My name’s Austin Briggs. I’ve spent over 10 years researching the history of the Aztec Empire and the Spanish Conquest with a dream of creating a historical fiction series that would fascinate readers who like a good history-based tale. I even went so far as to experience some of the magical rites of the ancient Mexica myself.

I’ve always been obsessed with learning about other cultures; in addition to my time in the lands that were once occupied by the Aztec peoples, I’ve also lived in Russia, Japan, England, Switzerland, Cambodia, Lithuania, and Uzbekistan.

I’ve been a soldier in the Russian army, an officer in the United Nations, and a global manager of a Fortune 10 company. I’ve been both a local and an outsider, a member of the majority

Thanks, Sara! I appreciate your friendship, too.

Sara Lowe Austin, thanks for the friendship, your book sounds intriguing.


Austin Briggs Hi Stuart,

Thanks for your note - just received Epiphany, looking forward to it (will read after finishing the 2 books I've committed to).

I've read some reviews, looks like Epiphany will be quite an emotional roller-coaster. Russia, Africa, US... all sounds very exciting. And you created an Aztec jewelry line? That's some diverse talents! :)

Austin.


Stuart Land Austin, you've lived a lot of lives and are still going strong. I like that. Your book on my TBR list. I created a line of Aztec jewelry once, so I'm at least familiar with the art. Thanks again for requesting Epiphany. Did you know one of the characters is Russian?
