My fictionalised tale based on Boadicea’s last battle as she leads the Iceni tribe into a final battle. Cornered by a dense army of Roman soldiers intent on destroying her legacy, this will be the last stab at the Roman empire for her. Displeased and angered at her attack on Londonium, the Roman centurions face Boadicea and her army for the last time.

Why did i write this? Life is not just about – and therefore my writing – severed heads, marauding undead flesh eaters, evil spirits, possessed objects, devil worshippers, psychos and…you get the point.
