Christopher Webster was brought up in Conisbrough, Yorkshire, which is well-known for its magnificent castle. The castle and its link with England's founding father, Hengest, inspired his interest in the Anglo-Saxon period. His first publication was Poetry Through Humour and Horror. This was followed by many more publications, including a wide range of fiction, drama and poetry culminating in his "masterpiece" pentalogy, English Dawn. He is currently retired and living his dream to be a full-time writer (though when the words won't flow, it is sometimes a nightmare!)
