I am the author of over twenty non-fiction books, chiefly social history, as well as forty westerns. The non-fiction books, with publishers which include UCL IOL Press, Pen & Sword Books and The History Press, may be found here. The westerns, published by Robert Hale and  Crowood Press, are here. I write too for various newspapers and magazines. Examples of my work in this field may be found here. I am also engaged from time to time by television and film companies as a consultant on historical matters.

I have a particular interest in, and extensive knowledge of;  terrorism in Victorian and Edwardian Britain, capital punishment and home education. Anybody wishing for advice on these subjects may contact me here.
