Sounds fascinating. One of the problems with reading actual history books is that, not as often as in the past thankfully, the authors write so academically and pedantically. Not so much at all nowadays. I started out doing my local history writing like that but then thought my articles , in books about local history, should be much more readable as the books weren’t aimed at historians. I shall definitely be looking out for your books Beverley.
Thank you Yvonne, I'm glad you enjoyed the post. I've read a few of Beverley's books and can say they are easy to read. For my own I try to write for the general public rather than academia 😊
Thank you Yvonne. Like Amy, I write very much for the general public rather than academia as I want people to enjoy the kinds of books that I like to read.
Thanks all for this great interview! I love hearing stories of people who have had careers and then switched to writing (or managed to weave it into life alongside their career): that’s me! So wonderful to hear of others who’ve been able to write - and Beverley’s written so much! Her pace is very impressive.

What a great interview - I’m off to look for some of Beverley’s books now 😊
Thank you Nicola, I'm pleased you enjoyed the interview and hope you enjoy Beverley's books 😊

Thank you Holly! I live and breathe history which makes writing fun and not a job, before I know it I’ve written another and I’m onto the next!
