“Lifelong lover of history, politics, and the great ‘what ifs’ that shape the world, I’ve long been fascinated by the road not taken. American Emperor is the result of years of wondering what might have happened if Napoleon Bonaparte had set foot in the Americas—and refused to leave. When not writing, I enjoy music, wine, sport, and a spirited debate.”

I have just published my first book about Napoleon escaping from St Helena and creating a new life in the Americas. I am working on plot development for a follow up and probably a third book to finish it off as a trilogy. I am very excited writing it all but the marketing is really quite difficult and it would be such a shame if nobody ever reads it/them.

I will update my progress on here as I go.
