Sub-genre: , , ,

Howard of Warwick bears sole responsibility for the entire medieval crime comedy genre.

Having been told by too many publishers and agents that there was no such thing as medieval crime comedy, he self-published the first Chronicle of Brother Hermitage and now has 30 of the things. Then there are historical fiction titles in which real people flounder about in the great events of the past.

Set firmly around 1066 and the arrival of the Normans, the chronicles are regular best sellers in the UK and US and have bothered the Amazon top 20.

With a background in radio and television comedy, including a BFI prize for drama series, Howard created The Funny Book Company and publishes online and through the mainstream book trade.

He is also a member of the SOA and Novelists Inc in the USA and talks on self-publishing and comedy writing.
