Graham Barratt grew up in the historic city of Lichfield. After many years working in the telecommunications industry, he embarked on a variety of history projects. He soon realised that Irish history, in particular, was rich with untold stories, myths and legends that stirred his interest. His love of history soon became an obsession and so following many visits to Ireland and help from County Mayo people, he embarked on his first novel. He currently lives in Gloucestershire with his wife and best friend, Jill.
