Living on Dartmoor, Michael Jecks says, is the best way to research medieval stories. He will discuss his feelings about landscape in novels, how characters are shaped by their surroundings, and how authors can get the most from the scenery about them. He regularly wild camps on Dartmoor, and can be found walking over the wilds with his two dogs as he plots his stories. All are grounded in fact and in places he knows well. His work involves intensive research into the crimes committed by our ancestors, reading court records, coroner reports and histories that cover the industrial history of Dartmoor. Michael is the Hon. Secretary of the Detection Club, founder of Medieval Murderers, and was Chair of the Crime Writers Association. He is a regular speaker at international crime and literary festivals.
