Selwyn Parker

A champion triathlete and devout cyclist, Selwyn Parker is the history-loving author of a dozen books. He spends two or three months every year cycling the back roads of France on his Montague folding bike, often in company with his wife Margaret, a former triathlete. Proficient in French, he's just finished the first of a trilogy of novels set in France and England in the opening years of the 12th century. And he's about to release a ghosted biography called All the Oceans, a salty yarn about the remarkable life of yacht designer and ocean-racer Ron Holland with a foreword by client Rupert Murdoch.
