Print Publishing

It's always a thrill to see your name in print. Here is a sampling of times I got that thrill.

History, Myth, Science, and a whole lot more in my articles for Future Publishing. I have had articles in All About History magazine and many Bookazine projects on a range of subjects.

Aquila - Bug Camouflage

This piece on bug camouflage was inspired by my canine pal Pam sniffing a dead leaf which then fluttered away. It was actually a Comma Butterfly. Loved teaching children about assassin bugs that pile dead ants on their bodies as a disguise.

Aquila - Mudlarking

Aquila is one of the best children's magazines on the market. I got to share my love of mudlarking and all the things you can find in the gloopy Thames with their young readership. As a bonus, Sean Lewis did this brilliant portrait of me and the excitement I show when reaching down for something that catches my eye.

The Search for the Historical Jesus

An article for All About History about whether Jesus was real (almost certainly) and what we can learn about him. I looked at all the available sources and how we can weigh them up to discover what the historical Jesus was like. Controversial? Hoo boy...

Thames Treasure Hunters

My first article on mudlarking! I looked at the long history of people foraging on the foreshore (not always for pleasure) and the things that they have found in the mud. Expect everything from fossil mammoth teeth, to Roman pottery, to a surprising number of used condoms (urgh).
