- Breve biografia
- James Long was a BBC TV news correspondent until the end of the 1980s. After two years starting and running an international TV station out of Zurich, he returned to England to concentrate on writing, which had always been his first love. He wrote four thrillers, then went back to a story he had begun many years earlier and which grew into Ferney. The book was originally born from his disappointment at being unable to buy a derelict cottage he had found near the village of Penselwood and that house became the centre of the story. Many more novels followed, including two written under the pseudonym 'Will Davenport.' He moved into historical non-fiction in 2007 with The Plot against Pepys, co-written with his oldest son, Ben. Since then, he has co-written a play with his middle son, Harry. He lives with his wife, Annie and daughter Matilda in Totnes, Devon.

The book was a bit slow to read, not as good as Fearny, it was the last 100 pages that I really enjoyed, rest of the book, well sometime I had to force myself to continue reading and that’s never nice. But it’s a good book, and have you read Fearny you really should read the sequel, it closes their story in a very nice way.
