My first novel, The Straits of Treachery, is now available in paperback, published by Allison & Busby.
I am a British author, historian and journalist. I have published three works of non-fiction and my first novel, The Straits of Treachery, a tale of derring-do set in Sicily in September 1810. I am now writing a sequel, under the working title The Restless Harbour, set in Palermo in 1811 and 1812. My journalism and book reviews have appeared in a number of publications.
