ⓘ About Tim Hodkinson

His interest in ancient times, and especially the medieval period, dates back to his childhood when his parents took he and his siblings around the megaliths and castles in Ireland. Tim remembers riding his bike while a boy to see the various remnants of the Normans within reach of his home town of Lisburn. What would look to many to be uninspiring hillocks to him became in his imagination the site of historical battles and he figures that is where inspiration for a few of his stories came from. After several happy years of living in New Castle, New Hampshire, he and his wife Trudy and their three wonderful daughters have returned to a village in Ireland called Moira. “Lions of the Grail” is the first novel in the “Richard Savage” series and was released in 2012. The year is 1315 AD.
