I’m a writer and I write about war and conflict; I spend 80% of my reading time on primary sources. The impact of violence and war on people—not just soldiers but civilians and families—is terrible and lasts generations. For Remembrance Day, honour the fallen, but remember war and its costs.

More shots from HMS Warrior. Did I mention I was very impressed? Steam and magic naval warfare… not the main arc but a scene I can’t wait to write 😊 #hmswarrior #epicfantasy

Open breech on an Armstrong gun, 1860; fuel for my next fantasy series. But what I really want to do is praise the historical interpretation aboard #hmswarrior they knew EVERYTHING and were both entertaining and deeply knowledgeable. My hat is off to all of them.

The Ship Anson in Portsmouth UK. Last time I was here was 1990 and I walked off an aircraft carrier. Beer is still good😊 and I did research for my new fantasy series. No, really.

I’m very glad anyone is still reading this😊. Also, the role of slavery and slave revolt in the American Revolution is vastly underestimated.

Off to England! See you at MCM Comicon or World Fantasy or in the various HEMA clubs I’m visiting. Or the British Museum 😊

The "Drawn by Tolkien on an unused page from a University of Leeds examination booklet" aspect of this REALLY speaks to me. Like, this man just needed to let a map POUR out of him and used whatever piece of paper was closest.

Despite tournaments and wilderness camping, ‘Tge French Ambassador’ is on page 300 this morning. I hope to finish up before #worldfantasy in Brighton 😊

More photos from the Xth running of the ‘Deed of the Red Knight.’ We had more armoured fighters than I could count and some great scenarios as well as individual fighting; music, cooking, wine and good conversation.
