Tsar Alexander II
Welcome
Welcome to my website. The site is for those who would like to read a little of the historical background to my books, in particular To Kill A Tsar and The Interrogator.
There are features, a rogues' gallery, interviews, maps, links to useful websites, clips from some of my documentaries and a Q and A section for those who would like to know more. Please drop me a line if you have a question; I can't promise to know the answer but if I don’t I'll try and point you in the right direction.
I've always been passionately interested in the past, perhaps inevitably - my parents were history teachers – and I hope the information I've pulled together here contributes to your enjoyment of my stories too.

ANOTHER REVIEW OF THE PAPERBACKSuper review for the paperback by Pam Norfolk. 'Authentic, moving, thought-provoking, gripping....Andrew Williams' sophisticated novel set in St Petersburg 37 years before the revolution that overturned Russia is about as good as historical thrillers get.' THANKS! Good to get that sort of encouragement when you are 30,000 words from the end of the next one.
SCOTSMAN FEATURE
