Bryan Crockett, Ph.D., teaches and writes as a professor of English literature at Loyola University Maryland. His first novel, Love’s Alchemy, short-listed for the HNS Novel Award and the Tuscany Prize, features the brilliant, tormented poet and adventurer John Donne as he attempts to outwit the Machiavellian politician Robert Cecil. Love’s Alchemy will be released by Five Star in March, 2015. Review copies are available at the 2014 HNS Conference. Crockett enjoys reading (of course), playing in the surf, and working with his hands. He once designed a house framed entirely with mortised and pegged oak timbers, and with a friend, built it.
