Listen to the PodcastIn Paterson's debut novel, The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho, the story of Charles Ignatius Sancho is one that begins on a slave ship in the Atlantic and ends at the very center of London life.

Paterson is an award-winning actor, and wrote and starred in the play Sancho: An Act of Remembrance in 2018, which was staged in the UK as well as the US--including the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. A veteran of the stage, TV, and film, Paterson has appeared on The Mosquito Coast, an Apple TV+ original series; Doctor Who; Noughts + Crosses; and other BBC programs.
