Robert Brightwell

Biography

While I write for some of my living, Flashman and the Seawolf is my first novel. I enjoyed the Flashman series of books written by George MacDonald Fraser and the way that they brought history to life through the eyes of a fictional character. Sadly GM Fraser died a few years ago and there will be no more of those. As he had taken the Flashman character from Tom Brown's School Days written by Thomas Hughes, it seemed fair to introduce an earlier generation of the Flashman family.

This first book centres of one of my historical heroes, whose real life exploits make the fictional adventures of Hornblower and Aubrey look positively dull. Hopefully this will make up for any shortcomings as I learn the art of writing a novel. One of the hardest challenges in this book was making events that actually happened sound remotely plausible!

This first book covers his adventures with Thomas Cochrane, one of the most extraordinary naval commanders of all time.
