Hi, I'm Darren Harris and I'm an author of historical fiction. My debut novel The King's Son reached number 5 in Amazon's bestseller list for medieval historical fiction, which I'm very proud of. Away from writing I am a teacher of amazing young people with special needs, although I originally qualified as a history teacher in 2001 and have been Head of History at several city and county schools. History has been a passion for me all of my life. I am an historian and public speaker, giving talks to heritage groups and history societies, and I have researched my own family tree back to the 15th century. I live in Leicestershire, in the English midlands with my partner Lisa, our children, and a steady supply of orphaned or injured squirrels that we foster for a squirrel sanctuary!
Currently I’m on Twitter @DHarrisAuthor and also on Goodreads (just search Darren Harris) where you can ask me questions or send me messages, but I may also set up a dedicated author website in the future. I welcome all feedback so feel free to get in touch and tell me what you think of my writing. If there’s anything you want to know, ask away!
There's a reason that The Redhead Notes book reviews are over-subscribed; that's because Jennie Griffin is quite simply the best at what she does. Jennie will give an honest, unbiased review of your book but she also goes above and beyond what any other book reviewer does. The Redhead Notes website contains reviews, author biographies, links to your book's sales page or author website, and guest posts on her blog to promote you as an author and your book further. Jennie also posts about these and includes links to them on various social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook, and she continues to post these long after she has reviewed your book. Jennie is still posting and promoting my novel The King's Son a month after she first published my review, bio and guest author post. The interest this has generated is amazing, and don't forget it's all done free of charge! Yes, you did read that correctly, Jennie Griffin supports us indie authors out of the goodness of her heart and won't charge you a penny for all the time and effort she puts into reading and promoting your book. If that's not a good enough endorsement for you then you must be off your rocker not to want Jennie to review your pride and joy and help get it out there in the public domain with the review it deserves!
Supporting Indie authors one thoughtful book review at a time!
