Doctor Who: Myths & Legends
June 2017 (BBC Books)
For thousands of years, epic stories have been passed down from Time Lord to student, generation to generation. The truth of these tales was lost millennia ago, but the myths and legends themselves are timeless.
From the princess Manussa and her giant snake Mara, to the Vardon Horse of the Xeriphin, these stories shed light on the universe around us and the beings from other worlds that we meet. Myths hold up a mirror to our past, present and future, explaining our culture, our history, our hopes and fears.
A collection of epic adventures from the Time Lords’ mist-covered past, Myths and Legends is a unforgettable gallery of heroes and villains, gods and monsters.

A History of the Internet
Oct 2002 (Pocket Essentials)
A History of the Internet was written as a mini follow-up to The Internet Atlas as part of the Pocket Essentials range.
It was published by Pocket Essentials in late 2002 in the UK. At the time, this was the first work of history that actually asked the people who created the net what happened.
As such it was the first to debunk the idea that the internet had been created specifically to withstand a nuclear war. This was just a happy by-product!
The Internet Atlas
Oct 2000 (Parkgate)
The Internet Atlas was written at the height of the dot-com boom. At the time I was the site reviews editor on the industry’s leading title, Internet Magazine.
It was published by Parkgate/PRC in late 2000 in the UK, US and Australia and was a personal selection of websites for a range of topics such as news, holidays, entertainment, business, etc. Yes, I used to be Google!
