A Murder on the Appian Way by Steven Saylor

My interests tend to thrillers, SF, magic realism and other quirky stuff.

On a semi-regular basis, and about a month after the event, I post here reviews which I do for Big Al & Pals, the premier reviewer of indie books, based in the States. I am also the author of novella 'Little Mouse', a shortish piece of historical fiction which I published in 2014 and, a sequel to it, 'Is death really necessary?', my eco thriller set in the near future and which, confusingly, I published in 2009.Īll the books are available from all good online bookshops and FeedARead on paper, and as e-books on Kindle. In the autumn of 2015 I published a volume of short fiction: 'Ice Cold Passion and other stories'.

If you enjoyed Tom Sharpe’s Porterhouse novels, Willy Russell’s ‘Educating Rita’, David Lodge’s campus novels or Malcolm Bradbury’s ‘The History Man’ back in the day, you may enjoy revisiting the ivory towers of 1980s’ academe thirty years on. It’s a satirical campus novel set in the fictional Ariel University in 1985. In December 2017 I published my fourth book – ‘Wonders will never cease’.
