Elaine Louise

Elaine Louise, born in the 1970’s within the beautiful Cotswolds Region, and raised on a pretty bleak and rough council estate.  Author of four books, including, High and Mighty, A Propagation of Lies, When it Wasn’t Love and Remember Tomorrow, where the hard knocks of childhood have greatly inspired her instinct to write.

Elaine has been a race horse trainer, a lover of speed and fast cars, and survived a kidnapping in North Africa. She worked as an International Marketing and Communications Executive within Financial Services, and after more than a decade of travelling the world and honing her skills, she packed away her pinstripe suits and high heels and left the UK for good.

Since 2007, you can find Elaine in the midst of the Swiss Alps, where she now lives peacefully with her husband, three daughters and Mabel the naughty Labrador.  Here, she is more suitably attired in ripped jeans and trainers, with a pen in one hand and a huge mug of Yorkshire Tea in the other, busy contemplating and planning her next books.

Paul Ryley

Paul was born near Macclesfield, Cheshire, and went to university at Cambridge and then Oxford.  Having worked as a consultant psychiatrist for thirty years he is now happily retired and writing a growing collection of books, which are gathering a sizeable following.

Until a few years ago he had only published on Kindle – with limited uptake – but having written a book which he thought might have more general appeal, and discovering our services here at Falcon, he took the plunge and self-published in paperback.

His Rose Clarke trilogy is set in 1803/4 and tells the story of Rose, a girl who, bored with the balls and musicales of the Season, disguises herself as a boy and goes to Emmanuel College, Cambridge to study. The ensuing adventures provide an enthralling read.

His most recent book, The Dead Have No Voice, was published in 2024.

Steve Dine

Steve Dine is the owner of Empress Coaches in St Leonards, East Sussex. One of the longest independently established coach companies on the South Coast. With a passion for the transport industry Steve wrote a small publication in 2009 to celebrate Empress Coaches 80th anniversary, and it was this project that fuelled his love of writing. 

Steve has always enjoyed listening to many stories, humorous and otherwise, from fellow drivers and customers alike of their experiences. Not wanting these stories to become ‘lost’ he took to writing during the covid lock-down, first self-publishing Cooks Coaches, telling the history of a local coach company of the same name which quickly sold out it’s initial print run, and then a more general interest story Minicab!, the historically important but largely forgotten tale of the Welbeck Motors minicab venture that took to London’s streets in 1961. A copy of which was bought by Rhythm and Blues legend Jools Holland whose late father was himself a Welbeck minicab driver.

Steve’s latest title, Rambler Coaches: The Rowland Years, charts the colourful history of another hugely successful local coach company, with faithfully recorded first hand accounts that will ensure this story will live on for years to come. He is now putting the finishing touches to his next novel from his home in the village of Westfield, near Hastings in East Sussex.
