Years ago I was known for my movie reviews, but these days it’s all about the books, going back to my roots in book reviewing (my background is in archaeology, publishing and non-fiction reviewing). I bought a kindle donkeys ago or more and it rejuvenated my love for books and reading in whatever form. Now, though, I mostly read tree books.
I have contributed regular features on historical fiction to the Sunday Express and I was one of the judges of the Historical Writers Association (HWA) Gold Crown for 2020, 2019 and 2017 and for the Debut Crown in 2015.
