I HAVE A BOOK! Sadly, it's not signed, but oh well. Maybe next time. But it gives me an excellent excuse to get the first use out of my new bookmark 😁

Battling for Osaka Harbour in steamships; 1868. This was the climactic action of the campaign and we coined the phrase ‘Black Hull Melee’ in case anyone needs an 80s metal band name. Seriously great fun!

P.L.’s BEST NON-SFF TRAD/INDIE PUBLISHED BOOKS READ IN 2025
Those who know me, know the bulk of my yearly reading is typically dominated by fantasy. I throw in a little science fiction, a splattering of horror, a pinch

I’m a writer and I write about war and conflict; I spend 80% of my reading time on primary sources. The impact of violence and war on people—not just soldiers but civilians and families—is terrible and lasts generations. For Remembrance Day, honour the fallen, but remember war and its costs.

Open breech on an Armstrong gun, 1860; fuel for my next fantasy series. But what I really want to do is praise the historical interpretation aboard #hmswarrior they knew EVERYTHING and were both entertaining and deeply knowledgeable. My hat is off to all of them.

The Ship Anson in Portsmouth UK. Last time I was here was 1990 and I walked off an aircraft carrier. Beer is still good😊 and I did research for my new fantasy series. No, really.
