Biography
I am the author of several military history books published by Pen and Sword with net royalties donated to military charities or towards memorials. I am also a partner in Military Lives which specialises in military biographies and village and town heritage books. (www.militarylives.co.uk) To pay the bills I write historical fiction and these are published by GWL Publishing. I worked for several years in the Military Corrective Training Centre in Colchester as a Housing Officer and I am now a Trustee of Help4Homeless Veterans, a charity based in Barnsely.

Workshop & Reading Experience
I have only done a couple of book talks but do attend events regularly where I talk to people on an individual basis. Whilst working at the Military Corrective Training Centre I used to deliver a talk each week to new admissions about housing so I am used to speaking to large groups although I am a little out of practice.
Reference
I don’t have any references for talking about my books yet but as I worked with vulnerable people in the Military Corrective Training Centre I had both security and DBS clearance.
Group size preference
No preference although I live in North Lincolnshire so would prefer a larger group rather than one or two people.

Adults
