ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jacob Fenn
Stories at the meeting place of history,
the sea and human ambition.
History is the map.
The human journey is the story.
Jacob Fenn is a writer based in Bangalore. His fiction explores the people and trade networks that connected India with the wider ancient world, drawing on ancient maps, archaeology and historical research.
Before turning to writing, Jacob spent many years as a finance executive with a multinational company, working in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. He took early retirement to pursue writing and his other interests.
His forthcoming debut, The Spice Road to Muziris, follows a Tamil mariner through shipwreck, transformation and the maritime world linking the Malabar Coast with Ptolemaic Egypt. It will be published by Vine Leaf Press in 2028.
He is also working on another novel set in the same historical world, nearly two centuries later.
