Hello,
This is me, Allan Harper. And this is Loch Ard Fiction.
And this is what I look like!
I write novels about the Romans in ancient Britain, particularly Scotland. My four book Roman army series is called Soldiers of The Boar. The first two of the series are Legionaries of The Boar and Sword of The Boar. There are descriptions and Amazon links on the tabs above. Either tab lets you view the whole series. All four are available in paperback versions.
The Boys from Eburacum, released in January 2025 has been sequeled with Pax Rufus. These two novels are unrelated to Soldiers of The Boar and have entirely new characters in the Sixth Victrix legion.
Amazon links to all these books can be found on the Novels tab above.
Photo pages.
Some Roman related photo pages of Hardknott Fort and Hadrian's Wall. Personal ones are so much better!
My Short Stories. - on the tabs above:
Two free stories from my time as a Customs officer, featured a range of idiosyncratic colleagues and strange events.
"The Customs officer's tale."
"Tarve and the Afrika Korps."
The Blog.
You will see a Blog tab at the top of this page. The Blog currently features over sixty items both historical and military that catch my attention from the topical press as well as my own musings. I also post progress updates on my latest project. Worth a delve!
