Publications

As of August 2011 he has published five novels, four under the name Douglas Jackson and one under the pen name James Douglas. Jackson's first novel was Caligula (2008), the story of a young slave and animal trainer, Rufus, who becomes keeper of the famously mad Emperor's elephant, Bersheba. Rufus and his friend, the famous gladiator, Cupido, struggle to stay alive in the complex web of plot and counter plot in Caligula's court on the Palatine Hill. This was followed in 2009 by Claudius, which continues Rufus's story as he accompanies another Emperor on the invasion of Britain in 43 AD. In 2010, Hero of Rome, the first of a new trilogy featuring the tribune G. Valerius Verrens, was published. It will be followed on August 18, 2011, by Defender of Rome. The third, Avenger of Rome will be published in 2012. Jackson's first thriller, The Doomsday Testament (James Douglas), follows art recovery expert Jamie Saintclair as he tries to unravel the mystery behind his soldier grandfather's final mission of World War Two, a quest which brings him within a fingertip of the most famous painting still missing from the war, and a buried secret that could destroy the world or safeguard the future of mankind. Douglas Jackson's books are available as ebooks.
