How long have you lived in the USA?
About ten years now.
What's the story behind your latest book?
About eighteen months ago, my brother-in-law, who still lives in a small village in North Wales, with my sister introduced me to the story of a Welsh Prince named Madog. Who, legend had it sailed from Wales across the Atlantic; and into the Gulf of Mexico before eventually making landfall in what is now modern day Alabama. This was in the 12th century, thus predating the arrival of Columbus by almost three hundred years.
Intrigued, I started researching the story and found myself being drawn deeper into it. What started out as an idea for a blog, grew into a novel. Perhaps the fact that I completed the same journey (albeit many hundreds of years later and without the hardships and hazards that these intrepid explorers endured) as Prince Madog meant that it struck a poignant chord with me!
