His training has taught him that under an innocuous field may lie a vanished village, while turning over a simple stone may reveal ancient writing. Finding the hidden under the surface is what archaeology is all about.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s what writing is all about too. What makes people do what they do, and feel what they feel? It&#8217;s often hard to find that out in the real world, but building a character from the bottom up makes for a satisfying pastime because it takes the writer from cause to effect. Like all writers he has been an avid reader since childhood and it wasn&#8217;t long before he took the ideas in his head and put them on paper. When he&#8217;s not writing, he likes to explore the natural world. He has a love of long-distance hiking and has recently rediscovered the joys of caving. He has yet to come across any monsters while exploring the underworld, however.<\/p>\n<p>He is the author of Roots Run Deep, a fantasy romance novel published by Double Dragon, and Murder at McMurdo, a mystery novella set in the Antarctic, published by LL-Publications. You can learn more about him, and lots about the Middle Ages, at his blog\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/genreauthor.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/genreauthor.blogspot.com<\/a>.
