About

Chris Dewar

Hi, I am Chris Dewar, the author of the Dyrne Hill Series of books.

I was born in Weybridge, Surrey, into a very large and extended family and spent most of my childhood roaming wild on my bike, building camps whenever and wherever I could, or making up stories of mysteries, treasure, and ghosts for my siblings and cousins to enjoy reading.

As a young adult, I travelled, settling in Berkshire to raise my family, before finally moving to Hampshire.

My kids loved reading, so I wrote Dyrne Hill for them. I hope you enjoy the book as much as they did.

  • Dyrne Hill - The Guardian -HARDBACK

    Summer at Dyrne Hill should have been ordinary — but for James and his best friend Penny, adventure is never far away. When archaeologists begin excavating the ancient hill, long-buried secrets start to surface: chalk etchings, hidden rituals, and whispers from centuries past. Then the visions begin. Haunted by scenes of a vulnerable boy hunted in the 1500s, James discovers he can step through time under the guidance of the enigmatic Mr Green. Yet the rules are clear: observe, never interfere — unless a life is truly at stake. As past and present collide, James uncovers a truth woven through his own family history. Dyrne Hill is more than sacred ground. It has a Guardian. And now, it may be him. A gripping tale of friendship, destiny, and the courage to protect history — no matter the cost.
