Harry Nicholson
I've been studying the genealogy of Northern England since the 70s. Ordinary folk have no records before the mid 16thC - so I thought it a creative act to write a novel of the unrecorded generation before 1566. I have had to understand the landscape and social order those forgotten people inhabited. 'Tom Fleck' is the result of that. It was a joy to write.
