Dragonheart

The “Dragon Heart” Series is a set of historical fiction novels by English author Griff Hosker. Hosker was born in Lancashire in 1950 and went to a boy’s grammar school. He went to college and graduated in 1972 as a Drama and English teacher. He then went on to work for more than three decades in the Northeast of England. Working as a teacher, he wrote musicals, pantos, and plays for the students at the different schools, where he worked in. Once he quit teaching, he set up his own consultancy and became an adviser for colleges and schools in the North East of England. But when the new Conservative Government was installed, he was forced to find something else to do as they outlawed businesses such as his. By 2010 he found that he had a lot of time on his hands and as a man that had been working ever since he was fifteen, he hated not having something to do. Since Hosker had always loved history, he decided that this would be a great time to do some research on the Roman invasion of Britain. He intended to use the research to craft a novel that would later become his debut novel “The Sword of Cartimandua.”
