		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m very happy to announce that the two Spartacus books have sold to Brazil. They will be published by Ediouro. I haven&#8217;t got any publishing dates yet, but it&#8217;s tremendous news. Brazil is an enormous market, and historical fiction by the likes of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden is very popular there. Obrigado! In non-Roman [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Archaeological students in Germany on an experimental dig found far more than they bargained for when they chanced upon the foundations of a Roman temple recently. Read more about it here. Incredible how these things keep being found. Long may that continue! Been busy recently, tidying up the last edits of Spartacus: Rebellion. It&#8217;s released [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been ages coming, and apologies to so many of you who wanted to buy them, but now you can. They will be available on Barnes &#38; Noble in the next couple [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been over a month since I posted here, for which my sincere apologies. After finishing Spartacus: Rebellion, my mind went blank for about ten days. I&#8217;ve not done such an intense period of writing (Boxing Day until Feb. 25th, 6 days a week, 10-14 hours a day) since writing The Forgotten Legion. The mental [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spartacus is still in the Sunday Times charts this week, albeit at No. 10. It&#8217;s been an incredible result so far &#8211; more than 12,000 hardbacks sold after 5 weeks in the Top Ten. Thanks so much to all of you who&#8217;ve made that possible! This week was also when I handed in Spartacus: Rebellion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Spartacus slipped to No. 6 in the Sunday Times bestseller chart. I hoped that this week, it would remain in the Top Ten, but wouldn&#8217;t have been surprised if it had fallen out. Imagine my delight when I found out yesterday that it had climbed back up to No. 5! That&#8217;s another first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I often get asked where I get the inspiration for my books from. I&#8217;m not entirely sure a lot of the time, but there&#8217;s always a spark that starts a story off. I&#8217;ve been meaning for ages to have this sort of thing on the site, and this is hopefully the beginning lots more such posts. [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s the highest position that I&#8217;ve ever reached, and it feels great! Thanks again to everyone who has bought the book, and propelled it to such heights.
