Joseph Elliott: Hello, my name is Joseph Elliott.
Now, there are a few theories about where the surname Elliott comes from, but most people agree it originates from a Scottish clan that lived on the borderlands between Scotland and England during medieval times. The clan were infamous for being pretty ruthless fighters and thieves because, at that time, people on the borders were always battling.
Perhaps that's why I ended up writing a series centered around Scottish clans and ancient feuds because it's in my Elliott's family blood.
