David Pilling, author

I'm a writer and researcher, addicted to history for as long as I can remember. The medieval era has always held a fascination for me, perhaps because I spent much of my childhood exploring the misted ruins of castles in Wales. I also have an interest in the Byzantine Empire, the post-Roman period in Britain and the British & Irish Civil Wars.
"History tells us what people do; historical fiction helps us imagine how they felt..."
I write historical fiction and nonfiction. All of my fictional works are available on Kindle and ebook. My first nonfiction work for Pen & Sword is available in hardback. Click on any cover on the slideshow to find out more.
