Audible has given me some free codes for my recently published audiobooks so, in the spirit of the season, I can give away a few free copies. There are audio samples here: https://audible.co.uk/pd/B0BMGWYFNC/?source_code=AUKFrDlWS02231890H6-BK-ACX0-329354&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_329354_rh_uk
They are historical novels but I feel they have quite a broad appeal. They've been wonderfully narrated by Paul Metcalfe, whose best known for narrating the works of DH Lawrence. If you would like to listen to them, please send me a message

An excerpt from Cicero's Cato Maior de Senectute ("Cato the Elder on old age"). It was an essay published in 44BC on the subject of aging and death.
In it, Cicero makes reference to the relative vigour Masinissa had possessed in his 90th year. (148BC) During the previous year, the King had raided Carthage in a provocation which would lead to the third and last #Punic war between #Rome and #Carthage.

A little about my work. I’ve published two novels about the Numidian king #Masinissa set during the 2nd Punic War between Rome and Carthage. He played a pivotal role in that conflict, which was one of the most momentous in the Mediterranean region, and he is still widely revered across North Africa as the founding father of the Amazigh/Berber people. The books feature notable historical figures such as #Scipio Africanus, #Hannibal, #Archimedes and #Sophonisba and are available in all formats.
