn’t understand a thing of what he was saying. I have a hard time understanding scots speaking.
