Hello,

My name's Hotaire. I've been based in Pickering, North Yorkshire, for 30 years. My interests include just about everything on the North York Moors prior to the Norman Conquest.

I started out by photographing the place – three consecutive annual exhibitions at the National Park Centre (1994, '95, & '96). But then, sick of not knowing a hell of a lot about what I was photographing, I followed the trail into academia. My M.A. thesis was on the Ragnarsson dynasty of York – the first (Danish) of the two Viking settlement waves here.

My two favourite reads are Bede's 'Historia Ecclesiastica' and Steinbeck's 'Cannery Row' - don't ask! And now I've turned writer, having just completed a 200 page tome called 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme'. No publisher yet, but it's early days.

Thank you for visiting me.

Hotaire.
