Welcome


Terry and Linda, St Valentine's Day, 2007 At home in Lincoln

I live in Lincoln in the UK with my gorgeous partner, Linda. Looking out from my study the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral stands high on the right, while to the left is the site of the factory in which the first tank was built by Sir William Tritton in 1915. On my website you can learn a little about me and my books.

Terry talking about Hell Riders on the Richard and Judy Show

My life

Follow me from life as an Anglican priest at the SAS Church in Hereford, through the museum of The Queen's Royal Lancers (motto: Death Or Glory) at Belvoir Castle, to publicising Hell Riders on the Richard and Judy Show.

Death Or Glory: motto of the  Hell Riders

Hell Riders

InHell Riders: The Truth about the Charge of the Light Brigade puts the reader in the saddle with the Light Brigade for the most horrific ride in military history. Charge down the Valley of Death under fire from ball and shell, fight the Russian gunners and struggle back pursued by Cossacks!

NEW IN 2008: Masters Of Battle

"They should put Montgomery and Patton and Rommel in the same ring and take off the gloves and let 'em go at it" (Bill Mauldin, GI). In Masters of Battle: Monty, Patton and Rommel at War Terry Brighton presents the war as it was fought by its three most flamboyant and controversial generals, against a backdrop of their great armoured battles.
Writer's Blog

Follow me, from the personal (having my Golden Retriever puppy put to sleep) through the work (how I am completing Masters Of Battle) to the surprising (my meeting with General George S Patton)
