Alexander Travell

Alexander Travell, the mind behind “Crispin D’Or and the Ice Pirates,” traces his literary journey back to works by iconic sci-fi authors like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke and the less prominent Paul Kearney or David Gemmell. Intrigued by the storytelling, Alex read multiple genres ranging from history, science fiction, and the realms of science fantasy.

The imaginative fiction blended into these stories, while captivating, left Travell yearning for tales grounded in reality. He found inspiration in authors like Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden, who brought history to life with vivid narratives. These writers nurtured Alexs’ diverse palette across genres, inspiring a dozen completed works that, not all of which are yet in the public domain, reflect his appetite for storytelling.

Beyond the realm of fiction, his professional journey spans over three decades in the field of lighter-than-air technology, where he honed his writing skills, crafting manuals, directives, marketing flyers, handbooks, and a myriad of other documents. His experience in drafting proposals, developing training programs, and compiling comprehensive reports mirrors his commitment to precision and clarity in communication.

Alexs’ writing journey, from the early days of hand-written manuscripts to navigating typewriters and eventually entering into the digital realm with PCs and MacBooks, underscores his evolution as a writer. Through “Crispin D’Or and the Ice Pirates” and his other works, he continues to captivate readers across diverse genres with his passion for storytelling and commitment to creating engaging stories.<<
