Conner McAleese

Conner McAleese is a West Coast born, East Coast living, Scot. After completing his degree in History, he has completed a Masters' Degree in Writing, Practice and Study - both from the University of Dundee.

Coming to writing late in life (unless you include an aborted story about a minotaur, which he does not) and his first love was fantasy writing. However, on reading a quote about Eva Braun being an apolitical, asexual 'nobody', his passion for women in History (and not just those who wore a crown) was born.

Difficult to write, The Goose Mistress was intended as a piece for his dissertation, but quickly expanded beyond the 15,000 word limit to the full novel you can see now. Dark, twisted, and sickening in more points than he cares to remember writing, Conner is proud of his work on an almost forgotten woman that, it could be argued, had a huge impact on the course of the twentieth century, through her love to one of its most reviled dictators - Adolf Hitler.
