Thanks for visiting this site. I am the author of numerous articles and books - of both fiction and non-fiction. Some of my books are about railways. But not this one…

My new novel, The Night in Venice, (written as AJ Martin) is now available from Amazon.

I have started up a weekly Substack called Reading On Trains. It’s (loosely) about railways. See the link at the top of this page.

My book, Metropolitain: an Ode to the Paris Metro, is out in hardback from Corsair.

I also write pop songs, and I have set up a music project called Brunswick Green. (The link is to some songs and home-made films on YouTube.) My music is also on Soundcloud and Spotify, and here is a new EP on the latter.
