Geoff Nowell is originally from Eccles, near Manchester, which is known to have lost at least two people at the Peterloo Massacre. From a young age, he has enjoyed writing fiction, not to mention learning about history. Learning about Peterloo at quite a young age left him speechless, with such a monumental and epic event having happened on his doorstep. He has been actively involved in annual projects commemorating Peterloo and those marking the event's bicentennial in 2019. This is his first novel.
