Welcome to HistWriter.com (‘Chateaux En Espagne’)  – my author website.

My debut novel, historical fiction set in Victorian Birmingham, is published by Poolbeg Press: Heart of Cruelty. I’m currently working on a sequel, City of Famine, set in 19th century Dublin.

I’ve also written over 70 short stories. These can be read here. Although my preferred genre is historical fiction many of my short stories are contemporary, and were written under the pen-name of ‘Giselle Thompson’.

I publish The HistWriter FREE monthly e-newsletter with snippets of historical interest and ‘From the Writer’s Bookshelf’ book reviews that include historical fiction, history and antiquarian or collectable books. 

An eBook collection of 20 historical short stories In Other Times is a FREE download for subscribers to The HistWriter. You can subscribe to The HistWriter here:
