Following my academic studies (BA, Masters and PhD in medieval History) I moved from post-doctoral research into secondary school teaching (11-18 History) from 2001-2012; then FE Lecturer (History) 2012-13; before rejoining Higher Education as a Senior Lecturer (Education Studies) at the University of Northampton 2013- present. I was 'A' level examiner for History and authored four textbooks for GCSE and A level (Medieval England 2004; Raiders and Invaders, Power and Control 2006; The First Crusade and the Crusader States 2010 all published by Pearson).I am also a fiction author and my novel The Zaharoff Conspiracy was published by Methuen in 2014. I am currently writing a history of medieval England, titled The Making of England: from Rome to Reformation, due for publication in 2021 with Amberley Publishers and acting as Historical advisor to an exhibition of Magna Carta in Washington DC, July 2021 with Hawkwood International.
