Welcome to Nigel Oakley Writes

While anything can be a stimulus for a story, as a fiction writer, I mainly write about coming-of-age, crime and historical events.

Warrior Princess, Errant Page,' my historical novel about Good King Wenceslas’s Page, will be available from 21st March 2025, and the ebook is available to pre-order now.

During my teaching career, I travelled halfway around the world - to end up fifty miles from where I was born. Originally a ‘Shropshire Lad,’ I now live in Lichfield, where I spend my time walking, singing in my church choir, invigilating exams at a local school (yes, I’m still involved in education!) and – writing.
