Alex Gough is a veterinarian who lives in the southwest of England. Gough is an avid reader of multiple genres, with a particular interest in historical fiction set in Ancient Rome. This interest has led Gough to become an author of Roman historical fiction, and the owner of the romanfiction.com blog.
Gough's writing is informed by a decades-long interest in Ancient Roman history. The Carbo Series, which includes "Watchmen of Rome," "Bandits of Rome," and the short story collection "Carbo and the Thief," is the result of extensive research into the underclasses of Ancient Rome. Gough's second series, "The Imperial Assassin," is set in the reign of the Severan dynasty, an under-examined period of Roman history. Gough's latest series is based on the larger-than-life character of Mark Antony, exploring his various roles as a warrior, commander, politician, and lover.
