My latest non-fiction book is How to Survive in Medieval England; it's my first for the popular publisher Pen & Sword Books.

This useful guide is a vital accessory when you next visit the Middle-Ages. How will you manage without your mobile phone, internet or social media? When transport means walking or, for the better off, horse-back, how will you know where you are or where to go? Where will you live and what should you eat?

What if you fall ill or are mugged in the street?

All these questions and many more are answered in this new self-help guide: How to Survive in Medieval England comes with top-tips to make your visit to the Middle Ages much more fun; have a go at preparing medieval dishes and learn some new words to set the mood for your adventure.

PLUS unique interviews with the celebrities of the day, from a successful business woman and a condemned felon, to a royal cook and a very controversial King Richard III.

Have an exciting visit to medieval England but be sure to keep this book to hand - coming soon mybook.to/MedEngland
