Excerpt:
Matt gulped. She looked so much like Samantha
that they could have been twins. The same long dark hair. The same intense blue
stare. "So are you going to say anything or are you just going to stare at
me?" asked Alexia, her hand still on her dagger. "I don't like guys
that stare".
Matt looked away. "Sorry you remind me of
someone I know." Knew, he corrected himself. What if he never got back
home? Would he ever see Samantha again? He let out a sigh.
"So where did they bring you in from?"
asked Alexia still sizing him up.
He looked at her beige coloured tunic, and then
down at his own clothes. I must look pretty strange he thought. "I need to
change clothes," he said. He lifted his chin in an attempt to look more in
control. Who am I kidding, he thought. She's the one dominating this room.
Alexia titled her head and looked him over from
head to toe. "You sure do" she said. "Put those on" she
added pointing to the pile in the corner. Matt stepped forward and went to pick
up the clothes from the floor. He had expected her to leave but she stood there
watching him. A tide of crimson red swept over his skin.
"You can wait outside" he said, almost
choking on the words.
"Nah, you go ahead. I've got eight
brothers. Haven't got anything I've not seen before. Besides, I can't
leave."
"What do you mean you can't leave?"
"What I said. I can't. If anything you
should. I was here first. How did you get in here anyways?"
Matt felt for the pendant at his neck. It was
cold. "You'd never believe me even if I told you."

Tell us about your latest book
KOSMOS is a serial fiction of 12 episodes. A new episode of this time travel adventure will be published on the 1st of each month. My latest release is Gladiator which is episode three in the series. In this book the main character, Matt, finds himself in ancient Rome during the inaugural games for the Coliseum. Mistaken for a young gladiator, he fights to stay alive whilst searching for a way back home.
What made you pick this location?
I live in Rome so it just seemed natural to have one of the books in the series based here. When I'm surrounded by so much history every day it would be a shame not to use it. One of the first jobs I did when I moved here was a tour guide for the Coliseum. It's one of my favourite places here in Rome.
As the KOSMOS series was written for my nine year old son I also wanted to make sure it had things that would grab his interest. Featuring a place he knows well, but with a twist, did the trick. He loved imagining what it would have been like all those years ago with the gladiators.
Who
is your favourite character in your book and why?
I love the character of Alexia. She's a real force of nature. I wanted her to be strong, and really kick-ass. She says what she thinks too. She's basically an anti-Princess type of character.
