Really enjoyed the listen and very grateful for the mention of my Waterloo Archive series. Really looking forward to doing the London to Waterloo tour with @NumberOneLondon in September 2022

Oscar and Alfie have both inspected and approved #WaterlooWitnesses by @NumberOneLondon. It will now be kept well out of their reach when I'm not reading it, as we know that Oscar in particular has a fondness for a good book...

My latest story is on Amazon Kindle and KU:
Enchanting Aurora: She needs to lose her maidenly innocence, he needs to fulfill a wicked challenge. Will this short term arrangement give them both more than they bargained for?

The last ever film footage of Queen Victoria, from 1900, recently found in the MoMA archives.
She's wearing sunglasses. This blew my mind.

Some Narcissistic News:
The Napoleonicist 'apparently' ranks in the top 10% of podcasts globally.
I'm sceptical, personally, but the stats are the stats.
And yes I might be crying just a little bit. Thank you to all my listeners and brilliant guests who make it happen. 😭

What's that I said about taking a week off?🤣
