title: Loreticus (Lost Emperor Trilogy)
author:  J.B. Lucas 
description: JB has lived and studied in eight different countries so far, and has managed to appear desperately foreign in each. Passionate about high level politics, he studied the inner workings of the European Union as a degree with a view to eventually working in the arena of international border disputes. Although his career has (obviously) taken a rather different route, he is now writing about the obsession which has captivated him his entire life - the tectonic movements of states. JB is now resident in the darkest depths of leafy West London, where he writes using the inspiration of the India-Pakistan split, the founding of Israel, the identity crisis of Brexit and the maelstrom within the EU.
