Rod Kackley

I quit my job to write. That’s how much love writing. It’s also an indication of how utterly frustrated I was with my life as a middle manager in a national corporation. Mid-life crisis? No, I don’t think so. It’s more that I saw the finish line approaching more rapidly than I expected thirty years before.

What I am is what I write.

The characters in the St. Isidore Collection, the people who live in this town I have created in my mind, all contain some thread of me. Let’s be honest. I write what I know. And I know the frustration of listening to the millennials at work talk about their plans for the next thirty years, and suddenly realizing I don’t have thirty years left.

Mark Garber

I'm a former police officer who decided to write a book on leaving the force. To be honest, I never wanted to be a writer, I was doing it as "a project." I thought my first book would be my last. But as so many kind people have asked me to write another one, I am!

As a lover of history, I was drawn to the case of the Princes of the Tower. Things are not as clear cut as they may first appear!

I now live in the village of Bakewell in Derbyshire, with my wife and our rather large St Bernard!
