Imperial Governor!

Ave!

I googled this little bit of history this morning.

I've just discovered that George Shipway's excellent novel "Imperial Governor" is to be reissued next month. See:

I'd really like to write a profile of him, but I'm having great difficulty getting any research leads. I know that he was a cavalry office in the Indian Army, and then a schoolmaster, and that he was encouraged to write by his friend John Masters. If he is still alive he will be 92 by now.

Does anyone know where I can find more about him? I hope that more of his books will be revived.

After a couple of long 'phone converstions with Lorna Shipway, George's widow, Alan went on to write the most complete biography of George Shipway to date. He had previously written a review of "Imperial Governor", you can see it above.
