JK Davidson was born in rural north Essex, and brought up in London.
He left school at the age of fifteen, blissfully unqualified, but with a lasting affection for history and historical fiction.
He lives in the Welsh Marches and, when he is not writing, spends much of his time exploring their rich history and landscape.

Historical fiction too often tells of the “great and good”, of kings and queens and great figures, hero and villain alike. But I am more interested in the ordinary people, the walk-ons and watchers from the back, whose lives become embroiled in the machinations of their so-called betters, whether they like it or not; and, instead of covering the great events, so amply done by others, I prefer to look for my tales among the cracks in between.

My audience is essentially YA, but I don’t write essentially YA fiction. My work is about relationships between people, placed in historical settings, and with a strong LGBTQ+ bias.

Please note: of the four titles shown left, only a “Cold Wind From The North” is published. The others, and two more, await publication.
