VJ Books Presents Paul Doherty!

Author Paul DohertyDr. Paul Doherty (OBE) was born in Middlesbrough (North-East England) in 1946. He attended Ushaw College in Durham for three years to study for the Catholic priesthood. In 1967, he was admitted to Liverpool University where he gained a First Class Honours Degree in History and won a state scholarship to Exeter College, Oxford.

In September 1981, Doherty was appointed as Headmaster to Trinity Catholic High School, Woodford Green, Essex. He finished his doctorate on the reign of Edward II of England and decided to start writing about the "undergrowth of history", beginning with The Death of a King, published in 1985.

Doherty has published under several pseudonyms: C. L. Grace, Paul Harding, Michael Clynes, Ann Dukthas and Anna Apostolou, but now writes only under his own name. He writes both fiction and non-fiction.
