Nick McLean Author
I've recently completed my first book: A King's Gamble: The Neville’s Cross Campaign 1346. A King's Gamble is a gritty narrative non-fiction account of one of Britain's forgotten campaigns. In the autumn of 1346 King David II of Scotland led a huge army south into England in support of the Auld Alliance with France. What followed was a disaster for him and for Scotland.
I’m passionate about unearthing the forgotten stories of Britain’s past and sharing them with readers who love history as much as I do.
