Welcome to my website

Since coming to the UK in 1999, I have conducted extensive research and image sourcing for the contract production of more than twenty non-fiction titles for Pen and Sword Military Books (UK), Amberley Publishing (UK) and 30 Degrees Publishing (South Africa). I have also self-published a couple of books. As an adjunct to book writing, I am a regular feature-article writer for two UK military history magazines from the Key Publishing stable: Britain at War and Classic Military Vehicle. (see Publications)

As a spin-off of my writing, I have conducted scores of paid research projects across the globe on behalf of historians, authors, investigative researchers, military associations,

and custodians of rolls of honour and memorials, e.g. the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and Bomber Command, UK. I also compile ‘Fact Files’ on behalf of persons who wish to know what a relative did during either of the two world wars. In most cases, this will include the sourcing of actual service records. I have assisted individuals trying to acquire British citizenship by tracing a father or grandfather’s British service records. If there is something you would like me to research for you, just drop me a line to chat about it and to get a quote. (see Professional Services)

Over the years I have conducted numerous proofreading and copy-editing commissions from publishers. I continue with providing such services to any interested parties, be they individuals or publishing companies. (see Professional Services)

Finally, I would like to offer my website as a place where your book can be promoted. I will need a high-res image of the book cover and a 100-word blurb on the book. I reserve the right to decide on what is inserted. All that it will cost you is a copy of your book for a full review and for my library! (see Book Reviews)

Enjoy your visit and please contact me if you have anything specific in mind. I have a vast electronic and printed data base and an international network of contacts, so I will endeavour to assist where I am able. (see Contact Me)
