In 1806 the British invaded Buenos Aires. They were assisted by an Irish spy, James Burke. 'Burke in the Land of Silver' is based on his true story.

I hardly visit X anymore and when I do my notifications are almost all from young ladies who have pretty pictures but nothing to say for themselves. It doesn't encourage me to stick around. I'd love to see you on Substack where I'm @tomwilliams619869

[Tom Williams @TomCW99]

This week’s Substack returns to Napoleon and the battle of Quatre Bras. There’s also a bit about Dracula, for those of you who prefer my Fantasy stories to history, and the weather as I wrote in the hottest place in Britain (really).

If you fancy a stroll along the river this Bank Holiday weekend, don't forget my Substacks on the grand houses between Richmond and Twickenham. The latest went up today. Read all four and you have a nice short walk from Richmond Bridge to Twickenham.

This week on Substack, I've posted the third in a series looking at the riverside development in the 18th century heading upstream from Richmond Bridge. There are a surprising number of lovely buildings still standing there.

I wrote about Marble Hill House on Substack last week and this week there are pictures of what remains of their once much grander neighbour, Orleans House.

I was at Marble Hill House for a couple of afternoons over the Bank Holiday weekend. If you wonder what the fuss is about this place, read my Substack post. https://t.co/xTyiri603Y

I’ll be at Marble Hill House this afternoon (and probably tomorrow afternoon too, for the Bank Holiday). If you wonder what the fuss is about this place, read my Substack post for this week.

On a day like today the view from the Gallery in EH_MarbleHill across to the river was well worth the climb up.

@KeruboSk My father was born in 1895. He died when I was 21.

@MattTay74784525 @penswordbooks Congratulations! Well deserved.

My post this week is mainly about Napoleon and his strike north to Charleroi, the beginning of a short campaign that was to end at Waterloo.
Next week I’ll be looking at what happened after Charleroi.
Join the campaign now.

It's a very strange experience to write a fantasy set in a remote part of mid-Wales and then to find one of the various unlikely elements coming true in real life.

Looking for advice about how to write a police procedural, I was told that Peter James' books were a great introduction to how to do the genre in style.

When I wrote a story about political extremists running paramilitary training in mid-Wales, it was supposed to be a fantasy. But then real life caught up. https://t.co/bSepmC28jC

It is indeed getting Springly. This was Hyde Park in London two weeks ago.

I’m not going to say wintery weather is finished for the season – it snowed last week – but we’re getting there 🙂

How do you make vampires credible in a modern story? Here's how I went about it: https://t.co/fVIcOMoNc6
