Happy Easter
Easter came early on in our school holidays down here in Devon, with Good Friday the first day off school we were plunged straight into the long weekend. The weather is currently beautiful here, and with every grass verge sprouting bluebells, whitebells and the odd pinkbell, East Devon is full of colour. I am therefore…

Eden’s Alternative to Appeasement — the latest
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve settled on a cover design for Eden’s Alternative to Appeasement! As well as our “blurb” text for the back cover: As Foreign Secretary in Neville Chamberlain’s Cabinet in 1937, Eden didn’t believe in appeasing the German and Italian dictatorships or the militaristic Japanese regime.

Merry Christmas
I’m taking a little break this week to spend time with my family, with just a couple of bits of manuscript to look at. A significant proportion of my regular readers won’t be celebrating Christmas, but for those who are — whether you’re roasting chestnuts on an open fire, or throwing another shrimp on the…

And so it begins…
In the coming months I plan to write here about how Tithebarn Press (TBP from here on out) is developing, expand on each of our core Themes, and keep you all updated on what’s in the works. For now though I’d like to start by saying a bit more about why I’m starting TBP and…
