I was raised in Grantham, Lincolnshire and attended the King's Grammar School after passing the Eleven Plus exam. In the latter I clearly remember writing an essay on Oliver Cromwell – my first piece of military writing.
Then came a BA in history and international relations at Nottingham followed by a Master of Philosophy course at the University of York. The subject was the generalship and cavalry of Prince Rupert of the Rhine, my boyhood hero, during the English Civil War. The year I spent researching and writing at York, Oxford and at the British Library in London was a truly wonderful time.
I moved to London and eventually joined a small publishing company as an editor. Thus began my writing career. I now live in Lincolnshire with my wife Karen.

Alpine Warrior
|
Leon Muller is now the most formidable mercenary leader in all Christendom and a powerbroker in Hungary. With a sharp mind and a fierce spirit, he commands a loyal group of soldiers renowned for their strategic brilliance and unmatched tactical skills. But his band of mercenaries is not just a group of fighters but a brotherhood forged in the fires of battle, a mighty instrument victorious on battlefields in Italy, Thrace, Wallachia and Hungary.
But now, after the Ottoman hordes have been defeated, Leon finds himself in a Hungary rife with political turmoil and shifting alliances and must navigate a treacherous path. He and his men deserve peace but instead face never-ending war. They find themselves fighting an alliance that has powerful allies. For pulling the strings of his foes are the Habsburgs, the sworn enemies of the Swiss people who rule vast tracts of territory in the Holy Roman Empire and are determined to annihilate the Alpine warriors. 'Nemesis' sees the Leon and his friends fighting for their lives against implacable enemies in a war where no quarter is asked for, or given.
'Nemesis' is the seventh volume in the 'Alpine Warrior' series – the story of Swiss soldier Leon Muller in the wars of the 15th Century when Europe was riven by civil, religious, dynastic and imperial conflicts. Maps of the Hungary, Bohemia and the Holy Roman Empire are available to view and download for free on the maps page of my website.
