Douglas Jackson

I'm Douglas Jackson and I'm the Scottish author of eighteen novels across the genres of historical fiction, crime and adventure, including the critically-acclaimed nine-book Hero of Rome series. My next book, Blood Sacrifice, a dark crime novel set against the background of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943, is published on November 14, 2024. I was born in Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders in the summer of 1956. My writing career began when I joined my local newspaper a few weeks short of my sixteenth birthday and I've been labouring away with a pen, typewriter or keyboard more or less every day since. I spent another 36 years working in local and national newspapers before I decided give up the day job to become a full time writer in 2009. I now live near Stirling
