About This Author
This is my second book, detailing the latter part of Alfred's incredible life. Originally, I planned this be available late 2015, I hope. What happens after that may well depend how popular books one and two are, so .... spread the word.
I am a little over 50 and earn a living teaching English in the middle of the Czech Republic, where I live in a house in a sleepy village with my wonderful wife and super son. I've been here quite a while now, after teaching in a few other European countries and doing lots of other various jobs in England and also abroad. When I have a little time I also enjoy the veg garden and preparing wood for the winter fire, plus I have a couple of bonsais. I grew up mainly in Cambridgeshire in eastern England, mostly on the family farm, with numerous brothers and sisters.
I was inspired to write this book by Bernard Cornwell's fab Warrior series and originally thought to give him the idea to write this story through the eyes of the monarchs but he cannot accept story ideas, plus I had an operation which meant I couldn't walk anywhere for a couple of weeks so this, after doing a writing course online, is how I filled the time.
I hope you enjoy reading the book half as much as I did writing it, because if you do you have a treat in store.
If you have any comments you can find my email address at the end of the book.
