I'm Ian Honeysett and I write historical crime fiction with an old college friend, Pete Stevens, with whom I wrote a number of comedy reviews when we were students at the Kent College for the Careers Service. Pete tells me we agreed that, when we retired, we would write books together. And that is what we have done. We share a love of history and murder (purely theoretical of course). Together we have written 4 historical novels set during the French Revolution and I've written a free novella (The Odd Fellow). I am also part of Godalming Writers' Group, based in my home-town of Godalming (Surrey, England) which has produced 2 books of short stories: Godalming Tales 1 & 2.
I am married to Jan. We have 3 children and live in Godalming, Surrey. My interests include travelling (well, I am retired), running quizzes, military history, parish work, editing a newsletter for laryngectomees, painting and playing the ukulele.
Peter Stevens completed his degree in Business Studies at Middlesex University in 1975. In 1977 he completed his Diploma in Careers Guidance at The Kent College for The Careers Service. It was here he met his future co-author, Ian Honeysett and they started their writing partnership by writing end of term reviews together.
After a long tenure in the Careers Service, twenty years of which were spent as head of service in the London borough of Barnet, Peter retired and over the last ten years has spent much of his time writing books, four of which (the Bastille series) he has written in conjunction with Ian.
In addition to his writing and interest in history and crime fiction Peter retains his lifelong interest in cricket as well as playing chess and badminton. He is a regular quiz-goer and is a member of two teams. He lives in Walthamstow with his partner, Liz.
The Eighth Prisoner, the first in the Bastille Mysteries series, is set in Paris, summer 1789.
A desperate husband follows his unfaithful wife – and has his throat slit as a result. The consequences force together two very different characters: cynical, ambitious Inspector Rouget Maison and dedicated, rather world-weary, Abbé Pierre Reynard.
They first meet at the storming of the Bastille - the start of the French Revolution. Its seven prisoners have just been liberated when the bodies of two young women are also discovered in the cells.
One of them turns out to have held a great many secrets including an extremely compromising letter with details of a conspiracy at the very highest level.
Over a tumultuous summer, Maison and Reynard form an uneasy alliance to try to unmask the murderers and thwart the conspiracy.
Matters come to a head in October at the Women's March on Versailles. The stakes could not be higher….
