He is the author of three historical fantasy novels, Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart, The Enterprise of Death, and The Folly of the World, all published by Orbit Books. He has also written the epic fantasy novels A Crown for Cold Silver, A Blade of Black Steel and A War in Crimson Embers[2] under the pen name Alex Marshall.[3]
