Patrick MacDonald

After a successful career as a Company Secretary with a major national charity, I ran my own consultancy for four years working mainly in the not-for-profit sector.

I’ve now stopped doing this so I can concentrate solely on writing.

The Faces That You Meet was my first novel. The second one, Darkness Falling, is described below. I am currently working on a third novel, The Invitation, which is a psychological thriller.

I have an English degree from a Welsh University, Aberystwyth: they let you in if you could spell it. I chose Aberystwyth because I had chronic asthma in my youth and I thought a coastal University might sort it out which rather miraculously it did! I also went to Aberystwyth without bothering to check it out first – this was a

Derville Murphy

Art, history, and books are my passion and now I am lucky enough to be able to combine all three. For many years I worked as an art consultant. During this time, I also painted and exhibited my own work. But about fifteen years ago, I decided to go back to college to get a deeper knowledge of art and history. While I was there, I got hooked on the detective work that is involved in historical research. However, I found that days spent pouring over ancient volumes in dusty libraries don’t always yield the results to tell a compelling story. And I started thinking about, painting, and telling stories, as a way for me to get a clearer understanding of the past.
As well as painting and writing, I am an avid reader, a member of a rowdy book club,
