Hi, I am Chris Dewar the author of The Dyrne Hill
Series of books. I was born in Weybridge, Surrey
into a very large and extended family and spent
most of my childhood roaming wild on my bike,
building camps whenever and wherever I could, or
making up stories of mysteries, treasure and ghosts for my siblings and cousins to enjoy. As a young adult I travelled but finally settled in Hampshire with my husband and three children.
If you love adventure, historical mystery fiction and folklore with a touch of the supernatural then this is a great book for you. 10+
