Writer, Teacher, enthusiast for all things loud, sharp or fast

Welcome! I write what I love, mainly historical fantasy but with pleasant little side trips into the land of Sci-fi. As well as the usual catalogue of books I'll put some historical and reading notes here for each series. There's also my blog where I witter on about whatever takes my fancy. I can be found lurking on Facebook and Twitter, buttons at the bottom of the page. Alternatively, send me an email. It is always nice to have something else to do apart from work.
