Fasziniert von der Geschichte des 16. und 18. Jahrhunderts, barocker Musik und Kunst, taucht dieser Autor in das Genre der historischen Fiktion ein. Seine vielfältigen Erfahrungen im britischen diplomatischen Dienst, einschließlich Auslandseinsätzen in Washington, Berlin und der Karibik, boten eine reiche Grundlage für das Verständnis politischer Dynamiken und menschlicher Intrigen. Seine Perspektive wurde weiter vertieft durch seine Arbeit an der Reform von Außenministerien in Konfliktgebieten und die Leitung eines bedeutenden Regenwaldschutzprojekts in Südamerika. Diese Mischung aus historischer Tiefe und globaler Einblicke ermöglicht es ihm, fesselnde Erzählungen über Verrat, Erlösung und Spannung vor lebendigen historischen Kulissen zu schaffen.
