(Historical fiction writer) Ian Anderson

Ian Anderson is an Australian/British author currently living on the Adriatic coast, with interests in history, literature and music.

After a long career in software development – a discipline that, like writing, begins with a blank page and the emergence of something from nothing except thought – he has now turned to fiction. This has long been a passion, a quiet current running alongside the software, now given opportunity for expression as the years grow longer.

Knight, his debut novel, was written in the years following the death of his wife. It is a literary historical novel set in the last days of the Age of Chivalry – a story of love, loss, grief, and the possibility of return – within the specific textures of that historical moment.

He is at work on further literary fiction. When not writing, he can be found at the sea's edge, often mesmerised by the Adriatic sunsets.
