John D Burns, mountaineer, writer and playwright with a particular interest in Aleister Crowley, has interviewed me on his blog. You can read it here. In the interview I talk about how I first became interested in Victorian mountaineering, my discovery of O.G.Jones, and some of the unique challenges faced by mountaineers in the “Golden Age” of British climbing.

I recently interviewed John on this blog. You can read the article here.

Something I should have done years ago: ALCS (plus nebulous thoughts about writing as a lifelong vocation)

After years of telling myself 'I should really register for ALCS this year', I've finally managed to motivate myself to do it before the deadline (just). It's been an interesting exercise to see everything I've published since 2021 all in one place.
