Blood of a Gladiator is the first of a new mystery series I write as Ashley Gardner.

Meet Leonidas, a gladiator freed from the games, and Cassia, a scribe assigned to assist him. Set in the time of Nero (about 63 AD), Leonidas must find a way to survive, and finds himself embroiled in murder and mysteries.

I spent a good part of my time in Rome last year researching for this book. I love this period of history! Enjoy.

I am and have been doing much writing, on many different projects. I get lots of email asking me when such and so book will be out, but right now I can only say for certain that Murder in the East End (Kat Holloway Book 4) is out August 4 (in e-book, print, and audio).

Everything else does not have a definite pub date. I’m giving myself time to sit back and WRITE until I have manuscripts finished. Once they are out for edits, I will start putting books on pre-order and deciding exact dates.

That said, I am working on, in Mystery: a Leonidas the Gladiator novel; Kat Holloway Book 5; a new Captain Lacey. In Romance: The next Shifter, Captain Ellis’s story in the Mackenzies, and some new fun things, and some novellas for multi-author anthologies. Also Stormwalker is up!

I am deep in my cave, typing away. I will post details on all these projects as soon as I have finished books and firm dates. Plus covers. I love cover reveals.
