Ron Arnold

Born and raised in 'Post-War" London, England, and raised in a typical English working-class family with ties to the Royal Navy. I loved history, languages, and a desire to know how things worked! This introduced me to the many things tha any normal child of the years between 1948 and the very memorable 1960s would need. Reading was my escape from the torments of life, and writing soon followed. Later in life, I was fortunate to write for a Canadian Magazine, but I always wanted to write a novel. Frankly, I had no idea how long a Novel would take, and this one, complete with the necessary research and planning process required, has absorbed about four years of my life! Having now finished this work, I hope that this book captures the reader enough to transport them back to a time of romance on the high seas, relentless adventure, and Elizabethan drama, filled with fire and excitement.
