After qualifying as an English and Drama teacher in 1972, he worked in the North East of England for the next 35 years. During that time he did write, mainly plays, pantos and musicals for the students at the three schools in which I worked. When he stopped teaching he set up his own consultancy firm and worked as an adviser in schools and colleges in the North East of England. The new Conservative Government ended that avenue of work and in 2010 he found that he had time on his hands; having started work at the age of 15 he found the lack of work not to my liking and used the time to research the Roman invasion of Britain and begin to create a novel. The result was The Sword of Cartimandua.","brand":"Lume Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525667688722,"sku":"9781839012839","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_90a0d82a-0dd3-4fbd-a887-960c0b771caa.jpg?v=1731231671","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/targets-of-treachery-a-gripping-action-packed-historical-epic-9781839012839","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
