Muse & the Marketplace 2019

Cameron Dryden

Historical Fiction, CliFi Writer
Boston, Massachusetts

My first novel is historical fiction of Nero, Saint Paul and the slave Onesimus in Ancient Rome, Greece and Asia Minor. It addresses slavery, people willing to die for their faith, and life under an insane emperor. Separately, I've begun a Climate Fiction trilogy.
