I’m often asked: "Have you always wanted to be an author?" The simple answer is no, I was 43 when my first book was published, but I have been an author as long as I can remember. Growing up in Scotland I compensated for a lonely childhood by making up stories in my head and all I do now is write those stories down.
History is the trigger for my stories: WWI (Shot at Dawn, And in the Morning), WWII (Flames of the Tiger, Four Steps to Death), or the Wild West (Written in Blood, Ghost Moon). I firmly believe that the decisions a Roman Legionary (Germania), a boy caught up in the Spanish Civil War (Lost in Spain) or a starving Arctic explorer (North with Franklin), had to make were just as confusing and frightening as any of the decisions we have to make today. That's what I try to bring out in my thirty plus fiction and non-fiction books for kids, teens and adults.
