Jefferson Bonar

Jefferson began his career in the film industry, writing and directing numerous short and feature-length films that played at film festivals all over the world. He attained a degree in Feature Film Screenwriting from the University of London, Royal Holloway in 2010 and put it immediately to work by ditching film altogether and deciding he would be much happier writing novels.

Jefferson then wrote two novels of little note in a genre that didn't suit him before moving to the south of Spain with his new family in 2015. It was here he discovered a love of history in a country with a rich and tumultuous past, the reverberations of which were felt in nearly every corner of the globe. And it was on this fertile ground that a new character, a new setting, and a new genre, were realised.

His days are now spent writing, being with family, and wondering if he'll ever get back to the beach.
