The famous “Aztec Empire” is known to us mainly through its encounter with Cortez and his conquistadors.īut what was there before? How a great empire we heard mainly of its fall came to exist? The Mound Builders Series is outlining possible interactions between the 13th century Mississippians and their less famous neighbors of the Ohio River’s mound builders known to us as “Fort Ancients” as well as possible internal conflicts such fascinatingly autocratic great urban centers might have been facing from time to time. Nine full-length novels are following the Great League’s creators and the aftermath of their work that saw this outstanding political body evolving into a major power around the Great Lakes and beyond them. The North American Saga is dealing with the creation of the famous Iroquois Confederacy, one of the oldest democracies of the world. The Mesoamerican Saga is composed of three series – seventeen full-length novels all in all – and is covering the turbulent history of the 14-15th century Mesoamerica, the central Mexican Valley in particular, where the people we came to know as the Aztecs were busy carving their place among other local powers and empires. Years later and after close to two decades of exhaustive research and creative writing, poring through the available primary sources and sometimes modern-day scholars’ interpretation of those, I’m pleased to offer series of historical novels that cover the lively history of the American continent, tracing pivotal events that brought about the greatness of pre-contact North and Mesoamerica. Pre-contact America and its people and cultures were my obsession since I could remember myself, long before I knew what I wished or could do about it.
