Tom Meredith

Tom specialised in ancient and early medieval history at university which prepared him perfectly for his career in financial services over the past decade. This has in turn prepared him for a life in writing! He has always had a passion for writing, starting in the underappreciated world of fan fiction and then beginning his first novel at the age of fourteen. 

A keen sports fan, Tom has experienced heartache on a regular basis, but it was the downtime during the pandemic which gave him the motivation to finally see his writing through to a conclusion. Deemed an essential worker during that time, Tom found himself spending mornings and evenings on empty trains writing about the world around him. The fear and unease the world felt during this time underpins his first novel, but the messaging of hope exhibited by the sense of togetherness during the lockdowns is a constant undertone to the fictional threat his characters face.

It is the inspiration from his research which inflames his desire to write, whether it be digging into medieval archives or quizzing local figures. Although set in the modern day, Tom will infuse his love of historical education into his descriptive writing of places and people
