Non-Fiction

I've undertaken academic research on 17th century naval history for the best part of thirty years. However, I've always been interested in many other aspects of history, and have written widely about Welsh and Scottish history as well as on the naval history of other periods. My intention is to continue to alternate between writing fiction and non-fiction books.

On these pages, you'll find information about my non-fiction books to date and a list of my main articles and essays.
