About Me

I have a degree in History of Art from the University of Nottingham and have been writing ever since. My most recent biographies have been published by Pen and Sword and I am currently working on books about the Suffragette movement in Bath, Empress Alexandra and Henrietta Maria for them. I also regularly write articles for All About History magazine and associated publications.
