Martin Bolton and David Pilling met at the Tate Library and Archive in 2007 and quickly discovered they had similar tastes in beer, humour and literature.

David was already a serious writer and had been writing and publishing short stories for some time. Martin had been writing lyrics and small comedy pieces, mainly just to make his friends laugh, but was encouraged by David's work to write his first short story.

They decided to put their work together, setting up a facebook group (Boltan and Pilling's Circus of Eloquence) and writing spoof blogs (Pilling's War and Kerrier District News).

In May 2010 they decided to write their first full length novel and, over a few of the aforementioned beers, The Best Weapon was born. The rest is history...
