BIOGRAPHY
I live in the South Downs, in Sussex, and write in a small green hut at the end of the garden - mainly about history, politics, economics and the future. I find that history now absorbs me the most, from Richard the Lionheart to Enigma and with a great deal in between. I try to recapture some of the spirit, even the magic, of the past - I've also written quite widely about fairies (I find this doesn't sit easily with writing about economics, but I still wrestle with holding the two sides together...).

I've found myself more recently writing about codes and the navy, which is a lifelong fascination, and - most recently - writing about family members as well, in Unheard, Unseen (about early submarines) and my great-great-grandfather is the central figure in Scandal.

But then, where the magic and the economics can potentially come together is in fiction - notably in my Leaves the World to Darkness (fairies) and The Piper (money).
