John Whitbourn has had ten novels published since winning the BBC & Victor Gollancz 'First Fantasy Novel' prize with 'A Dangerous Energy' in 1991. Most recently they include his 'Downs-Lord' trilogy concerning the establishment of empire in an alternative, monster-ridden, England; and 'Frankenstein's Legions', an extrapolation of Mary Shelley's classic Gothic tale. Whitbourn's works have received favourable reviews in The Times, Telegraph, and Guardian, amongst others. Family tradition relates that a Whitbourn devised the Scottish battle-plan at Flodden in 1513. A rare press interview with Whitbourn in 2000 was revealingly entitled 'Confessions of a Counter-Reformation, Green, Anarcho-Jacobite'. See less
