THEY SAY EVERY AUTHOR’S FIRST NOVEL IS AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL. DOES THAT APPLY TO ME? No. Of course, I have drawn on many of my experiences in life. AM I ONE OF MY CHARACTERS?? No. I do, however, usually give my central character certain of my characteristics, but there are always some important differences too. It is important to be able to identify with your hero to a certain extent. IS GEOFFREY MONMOUTH MY REAL NAME? No. It is a pen-name. I use it because I write other types of fiction and non- fiction under my real name and I believe it best to keep historical fiction separate from other kinds of writing. Otherwise the information about myself on this site is true. WHY THAT NAME? There was a writer in the Twelfth Century called Geoffrey of Monmouth. He was a monk living in Oxford. HOW AM I CONNECTED TO HIM? I think we have a lot in common. He wrote a mixture of fact and fiction in his histories. So do I. We both love some of the same things: History Writing Wales God WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY ABOUT MYSELF? I love animals, especially horses, and nature generally. I enjoy reading and writing mysteries, especially whodunits. If you share my loves, I hope you will enjoy my writing.
