LATIN ALL AROUND US - Why the Romans Still Matter Today

My next book is now with the publishers. It will be about a year before it appears on the shelves but you can look forward to a lively potted history of Latin's evolution and survival from the foundation of Rome to our modern lives. It's a roller coaster ride of a story and on the way, we explore Latin's place in different areas of our lives today (science, financial, literature, our homes and families, love and sex ...) and discover the fascinating, funny or just plain weird stories behind the words we use everyday.

A user-friendly guide to decoding the Latin that's all around us will be included - forget the dry and dusty Latin Primers of the past, this is Latin Unleashed.

Click here to read about (and to find out how to book) my up-and-coming talks linked with Latin All Around Us.

Other plans include the following and I would be delighted to hear from any publishers who would be interested in working with me on any of these:

	A companion to Latin All Around Us - Ancient Greek's place in our lives
	Latin Literature Liberated - The famous bits in context and given depth and colour
	A Latin course book with a difference - Organic Latin : developing Latin the natural way.
	A Deeper Understanding - the Language of Faith: The Words of God (one book, and a series of mini books)
	Popular books on Latin, the Romans, and Ancient Greek/Greece
	A children's Archaeology Book - full of boggy moments!
	A children's fiction series - Through the ages and around the world, as you've never seen it before.

In addition, I was the Editor of the Dacre Pasture Project's Final Report, published in 2004.

In 2005, I collaborated on Jim Brophy's Nidderdale Iron - A Forgotten Industry with Mark Haley and Michael Thorman.
