Lord David Prosser

About

A retired ex Local Government Officer with a horse mad wife, a cat who acts as my alarm clock at the time he wants me to get up, and a daughter who must be wonderful because she thinks her dad is. I live in a small village in North Wales and became an author almost by accident when a friend liked a day's diary I sent her in answer to a 'How was your day"? query. Needless to say the day was a fiction from start to finish.

Description

In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother? The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.

Story Behind The Book

A friend in America e.mailed a question " How's your day been?" I though it might be fun to respong with a diary account of my day as I imagined she'd like it to be with me having a Title. She loved it and asked for more. As an author herself she suggested I should create a book and after much pushing from her and my wife who pinched each piece as bedtime reading, I finally gave in. And so it was born.
