ⓘ About Gordon Doherty
Gordon’s imagination was first fired by travelling around the sun-washed ruins of antiquity in Turkey, Greece and Italy. Already an avid reader of historical fiction as a means of escapism, he realised that putting pen to paper for himself could be an even more powerful way to experience the past for himself. Several years of research and literary experimentation followed, before he made the breakthrough with the advent of self-publishing. Ironically, this was the key to acquiring an agent and striking several deals with mainstream publishers including Penguin, Head of Zeus, Canelo, WF Howes, Newton Compton and more. His books have since been published in over seventeen languages, worldwide, in eBook, paperback, hardback and audiobook formats. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Empires of Bronze Books series, Gordon Doherty has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
