Don Maker is a retired English and history teacher who lives in Northern California, USA. He has had the good fortune to wander extensively across the globe, and was a featured travel writer for Yahoo Voices. He is the author of “Zenobia”, an historical fiction novel, “The Grindstone”, a family saga, ”The Jersey Jupiters”, a sports comedy, and “Miranda’s Magic”, a young adult magical-realism novel. Most recently he has written a surrealistic play based on the life of Sigmund Freud, “Sigi and Carl”. He is currently working on two more historical fiction novels: “The Shakespeares and the Crown”, set in Tudor England, and “The Savior of Europe”, the story of Charles ‘Martel’, who united the Frankish dukedoms, drove the Muslims out of Europe, and established a kingdom for his grandson, Charlemagne. A member of the California Writers Club, Mt. Diablo Branch, Don has also published short stories and poetry, and writes screen and stage plays just for the fun of it.
