His first book, Uncharitable Mischief: Barbarity and Excess in the British Civil Wars, saw publication in 2013 - and his first book with Helion & Company, Famous by my Sword: The Army of Montrose and the Military Revolution, was published in 2014. He is also the author of To Kill a King, which is the ECW supplement for Warlord Games' pike and shot rules, and is the editor of the 2012 Oxford Companion to Military History (published by Oxford University Press).
