My passion for writing historical fiction stems from childhood visits to the castles of Edward “Longshanks” in North Wales. I have a great love for mountaineering, sailing, music, reading and old movies.

I am a full time independent writer. My novels include the bestselling ‘The Templar’s Apprentice’ and its three follow-ons which are set in the years up to, and including, the Third Crusade. ‘The Blood of Arthur’ tells of the young and turbulent life of Edward III. I also wrote a thriller, ‘Merriegold’, which is based upon MI5’s activities in post-WW1 Britain.

‘Red Deserts, Black Gods’, my latest novel, is the first of a proposed series set in Ancient Egypt.

The first is the sequel to ‘THE BLOOD OF ARTHUR’ and takes Edward from the execution of Roger Mortimer to the Battle of Crecy.

The second is in the planning stage and is a historical mystery thriller set twenty years after the demise of the Knights Templar.

Just to make life interesting I am also writing a novel about ancient Egypt, as if I hadn’t got enough on my plate.

To entice me off the computer, where I had been completing BLOOD AND HONOUR, my wife organised a trip into Wales. On a whim we crossed back into England and stopped off at Berkeley Castle.

Now, like most people, I knew about the deposition of Edward II, but as to where he had been imprisoned and supposedly murdered, I could not have told you without consulting Google. Anyway, I stood before a window that opened onto Edward of Caernarfon’s cell and realised that here was a story I wanted to tell; not about the deposed Edward but his son, Edward III.

For the life of me I could never recollect anyone having written a novel with the young king as the main character. THE BLOOD OF ARTHUR was conceived in that draughty hallway amongst the phantoms of the past.
