The Author

Peter Tallon is a professional geologist who, after a period prospecting in East Africa and Egypt, joined the construction materials industry, rising to managing director of a multimillion pound company. Married with two children and three grandchildren, he has lived in Suffolk, England, for the last thirty-eight years where the beautiful coast and countryside forms the background to many of his books. Interested in all periods of history, rugby, and fine dining, he is now partially retired and able to devote more time to his true interests, which are writing and helping his wife, Jennifer, to manage the four-acre plot of land that surrounds their two-hundred-year-old house. Three dogs and two cats ensure that there is never a moment wasted.
