Historian, author and illustrator
I am primarily an historian but have always needed to write. My first 'book' was about the adventures of Sam the Dog, written when I was in Infant School. Now, considerably older, my particular interests lie with 16th and 17th century social history.
The trilogy of Pendennis novels was inspired by Cornwall during the tumult of the Civil War years. Now my Muse is set on following the history Scottish Covenanters of the 1680s so a fourth novel is brewing. Fans of Hester will be pleased to know they haven't heard the last from her! For a sneak preview of Time's Chain go to my page Notes on things to come.
It's always the serendipitous discoveries that lead me down new research paths- where will I go next?
Have a look at the latest blog on the Quill Pen, Inky Fingers page to see where the latest expedition took me.
