Andrew Varga is the author of The Jump in Time series of historical adventure novels, including The Last Saxon King, The Celtic Deception, The Mongol Ascension, The Spartan Sacrifice, and Ordeal at Orleans. His fiction draws upon a lifelong fascination with the people, cultures, and defining events of the past, weaving historical detail into compelling narratives of adventure and discovery.
Varga's passion for history began when his mother revealed their family's Viking ancestry. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Toronto, specializing in history and majoring in English. His continuing study of European history has taken him to castles, museums, battlefields, and other historic sites throughout Europe. An avid collector of medieval arms and armor, Varga brings both scholarly curiosity and a personal appreciation of material history to his writing.
Inspired by his children's enthusiasm for historical fiction and fantasy, Varga began creating stories that bring the distant past to life for contemporary readers. He lives in the greater Toronto area, where he continues to pursue his interests in history, literature, and music.
