The Norman Conquest comes out today, hooray. I'm also appearing in Sunday's episode of Time Team (5.25pm, C4), wearing my castle-expert hat. Sunday is April Fool's Day.

The Norman Conquest comes out in two days' time. Tomorrow I'm giving the first publicity talk, at Watestone's Richmond at 7pm.

I will be doing some evening talks and signings with Ian Mortimer in various branches of Waterstone's: Richmond on 28 March; Cirencester on 11 April and Bath on 12 April. Check individual stores for exact timings.

Just confirmed that I will be giving a talk about the Norman Conquest in Winchelsea on Saturday 14 April at 3pm in the town's New Hall.
