I write novels. Latest: Hild, from Farrar, Straus and Giroux (US) and Blackfriars (UK).

I'm English but I've lived in Seattle a long time (and I'm now a dual citizen). I love good food and wine and great conversation. I'm crap at chitchat.

I'm married to Kelley Eskridge.

I blog. I write essays. I occasionally teach, even more occasionally play the ukulele. But mostly I write novels.
