Born in Northern Ireland, Edward Ruadh Butler studied Biomedical Sciences in Ireland and business in the US before working in newsrooms, bars, and laboratories, as a security guard, musician, and a lifeguard. A keen reader of historical fiction from his youth, he decided to try and emulate his heroes - Conn Iggulden, James Fenimore Cooper, Bernard Cornwell, H. Rider Haggard, Robert Louis Stevenson, and George MacDonald Fraser - and write an adventure. He began by writing about Ireland in the 12th century during his lunch hour, and a year later he had completed the first draft of his debut novel, Swordland. The book charts the remarkable career of Robert FitzStephen, a Norman-Welsh warrior who became the first invader of Ireland in 1169. Part Two of the series, Lord of the Sea Castle, was released in 2017 and introduced the character of Raymond de Carew (or Raymond the Fat as he is known to history). A lieutenant to the famed adventurer, Strongbow, Raymond is sent to Ireland with a small force of 120 men to prepare the way for his master's invasion. However, Viking Waterford hears of his arrival and send an army of 3,000 warriors to push Raymond back into the sea - how can he possibly survive when faced by odds of 30-1? Find Ruadh burbling about all things Ireland, Norman, historical, and rugby on his author page on Facebook, and on Twitter at @ruadhbutler. He is currently writing the third part to his series, The Earl Strongbow, which will be released later in 2018.
