I was born in Liverpool a long time ago and was raised to be a prolific reader. I love the classics, Austin, Dickens, Bronte' and anything historical from the Mesolithic period to the the Social Reforms of the 19th century. (not the Tudor's though). Having discovered Richard III when I read Josephine Tey, Daughter of Time, aged 13, I have been an unashamed Ricardian ever since. I have one more Soldier novel planned and "The Sentinel" a supernatural tale involving Viking settlers will follow that
