About the author

My name is Hamish, I love to read historical fiction and fantasy books.

I live in Essex, England with my wife, beautiful son and cat. I used to live in London but prefer the beautiful scenery that Essex has to offer. I began writing in January 2014 but have wanted to write for many years, I just never got around to putting pen to paper. The Druid Chronicles is the first of many planned series. Wilmurin: Land of the Druids being my debut novel. I also write short horror stories, some of which are based on true events.

I love to hear any feedback from people who have read my books. Be it good or bad, good feedback drives me and bad reviews help me to improve myself. I write for the thrill and for even one person to read one of my books gives me a great feeling.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! Bye for now!
