David Lawlor

David works as an editor with a national newspaper and also as a book editor. He has written three novels following the character Liam Mannion - Tan, set during the Irish War of Independence; The Golden Grave, which is set in the old battlefields of World War One and A Time of Traitors, which follows Liam as he tries to unmask a traitor within the ranks of the IRA.

He writes a history blog - historywithatwist.wordpress.com - which collates interesting snippets from the past, things which spark an interest and maybe even a story or two. David lives in Wicklow, Ireland, with his wife and four children.
