MJ Porter is the author of many historical novels set predominantly in Sixth to Eleventh-Century England and in Viking Age Denmark. Raised in the shadow of a building that was believed to house the bones of long-dead Kings of Mercia meant that the author’s writing destiny was set.

MJ Porter also writes twentieth-century murder mysteries set in the 1940s and a novel set at the North Northumberland country estate of Cragside in the 1930s.

MJ Porter’s first non-fiction work is about the tenth-century royal women in Saxon England. Check out MJ’s blog for many posts about historical research undertaken for each book. www.mjporterauthor.blog
