Luke PittawayDr. Luke Pittaway is the Professor of Entrepreneurship at Ohio University. He has been an academic since 1998 and he earned his PhD from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The author worked in universities both in the UK and the US, founding entrpreneurship programs and has published over fifty academic papers and book chapters in his discipline. In 2008 Pittaway emigrated to the United States, and Georgia specifically, to settle in Statesboro, located near Savannah. At this time, he became fascinated with the colonial history of North America and especially the states of Georgia and Ohio. He soon realized that many people were unfamiliar with aspects of American history prior to the War of Independence, and this motivated him to write about the founding histories of colonial North America in an accessible way that would be appealing to readers of historical fiction.
