Leonard Gill served as a Police Officer for over thirty years, working in Merseyside and Yorkshire before embarking on a second career as an International Development Consultant on behalf of the British Government, the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross where he worked in failed and conflict afflicted states across Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. During his time in Yorkshire he lived just outside Boroughbridge and in a Jacobean Manor House near Bedale in North Yorkshire which feature as settings in “Evening of Empire”, before moving to North Wales where he currently lives with his wife in a small holding which is overlooked by the Clwydian range to the north and the Berwyns to the south. Over a lifetime, he has developed a particular interest in the period of transition between Roman Britain and what became the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy and Welsh Polities of the Sixth Century, which is the historical setting for “Evening of Empire”. Leonard and his wife raised six children who are currently spread around the globe and who feature as the models for some of the characters in “Evening of Empire”. Believe it or not one of his children served in the Yorkshire Regiment, perhaps the successor of the Legio VI Victrix and with his Honesta Missio now lives near the ruins of Ad Ladios in Roman Dalmatia which today has become Banja Luka in modern Bosnia and Hezegovina. Another currently serves with the Misenum Fleet in Italy, or as we know it better today, the NATO Naval headquarters in Naples. “Evening of Empire” is Leonard’s first novel.
