Thanks so much for the question. So I've been writing since I was a kid. There are pictures of me writing Star Wars novels when I was no more than five years old. Then in High School, I used my dreams of being the next JRR Tolkien to slack on my school work, ha! When I got into college I started listening to all the folks who told me it wasn't possible to earn a living as an author, and I began working towards a business degree. It wasn't until after I graduated that I decided if I was ever going to take a risk and follow my dream, now was the time to do it with no spouse, kids, mortgage, etc. So I went all in! The first several months were hard, but a lot of doors have been opened and I've met so many incredible people who have helped me get to this point. To sum it up, I'm not sure if there was ever a moment where I KNEW it was my career until I looked up and realized it already was! But I think being a storyteller was always what I wanted, even before I knew what an author was! Thanks so much for writing, Zev! I'm so thankful for your support and happy to hear that you've enjoyed.

Keep Fighting,

Hey Johnny,

Thanks so much for reading and for the question! As many of my readers know, I primarily write historical fiction set in Ancient Rome. For that reason, I'm guessing it came as a big surprise to many when I launched the first crime thriller book set primarily in the 1930s.

It's one of those things where "I didn't choose the book, the book chose me", as trite as that might sound. From a marketing standpoint, it wasn't the best decision I've ever made, but it was a story that got planted in my imagination and I could never let it go. Believe it or not, I started working on the series back in 2010, although I didn't return to it and write the actual book now known as "Sins of the Father" until 2018.

And there will definitely be more entries in the series! Book 2, Blood of the Sons, launched in 2022, and Book 3 will be coming sometime in the not-so-distant future.

Thanks again, Johnny!

Keep Fighting,
Vincent B. Davis II(less)

Quotes by Vincent B. Davis II  (?)

“It is not death which is difficult to escape, gentlemen; no, it is far more difficult to escape wickedness, which pursues us more swiftly.”
Vincent B. Davis II, The Man With Two Names

“and Rome’s fat nobility are gorging themselves on the blood of the Republic, and I’m not so sure this great state will survive many more attacks from the likes of Jugurtha”
Vincent B. Davis II, The Man With Two Names

“How, sir?” “They enact measures the people desire. So the plebs in the street clamor that their freedom isn’t being stolen—nay they are gaining it because of his measures! And Tiberius and his lot fanned this flame, so that he became the only elected official who protected the rights of the people, while the mean old Senate was condemning them. But that is how they lull people into a slumber! Then, once power is seized, they will do whatever is necessary to ensure that it is secured! They no longer need the approval of mere proletariats—they use violence to ensure their victory.”
Vincent B. Davis II, The Man With Two Names
