I have always been fascinated by life and lives in the near and distant past. There are so many wonderful stories to tell, and many intriguing gaps in the historical record into which a writer can insert their own version of events. I’ve had a lot of fun trying to create entertaining stories based on real historical events and people, and I hope you will enjoy reading the fruits of my labour.

Emperor Honorius and his Courtiers
Emperor Honorius is a mere youth, presiding over a declining empire. He seems more interested in his pet chickens than matters of state. Yet he is cleverer than he seems, and sees through the machinations of his courtiers.
The Death of Duke Alessandro
Duke Alessandro de’ Medici of Florence lies dead, stabbed to death in his bed by his cousin Lorenzo. Why did this young man, the duke’s confidant and favourite, commit such a heinous crime?

Contact Me
If you want to contact me, I’d love to hear from you. You will find an email form on the Contact page, where you can also sign up for my monthly newsletter (and get a FREE copy of my novella, Caesar or Nothing, about the last days of Cesare Borgia).
Want to Help?
I am a self-published author, which has lots of pluses and minuses. One of the minuses is that I don’t have the resources of a big publishing house behind me to market my books, so I need all the help I can get to spread the word about my work.
So if you would like to help me, there are a few things you can do:
You can follow me on social media to get updates
You can review my books on Amazon or Goodreads
Most importantly, you can tell all your friends about my books, by posting on Facebook or Twitter or any other social media, or even by simply emailing them (very old-fashioned, I know!).
