Ted Dexter
Ted is my most prolific character, the basis of twelve books to date. The Lost Man, published this year, is the first of these and it sets Ted up as the reluctant agent he is to become.
Separated from his unit, he makes his own way to the coast in 1940 only to find that the Dunkirk beach is being picked over by German soldiers. Luckily for Ted, he has joined forces with two other stragglers and is able to make a daring escape, which brings him to the attention of the PM.
Churchill decides that Ted is to become his personal agent, to fight the Germans when the war is going so badly.
The Lost Man series began with a name - Ted Dexter - and evolved into an entire series of books. The other main characters are based on people I know - John Guy was my uncle and a WW2 pilot, Tyrone Miglorine was a friend from the Army.
I tried to include the names of other friends in the series. One of these jokingly asked to be a Japanese Admiral. It was a difficult brief but he was included in The Dark Sun, Ted's eighth adventure.
