About

C. M. Harald is an author, teacher, historian who lives in a small village just outside of London.

Having spent many years avoiding writing, instead, throwing himself into his teaching and an online business selling wooden toys, he finally started to take writing a little more seriously in 2013.  He has written many short stories over the years, mostly for his own pleasure.  The genres span thrillers through to history and even into sci-fi and horror.  You can find a list of his currently published works on Amazon.

Harald currently teaches in a London secondary school.  He has spent two decades in teaching, most of them in middle management.  He has previously worked in recruitment, retail, on a machine in a factory and even enjoyed one summer spent as a street cleaner.

Any historical errors in his writing are either meant to be there, to make the story more interesting or are the result of too much creativity or not enough research. School marking also takes priority and often his brain is too frazzled for another coherent at the end of the day.  His historical specialism is Baltic history in the twentieth century, an interest that rarely touches on the curriculum.

He would like to think writers like Pratchett, Cornwall, Hackett, Clavell, McCullough, Herbert and Mieville, were an influence.  However, he knows that he’s a long way from their standard and any influence would be down to accident or luck.

C. M. Harald is currently writing two series.

The Royal Zombie Corps series is set in an alternate World War One in which zombies appear.

The Butcher’s Funeral series is a Medieval thriller about organised crime.
