Simon Acland started writing in 2007 when his venture capital company was sold.
The truth about the Holy Grail?
His two novels, The Waste Land and The Flowers of Evil, are historical adventure stories set at the turn of the Eleventh Century. Their hero is Hugh de Verdon, a monk turned Crusader knight. The books draw on the original Grail romance of Chrétien de Troyes, mixing in other myths and mysteries, legends and literary references, all placed in the extraordinary historical events of the First Crusade.

"Sex, violence and more than a dash of romance: Simon Acland's gripping First Crusade mystery thriller rivals the Da Vinci Code for interest and suspense.” |
