Historian, Author, Raconteuse
Three ways of saying the same thing- I like telling stories. I also like digging for the truth. Or as near to it as anyone is likely to get. 
Because the best stories are true stories. ​

 My first book, Black Tudors: The Untold Story, was published by Oneworld was shortlisted for the Wolfson History Prize and the Nayef Al-Rodhan Prize in 2018. I've used it to develop a FREE online Black Tudors course with FutureLearn and teaching resources through my Teaching Black Tudors project.  My next book, Heiresses: Marriage, Inheritance and Caribbean Slavery, will be published on 4 September 2025.
