Adam Alexander Haviaras is a writer of historical fiction/fantasy, trained as an historian and archaeologist. Adam has always loved the past, stories of ancient peoples and places. Believing that places are portals to the past he likes nothing more than walking the ground of an ancient site, taking in the details and facts and then letting his imagination take over. Adam has studied ancient and medieval history and archaeology, and creative writing since 1991 and obtained an Honours B.A. from the University of Toronto, and a Masters from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. His studies have focussed on ancient and medieval warfare with a very special interest in Arthurian studies. Adam's first novel set in the Roman Empire, Children of Apollo (Book I of the Eagles and Dragons series) is available in paperback and e-book from Amazon and Smashwords. Book II of the Eagles and Dragons series, Killing the Hydra, will be released at the end of 2012. Visit the Eagles and Dragons Facebook page or go to www.writingthepastblog.blogspot.com for regular updates and posts on the ancient world.

Just a quick note to say that I've launched the first part in a new $.99 cent novella series on Amazon today. It's called IMMORTUI - Carpathian Interlude Part I If you want a bit of dark historical fantasy for Halloween, this might be the ticket. It's Romans vs. Zombies! Cheers!

Very exciting news! Children of Apollo, the first book in my historical fantasy series, Eagles and Dragons, is now available from the Apple iBookstore and Barnes and Noble for the Nook. Still working on a short novella to come out toward the end of October. More to come on that. Cheers!

@MikaChan12 No worries! I'm looking forward to getting into it. Concept sounds awesome. If you like Greek mythology, you might like my two short stories 'Theoi' and 'The Sea Released'. Will let you know when I get into the Ariana story. Cheers!

Great author event put on by the Wattpad team today at Toronto's Word on the Street festival. It would be good to have regular in-person events like that. Great work Wattpad folks!
