I am an established author who has had books published on sport, history, historical fiction and current affairs. I have had 'Look With Your Eyes and Tell The World' - an inside look at North Korea published after visiting regularly. I am currently writing a biography of Aung San Suu Kyi plus I have also had 'Flat caps and Tangerine Scarves - a biography of Blackpool FC' published. I'm currently writing the biography of a former England footballer, as authorised by his family. I am very keen on history as that is my genre. My greatest writing book (in my opinion) is 'In My End Is My Beginning', a fictional account of the last 24 hours in the life of Mary, Queen of Scots. If anyone wants an historical drama writing, then I'm your man!!! I am English and my grammar is excellent as I was a BBC journalist for 26 years. I am also fluent in French

My name is Rory and I’m the host of the Forgotten Football Podcast. Since taking over the management of the podcast in 2023, we have seen engagement and growth skyrocket. In the space of 10 months we gained 8,000 new followers on X and saw our episode average rise from 30 listeners to 360. Our podcast has now grown into a full-blown project and I have no plans to stop there! Being the host of our podcast is just one part of what I do. As owner, manager and producer I schedule all episodes and keep to a thorough schedule, write our episode scripts and conduct research for each episode, and design our logos and branding which are subject to regular reviews. I also edit all of our episodes from start to finish and I’m keen to keep everything in-house at Forgotten Football. I have a background in Sound Production, so audio editing is second nature to me. I understand the difficulties in getting your podcast off the ground, and so I’m opening up my services to the podcasting community in order to provide a cost effective but high quality service. Please contact me for package details and rates.

The study of history can never reveal all the answers about the past, but it can help us imagine how our ancestors lived many millennia ago. Our generation's most remarkable historical papers and books do precisely this, providing us with fuel for our imagination so that we may put a face to the name of a civilization that faded into the shadows of history. My unique approach to history is driven by a passion to ignite imagination. Drawing from many sources, I craft narratives that aim to spark a simple yet profound sense of wonder in the reader. I aim to present a factual and entertaining perspective as I piece together the many fragmented parts of our history. Having trained as an archaeologist has given me the skills necessary to research from many sources as I strive to complete a piece of work. All of my articles and scripts begin with in-depth research before being assembled into a format easily digestible for the reader/viewer. I have studied Western Europe's present and ancient history, including the Stone Age, Celtic, and Germanic cultures of Northern Ireland (Ulster), Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, France, and Scandinavia. I'm also well-versed in the broader history of Indo-Europeans and that of Mesopotamia, including anceint Iran and Iraq, and all the peoples that rose from this cradle of civilization. I have spent considerable time studying the history of these places, the groups that once inhabited them, their everyday lives, writing systems, and religious customs. I deeply respect the ancient cultures that paved the way for us, and I believe that history should be explained in a way that honors their contributions. If done correctly, this can yield fascinating insight into the ancient world while being true to the historical record. Other Areas of Expertise: World history (Ancient) - Phonecian, Egypt, Chaldean (Old Assyrian), Indus/Harappan(Sanskrit/Tamil culture), Hebrew, Mesoamerican, including the Olmeca, Maya, Tolteca, and Azteca cultures, plus many more. Philosophy - Mahayana Buddhism, Kabbalism, Hermeticism, Upanishads/Vedic, Greek, Gnosticism among others.

I started working in translation by bringing together a great variety of interests and a passion for my native language, Italian, and English, the language I always wanted to learn. I specialise in the social sciences thanks to my studies between Italy (History) and the UK (Social Anthropology), and I have published a number of monographs and articles. Experiences in intercultural mediation, music, theatre and storytelling have expanded my linguistic sensibility towards fiction, folk music and oral culture. However, my hands-on approach has allowed me to work in all sorts of fields and for a number of private clients, who appreciate my precision, dedication and reliability.
