I was, for over 35 years, an English teacher. After running a successful Educational Consultancy company for four years I decided to return to an early passion, writing. As I love the works of C.S Forester, Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane, Alexander Kent and Bernard Cornwell I began writing my Roman historical fiction novels, the Sword of Cartimandua. Since then my catalogue has been expanded so that it covers everything from the building of Hadrian’s Wall to the Korean War. A complete catalogue is available on my website.
In the last 12 years I have written a number of series from my Roman Books, through Saxons, Vikings, Norman, Stephen and Matilda, The Crusades, King John, King Richard II, Tudor England and the conquest of the Americas by the Conquistadores; At the moment I am up to Henry Vth and Agincourt. I have also written an American Civil War series as well as the Napoleonic War. Two of my most recent series are set in World War I and World War II. The former is about the RFC and the latter is about the Commandos.
I have also written about the wars of the late eighteenth century. As of October 2023 I have published 180 books. My most popular series are the Dragonheart series (Viking Period), The Anarchy Series, The Lord Edward’s Archer Series (King Edward 1st) and the Sir John Hawkwood series about Italian condottiere. I write at least 5000 words each day and I love my life as a writer. My readers are a constant source of information and active criticism. I try to respond to every reader. My books are now owned and published by Sword Books Ltd.
