21/03/2018 by Jad.Adams

In my non-fiction I write about radicals and nationalists internationally and characters from the English Decadence of the 1890s.

My most recent big book is Decadent Women: Yellow Book Lives, the previously untold story of the women who contributed to the innovative 19th century journal.  It came out late in 2023.

Other books include Women and the Vote: A World History and biographies of Tony Benn, Gandhi and Emmeline Pankhurst.

My first novel, Cafe Europa, came out early in 2023. Cafe Europa sees the coming together on a Greek island of three tribes: north Europeans, Greeks and refugees in a novel about deceit and defiance on the edge of Europe.

Choice of Darkness, released in 2025, is a tale of blighted love and mass murder based on the hunt for the biggest serial killer in nineteenth-century America.  It is the story of Henry Holmes from the point of view of the detective who tracked him down, burdened by a love betrayed.
