The Bristol Suffragettes

In 1907 suffragette Annie Kenney brought the militants’ fight for women’s right to vote to Bristol. For the next few years the city rang with the cry “Votes for Women!”. From colourful demonstrations on the Downs and stone-throwing in the Centre, to riot on Queen’s Road and arson in the suburbs, the book tells the fascinating story of Bristol’s suffragette years. Also includes a map and short walk in the Bristol of the suffragettes.

The Bristol Suffragettes was picked as a “fabulous feminist read” by the Bristol Magazine in February 2018. Find out about the books selected by Bristol Magazine 2018 (pdf document).




Historical Novels

To The Fair Land – An 18th century thriller about a young man who risks everything in his search for a missing author, a map, and a discovery that could change the face of the known world. Find out more.

The Dan Foster Mysteries – Bow Street Runner and amateur pugilist Dan Foster strives to bring justice to an unjust world. From the country mansions of the powerful to the teeming rookeries of Georgian London, Dan tackles all challenges with guile, courage – and a quick left hook.

(prequel novella)

– available as a free e-book only to Newsletter subscribers.


Non-Fiction

– a history of the militant suffrage campaign in Bristol and the West Country.


Biography

I’m working on a biography of suffrage campaigner and pacifist Millicent Price (née Browne).

I was also collaborating with Antonia Raeburn (The Militant Suffragettes, 1974) on a book based on Antonia’s interviews with former suffragettes in the 1960s and 1970s. Since Antonia’s death in 2021, I will be completing that work.
