Arminius!

4/9/2024 The release date of “Prince of Death- An Arminius Novel”. This was one of the most difficult books for me to write solely because it was from the perspective of a real person. I had to put myself in Arminus’ shoes when he was taken from his homeland at ten years of age and raised as a Roman. His ability to fight and lead a cavalry caught the attention of men like General Varus and it was due to his allegiance to Rome that prevented the plans of the Germanic ambush to be revealed.

I loved every minute of standing on the presumed battlefields in Germany, and imagining what the battle between the Romans and the Germanic tribes was like. I hope I have conveyed those feelings in my work and appreciate the insight and guidance of my German guides (Jan Mengeling and Maria Carrasco).

“Is there anything left for us but to retain our freedom or die before we are enslaved?”

–Arminius (Tacitus, Annals, II. 15)
