I studied history at Cambridge and grew up in the Isle of Man where my great grandfather was chaplain to the Manx Parliament. During World War 1 he visited the Knockaloe internment camp and was a fried of the camp’s censor. His letters were the inspiration for this book combined with my passion for history. I have always loved writing but pressure of work left little time for it unlit recently. I am a member of the Jericho Writer’s Club. I live in Wiltshire with my wife, and work as an educational consultant in the UK and China. If patriots were to be successful I have an idea for a possible sequel. I have not yet developed a social media presence but this is a priority for me in the next few months.
