The Great Houdini - His British Tours

I've recently completed 'The Great Houdini - His British Tours' for Pen and Sword and it's with the publishers now. It should be out some time later this year.
The book features all of the venues that Houdini appeared at during his tours of Great Britain between 1900 and 1920.
Newspaper stories and photos, some from over 100 years ago, feature for the first time in the book which is the only title about Houdini that covers his tours of the UK extensively.
The book includes all his various stunts, his leaps from bridges in chains, his meetings with Conan Doyle and many details of his elaborate stage shows.

Latest news

I've created this blog to keep people up to date with the release of my latest books. There are many on the way including Glasgow in the Great War, Aberdeen in the Great War and Edinburgh in the Great War as well as two about the Second World War, a book about Houdini's tours and one all about the 1970s.
The first of these to be published will probably be Glasgow in the Great War (Pen and Sword) which is due to be released in August 2016. The photo shows a preview of the cover.
More updates soon.
