AUTHOR BIO

Brian Sellars: author of TUPPENNY HAT DETECTIVE and other fiction. Saxons’ geek, dog lover, woodworker, time traveller, real ale drinker and old plonker.

‍

I was born in 1941 on the edge of the Peak District, in a suburb of Sheffield, overlooking roaring steelworks and gloriously beautiful moorland. I attended St Vincent’s Secondary Modern School in Sheffield. At fifteen I started work in the steelworks as an apprentice electrician. This led to a career in sales and management in the heavy engineering services sector, which required me to travel extensively throughout Europe, the Far East, North America and Australasia. My customers were usually building oil refineries, power stations or drilling rigs in outlandish places.

‍

I love writing and the time travel it bestows. I am a keen student of history, in particular the Anglo-Saxon settlement period. My first novel, The Whispering Bell, is set in the Peak District of this period. It was spotted by publisher Quaestor2000 Ltd., on the writers' website YouWriteOn.com where it was a prize winner.

‍

My second novel, Tuppenny Hat Detective, written for adult and teenage readers, is very different, being a nostalgic and funny detective story set in Sheffield in 1951. This became the first of a series, which now includes; Dance Floor Drowning and Mother Goose Murders. My novel TIME ROCKS, is of another very different genre. It is a sci-fi, time travel story, also written for both teenage and adult readers.

‍

Now retired, I enjoy the luxury of writing every day. Luckily, I’m able to pursue a number of other interests too, including; hiking, watching wildlife, gardening, and woodworking. My fascination with history persists and takes me all over the country on what I call research trips, but which my wife calls “looking at bumps in fields”. My wife and I live in a village on the Somerset Wiltshire border near the lovely old town of Bradford on Avon.
