Battle’s Flood, the second title in my new trilogy of historical novels set in the Tudor period, was published by Canelo on 14 November! There’s more information about it here, and you can buy it here. This follows on from Destiny’s Tide, which was published on 27 June; you can buy it here. (Incidentally, Destiny’s Tide recently received a terrific review on the Historical Novel Society website.) A title and cover reveal for the third book, which I’ve just started working on, will be coming soon!

I’m still finalising my speaking commitments for 2020. There probably won’t be anything quite as exotic as my travels this year to the USA, Germany and Netherlands, but there are a couple of quite exciting events in the offing. I’ll provide further details here as soon as the organisers are ready to go public!

The current situation with regard to the publication and availability of the Quinton series is a little complicated, so I’ve covered it in detail in a post on my blog. Please check that for further information!

I’m currently completing work on my long-delayed book on the Stepney family, baronets of Llanelly House, and hope to publish this some time in 2020-21 – watch this space, but in the meantime, go to the ‘Future Projects’ page on this site for further information!

Those with an interest in the late seventeenth century Royal Navy might be interested to know that there’s a research group investigating the history of the Stuart royal yachts, and that it has a website, to which further information will eventually be added – www.syrg.org.uk. The group can be contacted via info@syrg.org.uk. I’m hoping to have a guest blog about the work of the group on this site in the near future.

Finally, a quick plug for the new book by my ‘significant other’ Wendy Berliner, the ‘LadyQJ’ of my Twitter feed! Her second title, How to Succeed at School, will be published by Routledge on 20 December. Her first book, Great Minds and How to Grow Them: High Performance Learning, went immediately into the Amazon bestseller lists on the back of her Guardian article, which summarises the main arguments of the book.
