About Aidan K Morrissey

After an international legal career, Aidan turned to writing, inspired by history, travel, and archaeology. His novels range from ancient Egypt to contemporary thrillers, and now to Anglo-Saxon England in The Tacnbora Chronicles (Exile and Pagans and King’s Shadow). Based in Northumberland, he leads a popular writing group at The Word and is the founder of Larbok Creative, helping others find their voice through writing.
