A Bloody Good Read:Where writers and readers of historical thrillers talk shop: Dominic Selwood: Turning History Into Thrills. By Nancy Bilyeau I learned about the fiction of Dominic Selwood by reading a piece of riveting nonfiction--an article in the Daily Telegraph titled "How a Protestant Spin Machine Hid the Truth About the English Reformation.

I "etroduced" myself on twitter, and soon learned that apart from being a historian and former criminal solicitor, Dominic too was writing fiction.
