how I found the agency
"My introduction to Andrew Lownie occurred by way of a publishing industry contact. When Bloodline of the Holy Grail was published in 1996, I was liaising on another project with Christopher Sinclair-Stevenson of the publishers Sinclair-Stevenson. He subsequently began a new operation as a literary agent, and I approached him early in 2001 after my hitherto agent had changed companies. Not wishing to follow employed persons from pillar to post, I was looking for future continuity and an individual with his or her own literary agency. Christopher was an obvious first choice for advice in this regard and, knowing my work, he was very quick to respond. He recommended an agent, whom he said was "every sound on history in particular" and that the right man for my books would be Andrew Lownie."subscribe to agency's newsletter
