Novel Based on Family Story


My novel, The Sword, The Book, and The Bone is based on large part on three real people, me, my grandfather, and my greatgrandfather. The rest is a fictional alternative history based on meticulous real historical research. The goal was hyperaccuracy in things described. Like this coin, featuring the name of Gaius Cassius Longinus, leader of the Liberators -- the men who assassinated Julius Caesar on the Ides of March.
