About the Author

Enter An Ancient World
Zara Altair combines mystery with a bit of adventure in the Argolicus Mysteries in southern Italy at the time of Ostrogoth rule. Italians (Romans) and Goths live under one king while the Roman Empire is ruled from Constantinople. At times the cultures clash, but Argolicus uses his wit, sometimes with help from his tutor Nikolaos, to provide justice in a province far from the King’s court.

Zara Altair lives in Beaverton, Oregon. Her approach to writing presents the puzzle and lets Argolicus and Nikolaos find the solution encountering a bit of adventure and some humor in their search. Her stories are rich in historical detail based on years of research.
