Steven A. McKay

I was born in Scotland in 1977 and always enjoyed studying history. I decided to write my Forest Lord novels after seeing a house called “Sherwood” when I was out at work one day. Since then I've started a new series, the Warrior Druid of Britain Chronicles. In 2021 the Xbox game HOOD: Outlaws and Legends was released, featuring my writing, and that was just a fantastic experience. I used to be in a heavy metal band although I tend to just play guitar in my study these days. I did use those guitars to write the theme song for the podcast I co-host, Rock, Paper, Swords! with Matthew Harffy, though. Give it a listen, we've interviewed great guests like Erin Young, Simon Scarrow, Bernard Cornwell, Dan Jones and more! In 2022 I signed a deal with Canelo to write a series about Alfred The Great, so look out for the first book, The Heathen Horde, being published by them in October 2023.
