The Cromwell Enigma - A Tudor Mystery is out today and, apparently, selling well. For a clearer idea of who Thomas Cromwell REALLY was set this interpretation alongside Mantel's and decide for yourself which is the more credible.

The Government want to scrap free parking for NHS staff, which many thousands rely on. It also helps stop the spread of infection.

We have just a few hours to force them to change its plans.

Retweet and tell the Government to give NHS staff a break.

Since this seems to be a forum for trumpet-blowing, anyone interested that translation rights to two of my backlist titles have just been sold to China? No, I didn't think so!

The Mayflower Pilgrims is out in good time for next year's quatercentenary celebrations. The book offers a fresh understanding of the Pilgrims, not as legendary founders of a nation, but as people like us in an age very unlike ours. https://t.co/v7SCALNlIE

@MaximamSue @lauraroy1972 Thank you for your kind words, Sue. Yes, his identity has been known since the late 19th Century. That is to say, his name is known, but there are still some mysteries. I've been studying this subject for many years now, and now I'm finally writing a book on it !

Thanks to @HistoryExtra for re-airing my 2008 article on national disasters. Having read it over I'm asking myself whether I stick to my original verdict and also where on the calamity scale I would place Britain's current woes https://t.co/3zo0y45iJe. Let me know what you think

C.S. Lewis died today in 1963. I’m remembering by reading him between things today. Look at this lovely line: ‘poetry too is a little incarnation, giving body to what had been before invisible and inaudible’.

400 years ago today Sir Walter Ralegh was executed. Hands up if you think he deserved it.
