Bloody British History: Plymouth
Look out for this collection of grisly tales from Plymouth's thrilling history. All the great names are here: Hawkins the slaver, Drake and his demons, Captain Cook and syphilis! From ferocious cavemen and terrifying ghosts to sadistic pirates, from the battlefields of the English Civil War to the horror of D-Day, from true crime and the 'burning girl' to the Black Death - it's all here, the horrible histories of the last 10,000 years of Plymouth's past! Look out for more information and excerpts here, and on Facebook and images being posted on Pinterest. Book comes out in July 2012!
BREAKING NEWS: The talk at Tavistock Library went brilliantly well. Look out for further talks in 2013, possibly at Buckland Abbey which would just be wonderful. Thanks to all who came to hear me in March.
BBH: Plymouth on its way to the printers! At last. Publishers had to cut the map for more space for the stories, so I've posted it here. (Hey, I'm a writer, not an artist!) And check out more excerpts coming soon.
