Colin Falconer

I have been a writer all my life. It’s all I ever wanted to do, except for a brief dream of being a pro footballer. I started out in advertising as a copywriter, then worked as a journalist, a magazine columnist and a script writer for radio and television before becoming a full-time novelist.

I love adventure and travel and that has shaped the kind of books I write. Early in my career I developed a passion for Wilbur Smith novels. I also love Cornwell and Follett. When I publish a book, I’m hoping to share it with other readers like me, who crave adventure, and stories with action and twists, but also love something else – exotic locations, long ago times and unforgettable characters. The kind of stories that stay with you long after you fi

My primary interest is historical, either fiction or non fiction, but I can enjoy most anything from Jane Austin to Kipling to J K Rowling. I have been very quiet on this site, but I think I might be a bit more active now.

Antony Melville-Ross

ANTONY MELVILLE ROSS was a thriller writer of unusual quality. He was an excellent craftsman who constructed his stories with skill and wrote clear uncluttered prose, and his work has a ring of authenticity which in fact owed as much to personal experience as to the liveliness of his imagination and to his gifts as a storyteller.

The six novels that he published between 1978 and 1985 arise equally from his service as a sub- mariner in the Second World War, in which he was awarded the DSC and rose to command his own boat, and the Cold War world of the Secret Service into which he transferred soon after the end of the war. He wrote them in inverse order, beginning with the spy novels and then going on to submarines. His first book, Blindfold (
