About The author
Who am I?
I am an author and bookseller hailing from the small island of Guernsey. I have a real passion for local history. I love finding and sharing exciting stories from Guernsey's past.
When I'm not writing, you'll find me behind the counter of Writer's Block Bookshop, which I founded in 2023 as Guernsey's only dedicated bookshop.
I am an active member of the Guernsey Society of Authors and also adjudicate for the Literary Section of the Guernsey Eisteddfod.
I have published three non-fiction books:
Guernsey: A History (2023)
Guernsey: A Short History (2024)
Last Man Hanging (2025)
and one fiction:
A Trace of Corruption (2026)
Further details and where to buy them can be found on their respective pages.
The sequel to A Trace of Corruption, called A Tincture of Nightshade will be released in the autumn of 2026.
