About the Author: . I spent a good few years holding a naval commission. On leaving the Service I spent three years retraining in horticulture, then went on to bring several large estate gardens to an acceptable conditions over twenty years. From Surrey and Hampshire I moved to west London, England and began writing. The journey has been an interesting one, partly from research of the period but mainly from what has been described as an overactive imagination. It has been great fun, but at the same time seriously researched. Just in case you wondered; yes, I've been a warrior (don't be fooled by my soft, cuddly exterior) have used both the cross and longbows and enjoy archery. I also took martial arts lessons, shoot guns, play golf and fish, and simply love ancient history. Oh, and climbed trees too. When I get time, I write.
