Mike Shepherd

Mike Shepherd writes books about dramatic episodes of Scottish history untouched by other authors, including the history of North Sea oil (Oil Strike North Sea) and the Scottish origins of the novel Dracula (When Brave Men Shudder). Shepherd lives in Cruden Bay, Scotland, the coastal village where Bram Stoker started writing Dracula.
