I was born one Christmas Day, which means, as a child, I lost out on presents. Nonetheless, looking back on it, I lived a childhood with a “silver spoon in my mouth” – brought up in a rambling manor house in the beautiful Devon countryside.

It’s been downhill ever since.

I was a librarian for a long time, a noble profession. Then I started a series called History In An Hour which I sold, along with my soul, to HarperCollins UK.

I now live in London with my wife, two children and dog (a fluffy cockapoo) and write historical fiction, mainly 20th century war and misery.

The photo is of a much younger me as a wannabe New Romantic. I look a bit older now.

One last thing...

Now that you have finished reading, please consider leaving a review, even just a few words. Reviews are a great way for readers to discover great new books and, for a self-published author, really helps spread the word. I would truly appreciate it. Thank you.
