I have been writing for most of my life, on and off. It's a passion with me, as is my interest in the middle ages. Given that, I suppose it was inevitable that I'd end up writing historical fiction.

So far I've had two novels published. Within the Fetterlock deals with the life of Constance of York, an English princess who lived in the reigns of Richard II and Henry IV, who were both her cousins. Fetterlock took forever to research and write - it was almost literally a lifetime's work. Certainly I could never devote so much of my life to another book, even if I wanted to. However, Constance fascinated me, and I hope you will enjoy reading about her and her family. (Almost all the main characters in the book are related, so it is a sort of extended-family saga!)

The Adventures of Alianore Audley is a light-hearted work reporting the doings of Constance's putative granddaughter as an intelligence agent in the era of the Yorkist kings. Alianore isn't conventional hist-fic., and if you take your history very seriously, you may not like it!

 If you want to know more, I have had a few interviews that you can find on-line.

These were quite searching interviews and will tell you quite a bit about me and my writing, if you're interested.

For the rest of the 'David Copperfield' stuff, I'm quite a private person, really. I've lived most of my life within a few miles of Manchester, England - currently in Bury, Lancashire.

I'd really prefer to live in Norfolk, or possibly North Wales, but you lot haven't quite bought enough of my books to finance the move. I'm married to Christine, since 1989, and we don't have any kids. (We used to have greyhounds, but right now we can't take any on as we are looking after my elderly mother and she isn't strong enough on her feet to cope with 80 pounds of excited sighthound!)
