Books by Dorinda Balchin

Dorinda Balchin, a voracious reader since childhood, writes historical novels set during periods of war and conflict. She loves the detailed research necessary to create books which have a real feel for the period; her debut novel, 'Heronfield', was described as 'an amazing read' by the Historical Novel Society. 'Heronfield' was followed by a supernatural thriller, 'The Guardians'. 'The Cavalier Historian' is Dorinda Balchin's third novel. She is now working on a series of novels featuring a war correspondent. After a career teaching in England, Dorinda and her husband suffered a 'mid-life crisis' which took them to India where they spent seven years running a guest house in a remote rural location. The couple have returned to the UK, where Dorinda continues to write her historical novels. She spends her spare time painting, fencing and riding.
