Michael Ward



Mike Ward is an English creator of historical fiction. Born in Liverpool, he was a BBC journalist and journalism academic before turning to non-factual writing.

His debut novel 'The Rags of Time' is located in London in 1639. It marks the start of a tumultuous 40 years - civil war, regicide, republic and royal restoration. Politics, religion, commerce, science, medicine - none are left untouched by this ferment of change.

Mike believes it's the perfect setting for his hero Thomas Tallant's series of adventures, starting first with 'Rags'. He is currently working on its sequel.
