SHAKESPEARE'S GHOST
opus 2
An Historical Mystery Novel

     History has come to believe that the plays of William Shakespeare were not written by the man known as William Shakespeare but by another man - who chose to remain unknown. This is the story - in his own words - of the man who lived and died as Romeo, Falstaff, Hamlet and Lear, before he lived forever - as Shakespeare.

     On February 10, 2002, The New York Times revealed the mounting claim of Edward DeVere, 17th Earl of Oxford, as that author.

     Now, with all the intimacy of stunning fiction, Shakespeare’s Ghost tells the comedy, history, tragedy & romance of “Who’s It” in a classic novel of character more gripping than The Daughter of Time.

“The greatest mystery ever told!”
- John Galsworthy

The story of a poet as told by a poet - funny, heartbreaking and magnificent.
