Clifford Beal

Clifford Beal, originally from Providence, Rhode Island, worked for 20 years as an international journalist. He writes historical fiction and fantasy and is the author of Gideon's Angel (Solaris Books 2013)and The Raven's Banquet (Solaris Books 2014), both supernatural-tinged thrillers set in England,France, and Germany in the 17th century. After a swashbuckling past where he trained in European rapier combat, he now leads a more sedentary life but daydreams of returning to fighting trim. When not imbibing endless mugs of tea and writing, he can usually be found imbibing endless mugs of tea and reading. He lives in Surrey, England with a fiery redhead of a wife and a crazed Boston terrier.
