A.M. Sardar
Hi, I’m AM Sardar, author of historical and contemporary fiction books, working in an Anglo-Asian fusion style.
I was born in the Punjab in Pakistan, emigrated to the UK as a small child and both cultures have influenced my writing.
I originally worked as a medical research scientist and have used my knowledge to inform my books, especially The Charlotte Holmes Mystery series, a homage to the Sherlock Holmes books.
My books focus on the clash between English and S. Asian cultures, through history and in modern times, with a satirical, sometimes farcical, eye and traverse multiple genres; historical mysteries, children fantasies, chick-lit, teenage & social dramas.
If you enjoy amusing, thoughtful adventure stories, with intricate plots, lace

LG Cunningham loves to write scary, spine-chilling, monster filled, ‘my-child-is-not-able-to-sleep’ stories. This term of endearment could be as a result of growing up in an Irish town filled with ghosts, being able to communicate with (and actually see) the dead or more than likely because his family used to rent him horror movies (pre-Netflix and pre-DVDs) when he was very little which had the affect of twisting his brain to the extent that he was - and still is - afraid of his own shadow.

Karel Jan Kosman was born free-spirited in Prague at the center of the ancient Celtic Boii homeland—that is, Bo-hemia. The Czech and Slovak Republics are now free, loved by their citizens and visitors alike, but after WWII, former Czechoslovakia enjoyed that freedom only for three short years.
