The world is a depressing place right now. Not sure I can face watching the news and I’m getting more wary of opening social media too. Best throw myself into research, followed The Longest Day (book).

I'd be grateful if you could spread the news and give my new project @authorsofhistory.bsky.social #Podcast a follow. I'll be talking to authors of our favorite #History #books celebrating their work and talking to them about what motivates them to write. First epidsode Mon 24th February 2025.

UK cover. Out November 2025. (North American cover to follow).

Thank you Allison! I like to make my readers honk like geese 🖤🪿

Thought I would share this again for anyone fleeing the mayhem on the bird site. I can’t imagine what events would cause such a flight. go.bsky.app/QPhzxUX

Dad sent me this article by his RE teacher Mr Beckingham on his wartime service. Dad said that during thunderstorms, Mr Beckingham would jump under his desk, apologising that was because of his wartime experiences, but they never knew any more about it. (1/3) www.pegasusarchive.org/normandy/a_l...

I enjoy writing about maps, mapmakers, war, and words. If you read this, then I'll write more. 😊 Substack: merrynwalters.uk/p/finding-st...

I’m going to Abbeville and St Valery-en-Caux in March for research purposes. Very excited. Has anyone got any tips for preparing and making the most of a walking the ground trip? @historybowsh.bsky.social @seaspitfires.com @seanfscullion.bsky.social

Why is there not a Norfolk IC? Baffling! @ckolonko.bsky.social @merrynwalters.uk @jamieheffer.bsky.social

Considering whether to trek over to IWM Duxford tomorrow to see the summer 1940 exhibit. Have they got planes from other museums? A Fairey Battle and a Bristol Blenheim would be high on my list.

We're delighted to announce our latest author signing, Bill Robertson. Full post here - www.facebook.com/share/p/z93p... #NewBook #WW2 #TheUndefeated #POWs #PrisonersofWar #SecondWorldWar #MilitaryHistory

Excited to be able to share this news with you all. Coming to your shelves in 2025!

Thank you Allison!

Thank you Christopher for such a nice review! Still find it slightly surreal that Forgotten Armour has 4.9 🌟 on Amazon. @hobartbooks.bsky.social

Lots to be thankful for in making CHURCHILL’S SPANIARDS a reality. In telling the story of Spanish republicans #ContinuingtheFight in the British Army, I have had the privilege to speak on many podcasts. Here are the podcasts I have done up to this year. #WW2 #Churchill #History

Finally, got your first book @dalyhistory.bsky.social
