It all began with The Gates of Rome, the first book in a series called Emperor which endeavors to explore the life of Julius Caesar from his days as a youth to his years as the world’s most powerful leader.Ĭonn’s luck was such that The Gates of Rome came out at a time when the Roman period was experiencing a resurgence, primarily because of all the interest generated by the movie Gladiator.Īs a historical fiction author, it came as no surprise when Conn followed the Emperor series up with Conqueror, a collection of novels providing glimpses into the legend of the Warlords of Mongol.Ĭonn has since cemented his place as a true artist when it comes to taking historical occurrences and weaving them into tales that not only educate the masses but entertain them. However, despite his success in this arena, with Conn becoming head of his own department at one point, the author eventually left teaching to pursue his passion for writing.
And it came as no surprise when he eventually took to teaching English at Haydon School, essentially following in the footsteps of his mother. Conn took a deep interest in English at the University of London.
