Shaun Musson - author

Shaun Musson is a British writer and author of The Retrieval Chamber, a twisting psychological thriller in which history has changed. His stories blend his love of the past with his love of music and the great outdoors. But his focus is always on ordinary people and how they make the best of their situation.

Born in Basingstoke, he spent four years recruiting government scientists before moving to the Cabinet Office. During that time, much of his writing appeared in magazines, from short stories to historical non-fiction. On being made redundant, he developed and wrote The Retrieval Chamber, his debut novel. With the first stand-alone prequel now published, Shaun is working on the third book of the trilogy.

When not researching, travelling to locations, or writing, Shaun enjoys walking, good music, and of course a good read, regardless of genre. With a passion for history, Shaun has two grown-up children and lives in Hampshire with his wife and dog.
