Carolyn HughesCAROLYN HUGHES has lived much of her life in Hampshire. With a first degree in Classics and English, she started working life as a computer programmer, then a very new profession. But it was technical authoring that later proved her vocation, word-smthing for many different clients, including banks, an international hotel group and medical instruments manufacturers.Although she wrote creatively on and off for most of her adult life, it was not until her children flew the nest that writing historical fiction took centre stage. But why historical fiction? Serendipity!Seeking inspiration for what to write for her Creative Writing Masters, she discovered the handwritten draft, begun in her twenties, of a novel, set in fourteenth century rural England... Intrigued by the period and setting, she realised that, by writing a novel set in the period, she could learn more about the medieval past and interpret it, which seemed like a thrilling thing to do. A few days later, the first Meonbridge Chronicle, Fortune's Wheel, was under way.Six published books later (with more to come), Carolyn does now think of herself as an Historical Novelist. And she wouldn't have it any other way...Carolyn has a Master's in Creative Writing from Portsmouth University and a PhD from the University of Southampton. Read More Read Less
