Nature

Whether it is dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals or contemporary wild landscapes, Rupert has written a range of books and articles on the wonderful natural world around us. The subjects of the books include generic books giving an overview of a palaeontological period to individual works focussing on a specific extinct genus or fossil specimen. Dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals are a complex subject with often highly technical details need to be explained clearly to a wider audience. Rupert keeps track of the latest developments in the palaeontological world to ensure that the books he produces are fully up to date. He has produced the text for a variety of works, but has also project managed books including the commissioning of artworks and design, the supervision of contributors.

 

 

Travel

Rupert has written a wide erange of travel guides and books, mostly covering the UK and Europe. His walking guides to various places around the UK come complete with maps, photos and helpful advice on public transport, parking and eateries as well as where to go and what to see. He provides material to the publisher in an easily processed format with all photos and other illustrative material clearly labelled for ease of matching to the relevant text.

 

 

 

 



Cryptozoology

It is not just the Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster, there are dozens of unrecognised animals out there where evidence for their existence is building steadily. Rupert's books have taken an objective view of the subject, looking at the evidence and allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. As with his history work, his writings on the paranormal are well researched and securely grounded in fact.

Whatever genre Rupert is writing about or editing, he has never  missed a deadline and has always delivered work of a high quality to brief and to length.
