Jack England lives in Henley-on-Thames, in England, and has a keen interest in classical history; mythology and its relationship to language; and the world of Aristotelian economics and its later logical descendants. He maintains an occasional diary blog for his ‘Blades of Freedom’ chronicles, covering the great struggle between Persia and Greece in the fifth century B.C., as it really happened. My own favourite authors are J.R.R.Tolkien, Robert Graves, George MacDonald Fraser, J.K.Rowling, Bernard Cornwell, Patrick O'Brian, Neal Stephenson, Robert Heinlein, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Ayn Rand.
