Mike Brown
Mike Brown's career as an author began while teaching history in London -- it was research for the classroom that grew into his first book, 'Put That Light Out', in 1999. Since then, he has written 14 more books, and collaborated on a further nine. His television credits include Time Team and Timewatch and, like Carol, he gives talks to specialist and general audiences of all ages.
