I am a Sheffield based true crime author, and have recently completed a biography of local villain, Charlie Peace, for Pen and Sword Books, to be released in Summer 2016.

My second book "Digging in the Dark - A History of Yorkshire's Resurrectionists" has just been commissioned, also by Pen and Sword Books, which will be released in Spring 2017.

I am also columnist and sub-editor of CASEBOOK: Classic Crime, a UK based true crime magazine, and a frequent feature writer for The Whitechapel Society Journal.
