Marine Reservist Lance Cpl. David Roach spent six years learning infantry tactics, machine gunnery, bulk fuels and heavy equipment while serving in the Marine Corps from 2002-2008. He uses his experiences to add to the realism behind the fantasy of his characters in his five-novel Vikings series called 'Marauder'. His books also reflect his military experience because he does not shy away from dark humor, cursing or the brutality of war. Roach started with self-publishing his first few novels but after a positive review from a professor of Norse archaeology, he picked up a publisher. Roach's books are available on Amazon.com at www.amazon.com -- search for the author D.W. Roach.
