Author Bio
Peter Templeton Neale was born on a dairy farm in Much Wenlock and has lived in Shropshire all his life. This is his first published novel. He began researching The Olympian in 2005, inspired by the connection between his home town and the London Olympics. The story started as a dramatisation of Wenlock gentleman Dr William Penny Brookes' life, but Peter has read far too many Douglas Adams and HG Wells for it to be a straight and sensible story and The Olympian somehow morphed into a children's time travel adventure quest.
