My latest book, the Rough Guide to the Titanic, is a definitive guide to the most famous maritime disaster in history.

Read about it on my blog, blogtanic.wordpress.com, and website, roughguidetitanic.com.

For Rough Guides, I've written fourteen travel, history and music books as sole author, and shared authorship on several more.

My photographs have been published in my own titles, and also in magazines, newspapers and other books.

As an editor, I've been responsible for many titles in the Rough Guides series, including commissioning the original guides to India and the USA, and editing the guides to Elvis, Soul and Conspiracy Theories.

I also do freelance writing and editing for other publishers, including various websites and online publications.

Please contact me if you'd like to invite me to talk about the Titanic, to commission me as a writer or editor, or to license my photos, or you have any questions about my books, apps or other work.

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Brittany & Normandy 11 (Paperback)

I have used Rough Guides before, really like them for their in depth coverage. Good mix of directions and maps, places not to miss, history, advice on places to stay and eat, things to do. Not your typical list of top tens.
