William Kelso Books in Order

William Kelso is a British author born to Dutch parents, with deep roots in historical storytelling. Growing up, he was captivated by his grandfather's tales of serving in the RAF during World War 2, and his family's discovery of a Scottish and Northern Irish ancestor's role in the Battle of Waterloo further fueled his fascination with military history. Kelso's passion for ancient Rome, Carthage, and the Germanic and Celtic tribes is evident in his writing, which brings to life the epic stories of this bygone era. A former financial publisher and event manager, Kelso spent 22 years in London, immersing himself in the city's rich Roman history. Now a full-time writer, he draws inspiration from the streets of Londinium, weaving tales that combine entertainment and education. His stories transport readers to ancient Rome, particularly during the early to mid-republic era, where he delves into the lives of legendary figures and pivotal events that shaped the ancient world.
