Terence Morgan (who also writes school textbooks as Terry Morgan) was born in Bootle, Lancashire, in 1944. For thirty years he taught in schools in Bootle, Preston and Singapore as well as writing some fifty school text books on English Language and Literature (see his page on www.Lulu.com for a list of those now available as downloads or print-on-demand). He is a television scriptwriter and playwright and recipient of a Hewlett-Packard Ten-Minute Play-writing Award. He is also a freelance journalist and editor. Terence's first novel, "The Master of Bruges", (Macmillan, 2010) was well received (see reviews at www.thebookbag.co.uk, www.lep.co.uk, www.amazon.com and www.amazon.co.uk) as was his second, "The Shadow Prince". His subsequent novels, "Villon" (about the French poet") and the biblical trilogy "The Book of David" are available from Amazon.com and Kindle, as is his comedy novella "Hostage", based on his successful play, "Hijack". Among his early achievements in life, Terence boasts that the jazz band he played with was once higher on the bill than the Beatles (New Brighton Tower Ballroom for the Liverpool University Students' Ball, 1961) and that he was once "Campeon de Bebedores de Cerveza de Palma de Mallorca mil nove cien sesenta cuatro" (Beer-Drinking Champion of Majorca 1964 for those of you with no Spanish!) Terence Morgan is widowed with one son, two grand-daughters and a grandson and lives in Lincolnshire. His hobbies are playing the 'cello and losing at the horses.
