MJ Porter is the author of many historical novels set predominantly in Seventh 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, The Erdington Mysteries, set in the 1940s, and a novel set at the North Northumberland country estate of Cragside in the 1930s.
