He is the author of A History of Theatres and Performers in Herefordshire (published by Logaston Press in 2002), and in 2009 was commissioned to write a series of short histories of Cambridge colleges for Cambridge 800, a book published to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the foundation of Cambridge University. His most recent book is Knight Errant: Lord Craven and the Court of the Winter Queen (published by Fonthill Media in 2015).
He lives in Herefordshire, where in roughly equal measures he combines writing with growing cider apples.
