 For all you lovers of Tudor history, I have written a new book. It's called Here Come the Tudors! and it includes a description of life at the time and a history of Tudor England. It also includes a look at Tudor Portsmouth and Tudor Southampton.

A History of Women from Ancient Times to Today

 I wrote another book. I called it A History of Women From Ancient Times to Today. When I read about the history of women I was amazed at how many prominent women there were in the past, who are largely overlooked today. Many women philosophers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, artists and musicians were famous in their own day but have been largely overlooked today. In my book I try to redress the balance. It's available from Lulu Books.

John George Haigh, the acid bath murderer, was hanged on 10 August 1949.
