Martin Lake discovered his love of history and writing at an early age. After graduating, he worked as a teacher, college lecturer and conference co-odinator before deciding to combine his two passions and write a historical novel. Since then, he has written twenty novels and several collections of short stories. When not writing, he can be found traveling, cooking, and exploring fascinating places. He currently resides on the French Riviera with his wife.
