Visigothic (ePub)

Jay Patrick Newcomb has been an avid fan of medieval literature such as the Arthurian legends and the great Icelandic Sagas for many years. Of particular interest was the famous Volsung saga from which his Visigothic Saga draws inspiration as well as Beowulf. He counts the German Opera Composer Richard Wagner and his Ring des Nibelungen, William Shakespeare's historical plays such as Henry V, and J.R.R Tolkien works to be of great inspirations for him-and last but not in any way the least the Bible, the Books of Enoch and the Zohar. From out of this inspiration and thus building on the shoulders of these giants, Jay P. Newcomb has put together the great Visigothic Saga which is a multivolume epic worthy of the best which came before it.
He is a fan of both English and German/Scandinavian history, in particular the epic time period from the year 500 to the year 1066. He has traced his own heritage back as far as the year 1166 in Saltfleetby, England and is very proud of his English and German heritage. In the 1980s Jay P. Newcomb was stationed in Fulda, Germany with the U.S. Army's famous 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (The Blackhorse), and was assigned to Observation Post Alpha along the East German Border-during the final years of the cold war. In his off time and when not deployed on other operations he was able to see many places and many castles in central Europe. His one regret is that he didn't travel to England while he was so close. From his memory of these old and famous places and their brooding structures complete with their statues of gargoyles and from the misty forests of Germany, Jay P. Newcomb has drawn upon many of those elements from his memories and incorporated them into his writing. In the last decade he received an ordination as a Messianic Rabbi. He continues to write his Visigothic saga with at least four unpublished manuscripts waiting in the wings as of this writing. He has built an entire world with this series with many colorful people
