Varga, Andrew: - Ever since his mother told him he was descended from Vikings, Andrew Varga has had a fascination for history.
In his spare time, when he isn\'t writing or editing, Andrew reads history books, jams on guitar, or plays beach volleyball..
It was his children\'s love of reading, particularly historical and fantasy stories, that inspired Andrew to write this series.
Andrew currently lives in the greater Toronto area with his wife Pam, their three children, and their mini-zoo of two dogs, two cats, a turtle, and some fish.
He has also used both longbows and crossbows, built a miniature working trebuchet, knit his own shirt of chain mail, and earned a black belt in karate.
He is skilled in fencing and Kendo--the Japanese art of sword fighting.
During his travels he accumulated a collection of swords, shields, and other medieval weapons that now adorn his personal library.
Andrew has traveled extensively across Europe, where he toured some of the most famous castles, museums, and historical sites that Europe has to offer.
He\'s read hundreds of history books, watched countless historical movies, and earned a BA from the University of Toronto with a specialist in history and a major in English.
