Hello. I'm a writer from Newcastle and at present my day job is being a heritage researcher at a nineteenth-century natural history society. 'Imperial Nostalgia' is my first single-authored book, I'm planning my next one - provisionally about the North Eastern writer Jack Common (1903-1968) - at the minute, and if you have any ideas what I should write about after that I'm all ears. I contribute to the Guardian and similar places sometimes.
