Jack Dixon is the author of the award-winning historical novel, The Pict. A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jack grew up surrounded by the richness of American history, and his love for history and literature caught on early.

Jack lives in Delaware County, PA, where he’s hard at work on his second historical novel, as well as a significant expansion of The Pict. His second novel, set in medieval Europe, is due soon, to be followed by an expanded version of The Pict and a third historical novel.

"Jack Dixon creates a surreal landscape where the eerie sounds of a hundred pipes precede the Picts’ attacks on a Roman camp, and phantoms tattooed with demonic symbols emerge silently out of the night to kill their sleeping enemy. The sounds of the bodhrán drums pulse throughout the book, leaving the reader wanting to know more about the warriors who fought against the might of the greatest empire on earth and prevailed.”
— Mary Simonsen, author of Searching for Pemberley

“I suspect that many readers of The Pict will be left wanting more, much more,
from this new novelist of historical fiction."
— Floyd Orr, on AuthorsDen.com

“A well-written book recommended for any fan of historical fiction writers like Bernard Cornwell.”
— Michael S Katz, author of Shalom on the Range

“Jack Dixon has done an impressive job of writing an historical fiction piece that is highly readable, action filled, and evocative. I believe anyone who enjoys ancient history should find this an interesting, informative and entertaining work. Congratulations to Mr. Dixon on a fine first novel.”
— Barry Yelton, author of Scarecrow in Gray
