Straight from… Continue reading My New Book – Straight from the Horse’s Mouth : 100 Idioms, their Meanings and Origins

Straight from the Horse’s Mouth – New Book – Coming Soon!

Kindle vs iBooks or making waves in publishing

I’ve never been very good at promoting my books.  Like many authors, it is not something that interests me or excites me.  I like writing, I like making sales and I love receiving reviews but I’m not so keen on that section in between called self-promotion.  I feel much like those famous actors or musicians… Continue reading Kindle vs iBooks or making waves in publishing

Lest We Forget: A Concise Companion to the First World War (my new book)

My easy to understand but comprehensive history of WW1 in Kindle and Paperback.

Why is there no history on History TV?
