by Sam Barone
More thanks are due to Bill Morgan, my friend since the first grade. He gave the book its final read and spotted the lingering typos, and, as usual, under the rush of getting the book completed and ready for publication.
Of course, our two cats Minga and Norton helped out. Norton often climbed onto my lap, forcing a break in the writing process, but restoring a sense of calm to the author.
About The Author
Born and raised in Queens, New York, Sam Barone graduated from Manhattan College with a BS degree. After a hitch in the Marine Corps, he entered the world of technology.
In 1999, after thirty years developing software in management, Sam retired from Western Union International, as VP of International Systems. He moved to Arizona, to take up his second career as a writer.
Seven years later, the author’s first Eskkar story, Dawn of Empire, was published in the USA and UK. It has since been released worldwide. Clash of Empires is the sixth book in the series.
History and reading have always been two of Sam’s favorite interests. He considers himself more of a storyteller than a writer. “I write stories that I would enjoy reading, and it’s a true blessing that others have found these tales interesting, informative, and entertaining.”
Sam and his wife Linda, and their two cats (Minga and Norton) enjoy life in beautiful Prescott Arizona.
Sam’s books have been published in nine languages and he has over 200,000 readers. He receives correspondence from all over the world. Sam enjoys hearing from his readers, and invites them to visit www.sambarone.com
