My name is Gary Devore and I am both an archaeologist and author. I have taught at universities in the United States and in the UK, and have led archaeological excavations at Roman forts in Britain and the ancient Italian city of Pompeii. I now teach classes online for Stanford University and write novels and short stories from a house I built in the woods of New Hampshire. My academic interests include Roman art, archaeology, and history. I have a long association and great interest in Hadrian's Wall and its associated archaeological sites. I consider Northumberland and Cumbria two of the most beautiful and striking areas of the UK and return as often as I can. I have a website for all contacts (including commission work) at garydevore.com and although I unfortunately share a name with a Hollywood screenwriter who died mysteriously in 1997, you can easily find my fiction and academic work with some online searching. I love hearing from anyone who enjoyed my audio tours on VoiceMap!
