My research work has wandered rather a lot, beginning with a PhD in Quaker Relief Work and the Spanish Civil War, moving to work on science fiction, then children’s literature and then onto the English Civil War. There is even a novel in there. Most of my books can be found at the online bookshops, but where this is not the case I have provided links.

In 2026 I will publish Considering the Female Man, with Luna Press.
