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.

One month until my new book, The Norman Conquest, comes out. There's a synopsis and more details about it here.

Planning some evening signings of The Norman Conquest at various branches of Waterstones. More details and dates to follow...

This week I'm travelling to Oxford to speak at Magdalen College School, and to Oxford University History Society.
