My passion is history. I did two degrees in history (Cambridge and London). But unfortunately, a love of history doesn't always pay the bills...I spent many years doing other jobs from petrol pump attendant to stock market analyst. I ended up as a managing director in an investment bank. But don't hold that against me. My true love has always been history. When I worked in capital markets, I kept on researching history and published my first book, The Byzantine World War, in 2019. Watch me talk about it in an interview with the Historical Association.

In 2021, I gave up the day job to work full-time on a series of books about the Fall of the Roman Empire. If you've read or heard of Edward Gibbon, you'll know what I'm talking about!
