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

History needn’t be torture!
Just over a week ago I wrote here on my new book 101 Most Horrible Tortures In History which has had its most successful first week of sales of all my books save for one. Obviously there are quite a few sick and twisted people out there who like a light hearted look at history!… Continue reading History needn’t be torture!
UK General Election – Game of Thrones Style
Today is the day of the U.K. General Election. Voting used to be easy and just a choice between the Conservatives and Labour but these days it has got more longwinded and complicated that a George R R Martin series but without the redeeming features of Khaleesi (we do have dragons on the flag though)… Continue reading UK General Election – Game of Thrones Style
101 Most Horrible Tortures In History (my new book!)
Today is a big day for me, I’m launching my new book on Kindle and Paperback formats! 101 Most Horrible Tortures In History takes a wry look at history, torture and bizarre punishments of times past and just a bit of the present so that we can thank our lucky stars that none of this is… Continue reading 101 Most Horrible Tortures In History (my new book!)
Making Book Promo Videos
The more observant of you may have noticed this blog post is a day or two later than normal. Partly this is because I’ve been a bit unwell and partly it is because I have been very busy making some book promotional videos. Book promotional videos are a relatively new tool in the authors ever… Continue reading Making Book Promo Videos

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

Like many others have done as the 100th anniversary of WW1 or The Great War looms ever closer over for us, our village has been busy working on a new war memorial which is situated at the end of my street. One of the most popular of my blog posts is that of Armistice Day… Continue reading Our village (Leavesden Green) gets a new WW1 memorial
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
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?
