Author Information

L. J. Trafford studied ancient history at the University of Reading, after which she took a job as a tour guide in the Lake District. Moving to London in 2000, she began writing the Four Emperors series. The series comprises four books-Palatine, Galba's Men, Otho's Regret, and Vitellius' Feast-which cover the dramatic fall of Nero and the chaotic year of the four emperors that followed. She is a regular contributor to The History Girls blog and once received an Editor's Choice mark from The Historical Novel Society. Her proudest moment remains creating #phallusthursday, a popular Twitter hashtag dedicated to depictions of penises in antiquity. Lucy Rayner is an award-winning British actress. Bitten hard by the acting bug whilst performing at the Edinburgh Festival as a teenager, she has gone on to work on both sides of the Atlantic in a number of theater productions and films, many of which have screened at festivals around the world. She loves to tell stories and voice characters in a number of British regional accents and has narrated many wonderful audiobooks. She has a master's degree in history from the University of Edinburgh and is a graduate of the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York City.
