Meet T.D. Rutherford

About the Author: T.D. Rutherford writes from a 500-year-old Welsh cottage where lightning-struck trees stand hollow and the boundary between worlds feels thin. These aren't stories plucked from imagination alone—they're rooted in the landscape, tested on listeners, honed through years of telling tales that had to hold attention or lose it.

Before putting words to paper, Tony spent decades teaching people how to handle themselves—military physical training, martial arts instruction and front line work that taught him how understanding of what humans actually do under pressure. That groundwork shows in the writing: characters who feel real, conflicts that matter, worlds built with a craftsman's attention to detail.

The Hidden Hedgerow Chronicles emerged from this collision of folklore, landscape, and hard-won understanding of what makes a story worth following into the dark.

A misty forest path winding beneath towering ancient trees, dappled with soft green light.
