Peter Loxley is a British sports novelist with a lifelong passion for horse racing and the rich traditions of the turf. Raised within earshot of a provincial racecourse, he developed an early fascination with the rhythm of training yards, the drama of race day, and the quiet resilience of those who work behind the scenes.

Before turning to fiction, Loxley spent years studying the culture and economics of racing, drawing inspiration from trainers, jockeys, and stable staff whose lives revolve around split-second decisions and seasons of hard-earned trust. His writing blends authentic detail with character-driven storytelling, capturing both the spectacle of the sport and the private struggles that unfold far from the grandstands.

Ashes of the Morning Line reflects his enduring interest in redemption, risk, and the powerful bond between horse and rider. He lives in Lincolnshire, where he continues to follow the racing calendar with unwavering enthusiasm.
