Fenwick McKie writes richly layered historical fiction linked to the turbulent history of the Anglo-Scottish border and beyond. With a varied career intermingling crime detection, public order, and intelligence roles, he brings a sharp eye for character, loyalty, and justice to his storytelling. His genuine passion lies in uncovering the forgotten voices and contested histories of the North — its people, places, and objects. His work also follows the secretive journals of a troubled monk and the shadowy Arbor Vitae, a hidden brotherhood sworn to guard ancient knowledge at any cost.
Drawing from a lifetime spent near the Border and a deep fascination with the Scottish Wars of Independence, Fenwick crafts stories rooted in grit, loyalty, and quiet defiance.
His debut series centres on ordinary lives swept up in extraordinary times—where knights and healers, priests and rebels, all struggle for survival and meaning against a backdrop of war, loss, and shifting power.
In addition to his novels, Fenwick writes numerous short stories and reflections—sometimes poignant, often laced with wry humour—capturing the spirit of the land, the people, and the everyday struggles that echo through time. Many of these anecdotes spring from memory, observation, and a lifelong habit of noticing the small things that make us human.
Fenwick writes under a pen name to separate his creative work from his professional life, and to honour the storied traditions of the region that inspires him. When not writing, he walks the same borderlands his characters inhabit, notebook always close at hand.
