Ethan Bale is the pen name of Clifford Beal, a defense journalist in both Washington and London before he turned to writing historical novels, non-fiction, and short stories. Despite writing about modern military technology for much of his career, he was always passionate about times past, particularly the Renaissance and early modern Europe. Indeed for many years he donned full medieval armor to participate in fighting tournaments in the US and UK. He is also active in the suspense and crime genres, with a new novel forthcoming in 2026. His first published book, Quelch’s Gold (2007), is the true story of an 18th century Anglo-American privateer tried for piracy in 1704, a case that made legal history on both sides of the Atlantic. Clifford originally hails from Providence, Rhode Island and resides in East Sussex, England.
