Some of her books are on Kindle, but others are, unfortunately, only available through used book sellers. If you're new to Gillian Bradshaw, I recommend Render unto Caesar, which is about a Greek collecting a debt from a Roman and is a kind of thriller The Sand Reckoner, which is about the mathematician Archimedes and has a little romance or, for something a little different, The Bearkeeper's Daughter, which is about the Empress Theodora in a Byzantine-era Constantinople. Her novels are, for me, the perfect mix of historical research, interesting characters, intriguing conflict, and with a little romance thrown in. She hasn't written anything in a few years, which is sad, but her books are worth reading more than once, and I've read my favourites several times. She's also written a few books set in the Byzantine period. She writes mainly historical novels set in the ancient Roman world, although she has also done a duet set in the English Civil War, as well as a series about King Arthur. I have only a few go-to authors, the auto-buy, read-when-I'm-in-a-funk type authors, and Gillian Bradshaw is at the very top of that list.
