Autumn 2025

• I’m loving working on the little magazine I too over this year, Northern Earth and my third issue is just out
• I’ve got an article out about the intertwinings between Richard Dadd and Charles Dickens in the new issue of Undefined Boundary.
• I’m working on a new history-related book project.

In general

• I’m very much enjoying my work as an editor of non-fiction books and history magazines.
• I’m still producing a weekly history-themed Substack after more than two four years.
• I try to go for a walk every day, wherever I am.
• I’m living in the same small Cotswolds town where I’ve been for the last 15 years.
• My kids continue to be funnier and smarter than me.
