About this author

After selling my first article at the age of eleven and my first story not long afterwards I've been published in a wide range of newspapers and magazines.

In 2006 the first of my non-fiction books, Champion Lancastrians, was published and since then Countryside Books have published Tales of Old Lancashire and Lancashire:Who Lies Beneath.

In June 2010 my first novel, The de Lacy Inheritance, was published my Myrmidon Books.

My second historical novel An Honourable Estate was published in June 2012 with a short prequel The Lady of Haigh.

My third novel, By Loyalty Bound, the story of the mistress of King Richard III, will be published by Claymore Press on 31st May 2013. You can see the book trailer on youtube: http://youtu.be/ZW9NeOKnhlk

I enjoyed this book and think it's well worth reading if you enjoy historical fiction. The story of Sadie and Ella was well plotted although I felt that it slowed too much in the middle and became slightly repetitive before racing towards an action...more
The Perfect Prince by Ann Wroe
