I know what you’re thinking. Stephen can’t be releasing another book. I know, I know. I’m sorry. Long-time readers will know that I spend my summers giving guided tours and during winter I spend most of my time writing and it just so happens that it takes a certain amount of time for books to… Continue reading Lest We Forget: A Concise Companion to the First World War (my new book)

The Messenger – Book 2 in the Timeless Trilogy
Today marks the release of the second book in my Timeless Trilogy of History-Romance novels, namely The Messenger. I’m very excited about The Messenger as with any trilogy, the second book in the series contains much of the meat of the overall story though it is a gripping read as a book in its own… Continue reading The Messenger – Book 2 in the Timeless Trilogy
The magic of Avebury Stone Circle and Lacock Abbey
Sometimes when I take out small groups on guided tours around southern England, I get to go to places that I haven’t been too but have often wanted to go. It’s like those lucky people who love movies and get to work at film studios or animal lovers who get to become vets. There are… Continue reading The magic of Avebury Stone Circle and Lacock Abbey
Why is there no history on History TV?
I know, I’m a bit old-fashioned. I like history, I visit historical places, I read about history and write about it too and when I switch on the History TV channel, I kind of expect history too. I used to find it too until a few years ago. When the History Channel started, it was… Continue reading Why is there no history on History TV?

Tight companies offer us nothing in return, others offer us a 1 in a million chance to win £10 or something similar. Those lucky enough to… Continue reading Stupid corporate customer surveys

The Fault In Our Stars
Today I went out to see a film on the spur of the moment. I didn’t even know that I was going to go out and I certainly didn’t know that I was going to see this particular film. I was minded to go and see the film ‘Chef’ but then I saw that ‘A… Continue reading The Fault In Our Stars
The Importance of Soft Power
In my near 2 years of blogging, I haven’t seen any posts on the concept of Soft Power. This maybe because I spend too much time in other areas of WordPress but Soft Power is an important and interesting concept and one that is becoming increasingly important though at the same time remaining largely unknown.… Continue reading The Importance of Soft Power
