About Me

People who enjoy Historical Fiction and Romance novels have been telling me that they have enjoyed my novel, The Lost Diary of Don Juan, which is an adventure love story and historical thriller set during 16th century.

I'd be honored if you would be willing to click below and read the first few chapters of my novel and tell me what you think.

The Lost Diary of Don Juan was published in May in the United States and to my amazement is being published this year in 26 languages (most of which I don't speak!).

Warm regards and appreciation for your valuable time,

Doug
