M.J. Trow

M.J. Trow is a well-known author and lecturer, whose full name is Meirion James Trow. Originally from Ferndale, Rhondda in South Wales, he now resides on the Isle of Wight. His interests are varied and include collecting militaria, film, the supernatural, and true crime.

Trow began his writing career in 1984 with the publication of his first novel, "The Adventures of Inspector Lestrade," which was based on the character from Sherlock Holmes. This novel launched a long-running series of books from Trow. After the success of his Lestrade series, Trow expanded into true crime and historical biographies, and he now has several crime series to his credit. He has also written historical biographies and has collaborated with his wife, Carol, who writes under the name Maryanne Coleman.

In addition to his writing, Trow is a sought-after "ghost" and historian. He has been busy with many different writing projects and has recently started collaborating on fiction projects with other writers. Trow's family is important to him, and he is proud of his wife and son, Taliesin, who is also a writer and musician. Trow enjoys traveling and is a popular speaker on cruise ships. He is currently working on a new series, which is expected to be released soon.
