My novels draw from a deep well of legend, history, archeololgy and linguistic tradition. This Marginalia section offers readers a glimpse beneath the surface—into the choices, sources, and interpretive scaffolding that shaped each story. Like the footnotes found in translations of Beowulf, these entries illuminate obscure references, suggest further reading and highlight where historical record ends and narrative invention begins.
Each annotation is designed to enrich, not overwhelm. Some are brief clarifications; others delve deeper. But this isn’t an academic appendix. It's a curated archive for readers who enjoy the interplay between fiction and fact, myth and realism. Whether you’re here to learn more about the source material or my creative process, these notes are for you.
