Autorenporträt

Michael E Wills was born on the Isle of Wight, UK, and educated at Carisbrooke Grammar and St Peter's College, Birmingham. After a long career in education, as a teacher, a teacher trainer and textbook writer, in retirement he took up writing historical novels. His first book, Finn's Fate, was followed by a sequel novel, Three Kings One Throne. In 2015, he started on a quartet of Viking stories for young readers called, Children of the Chieftain. The first book, Betrayed, was described by the Historical Novel Society reviewer as "An absolutely excellent novel which I could not put down" and long-listed for the Historical Novel Society 2016 Indie Prize. The second book in the quartet, Banished, was published in December 2015 followed in 2017 by the third book, Bounty. Bound For Home completed the series in 2019. His book for younger children, Sven and the Purse of Silver, won bronze medal in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards. His most recent books are from periods in history with an enormous time span between them. Izar, The Amesbury Archer, (runner-up for indie historical fiction book of the year 2021) is based in the Neolithic period, a Viking story, For the Want of Silver, is based on the message carved on an actual runestone and a series of children's books called The Children of Clifftop Farm, is about WW2.
Though a lot of his spare time is spent with grandchildren, he also has a wide range of interests including researching for future books, writing, playing the guitar, carpentry and electronics.
