Joanna Hickson

Joanna Hickson spent twenty five years presenting and producing News and Arts programmes for the BBC but more recently she has turned to writing historical fiction, concentrating on bringing the grand sweep of fifteenth century England to life, following its principal characters, the countryside, castles and cities, the people, their battles and beliefs, their triumphs and disasters, their loves and loathings, their lives and their deaths. She began at the beginning and is now nearing the end (see 'My Books'), wondering what she will do when she gets there. Start again probably - finding it irresistible! \nJoanna is married with a large family and gets inspiration from her Wiltshire farmhouse home, which dates back to her chosen period.
