About the author
Griff Hosker
305 books419 followersI 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.

There is an astounding amount of activity for the limited amount of pages. I've read books with triple the page count, that has half as much activities going on. He is also a master at crafting engaging characters.

The Anarchy Series by Hosker is excellent. This is the 9th of the series and the intrigue, the plot, and the characters are all well-drawn and compelling. Highly recommended if you enjoy historical fiction.

Another great read!
Griff Hosker has again written a great book. The story is well written and could be a historical account instead of fiction. The treachery and intrigue of they story is fantastic! I look forward to reading the next book!

Book #9 in the series, and I haven't tired of them yet. Exciting, interesting books and I intend to keep on reading in the series.

nice story
A very good story. The author has written a fictional work about a period in history that I find very interesting.
