Former children’s writer T. A. Belshaw is a British author best known for the Amy Rowlings Golden Age Mystery series, a collection of character-driven cosy crime novels set in 1930s Kent. Blending gentle humour, classic whodunit plotting and rich period detail, his books follow the adventures of Amy Rowlings – a sharp-witted, film-loving amateur sleuth with a knack for uncovering secrets in the most unexpected places.
A lifelong fan of Golden Age detective fiction, Trevor draws inspiration from the works of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and other classic mystery writers, while bringing his own warmth and modern-storytelling style to the genre. His stories are filled with village intrigue, colourful characters and the charm of pre-war Britain, offering readers a nostalgic escape into a world of clues, gossip and slow-burn romance.
When he isn’t writing, Belshaw enjoys researching 1930s life, especially about his hometown of Ilkeston in Derbyshire, where he lives with his chatty rescue cat, Mia. Trevor is also the author of the five-book, dual-timeline, family-saga series Unspoken, and the four-book, short-format, politically incorrect comedy series Tracy’s Hot Mail.
