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.

Reviews

[Fred · Rating 5 out of 5]

I always enjoy reading books by this author. This was #15 in the series and I've already bought #16 which I hope to read soon. A historical fiction, it takes place in 12th century England. Hosker uses real characters from history and builds his story around a fictional character skillfully intertwining the two. There a plots, treachery and lots of battles, making for entertaining and exciting reading.

Meh

I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series so far. This one is a good story, but there are several inconsistencies with the previous books. People’s names changed, places changed. Little things but noticeable if you’re paying attention.

Enjoyable

A good read although a few name changes made it a bit less enjoyable but still a good book would recommend

Best set of stores, they can stand alone or read all of them. Keep up the great work.
