Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
L.J. Trafford studied Ancient History at the University of Reading after which she took a job as a Tour Guide in the Lake District.
Moving to London in 2000 she began writing 'The Four Emperors' series. The series comprises four books - Palatine, Galba's Men, Otho's Regret and Vitellius' Feast - which cover the dramatic fall of Nero and the chaotic year of the four emperors that followed.
She is a regular contributor to The History Girls blog and once received an Editor's Choice mark from The Historical Novel Society. Her proudest moment remains creating #phallusthursday a popular Twitter hashtag dedicated to depictions of penises in antiquity.
