Featured Author

Each month I provide a short bio of one of the authors on the site. This month we will look at Julian Stockwin

Julian StockwinJulian Stockwin joined the Royal Navy when he was fourteen and went on to serve for eight years with the Royal Australian Navy, seeing active service with a carrier task force. He was one of the survivors of the collision between the aircraft carrier Melbourne and the destroyer Voyager, which sank taking the lives of eighty-two men. Julian retired a Lieutenant Commander and now lives in Devon with his wife Kathy, writing and travelling the world on location research.

He is writing a series of books about Thomas Kydd and his friend Nicholas Renzi. It starts in 1793 when Kydd, a wigmaker from Guilford, has been taken by a press gang.
