The story of

Edmond Thornfield

AN AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR BORN IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL, EDMOND LIVED FOR OVER TWO decades in Ontario, Upland, and Rancho Cucamonga, California. He completed studies in Information Systems and Philosophy at Chaffey College.

Before enrolling in English 101, however, he first had to complete English 90 and 91, proving his proficiency in his newly adopted language. Determined to master it, he immersed himself in the classics—rereading favorites from Homer and Virgil to Shakespeare, Marlowe, Dumas, Wilde, and Austen—until he eventually became a copywriter and editor at his advertising agency.

A Note on Style

My novels employ archaic prose registers appropriate to their historical settings of Bronze Age Greece and Renaissance Italy. This stylistic choice is deliberate and integral to the work’s artistic vision. Readers should expect a brief period of adjustment—typically one to two chapters—as they attune to the linguistic rhythms; meanings, however, remain clear through context. The prose rewards engagement without ever obscuring comprehension.

Nonetheless, if you prefer contemporary prose conventions, my work may not suit your taste, and that is perfectly acceptable. These novels are written for readers who delight in stylistically rich historical fiction in the tradition of Mary Renault, Dorothy Dunnett, and Hilary Mantel.

I invite you to step into Bronze Age and Renaissance intrigue, romance, and adventure—if you dare.
