Gordon Doherty

Gordon Doherty is a Scottish writer who is passionate about historical fiction. His interest in this genre was sparked by his travels to the ancient ruins in Turkey, Greece, and Italy. Realizing the powerful way in which writing historical fiction could help him experience the past, he began to put pen to paper.

Doherty's love for history was further fueled by his visits to the misty Roman ruins of Britain and the sun-baked antiquities of Turkey and Greece. His writing has taken him on a journey through time and across the world, allowing him to create tales of the later Roman Empire, Byzantium, Classical Greece, and even the distant Bronze Age. His novels have been well-received, becoming Amazon best-sellers and being translated and published in Russia, Italy, and Greece.
