To the woman who stopped me outside Marksies in Sunderland this morning to tell me not only does she love all my books but that "You've excelled yourself with The Toffee Factory Girls book". I have no idea who you were, but thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Lauren Johnson @History_Lauren]

This afternoon was all about a very different #Trailblazer as I was editing my forthcoming biography of #MargaretBeaufort for @HoZ_Books

What a privilege it has been to get to know this hero better over the past several years of research.

[Tom Palmer @tompalmerauthor]

Schools and all others are invited to join @mrdillypresents and me for the launch of my new book, Angel of Grasmere. A major focus will be Dunkirk. Also, the impact of WW2 on rural and farming communities. It's free. And we'd love to see you there.
