Meet MJ Porter

I’m an author of historical fiction and nonfiction (Early English (Saxon), Vikings and the British Isles as a whole before the Norman Conquest, as well as four twentieth-century mysteries), born in the old Mercian kingdom at some point since the end of 1066.

Raised in the shadow of a strange little building and told from a very young age it housed the bones of long-dead kings of Mercia, it’s little wonder my curiosity in the early English ran riot. I can only blame my parents!

I like to write. You’ve been warned!

If you just want to know about my books, you might want to check out mjporterauthor.com because my blog is stuffed with soooo much information.

I’m indie published and trad published by Boldwood Books and Pen & Sword (for my nonfiction title).

I’m a member of the HWA (Historical Writers Association) , The Society of Authors, the CWA (Crime Writers Association), ALLI and The Historical Novel Society (I know – I like joining things). However, I don’t like to show my face on the ‘web.’ (I know some readers have been googling my author image). You can hear me on the Rock, Paper, Swords podcast, though.

The Tales of Mercia are a series of interconnected books set in the Saxon kingdom of Mercia.
