About the author

I was born in 1950 in Lancashire and attended a boy’s grammar school. After qualifying as an English and Drama teacher in 1972, I worked in the North East of England for the next 35 years. During that time I did write, mainly plays, pantos and musicals for the students at the three schools in which I worked.

When I stopped teaching I set up my own consultancy firm and worked as an adviser in schools and colleges in the North East of England. The new Conservative Government ended that avenue of work and in 2010 I found that I had time on my hands; having started work at the age of 15 I found the lack of work not to my liking and used the time to research the Roman invasion of Britain and begin to create a novel. The result was The Sword of Cartimandua.

My decision to begin writing was one of the best I have ever taken.

Ibland är det oerhört skönt med litteratur som inte kräver mycket, men däremot är gott hantverk. Hosker brukar leverera sådant. så även denna gång.

Once again, the Warlord - Alfraed the Knight of the Empress - rids his world of the truly bad guys. He pays the penalty of being true to his word with the losses of family and friends, but that is devastating but acceptable loss. It is SO gratifying to read these series of Griff Hosker where there are still heroes who will accept nothing less than what is right. I believe that this is the third time that I have re-read the "Anarchy Series" - and still, I'm surprised with nuances and facts that I passed over the last times! If the times of the foundations of English Common Law is of interest, or you simply want to know how we came to this point in time historically - try any of the works of Griff Hosker. And, my thanks to him for the work he does to bring the history alive!

Hoskin's 11th novel in the series is an exciting story of treachery, plots and battles. This one is as good as all the rest in the series. I've bought the next two and I am looking forward to some more entertaining reading in the near future.
