James Long
January 4, 2009 11:32 pm AuthorsUntil the end of the 1980’s James Long was a BBC TV news correspondent. After two years of running an international TV station from Zurich, he returned back to England where he could concentrate on writing, which was always his first love. He first wrote four thrillers, he then returned to a story he had begun writing many years previously and which became Ferney. The story was originally born from his disappointment at being unable to purchase an old run down cottage which he had found near the village of Penselwood this cottage then became the centre of the book. Lots more books followed, which included two which were written under the pseudonym ‘Will Davenport.’ He later moved onto historical non-fiction in 2007 with The Plot against Pepys, which he co-wrote with his eldest son, Ben. Since then, he has co-written a play with his middle son, Harry.
James lives with his wife, Annie and daughter Matilda in Totnes, Devon. His interests vary from archaeology to motor racing. He is also actively involved in the creative writing charity, the Arvon Foundation he tutors from sometimes on Arvon courses. He is also a patron and adviser to the Dartington Literary Festival, ‘Ways with Words.’
