I am pleased to show you the latest version of the cover of Death, Disease & Dissection, my latest book for Pen and Sword. Due to be published in October 2017, it "transports readers through 100 years of medical history, offering a picture of the daily life of a surgeon-apothecary from the making of pills and the mixing of potions to tooth-drawing and blood-letting.".
Covering the period 1750-1850, it offers a glimpse into the world of surgery without anaesthetic, quack medicines and the dissection of mouldering cadavers, bought from the body-snatchers.
The book is with the editor now, and after some to-ing and fro-ing it will be ready to go in the autumn. Come back soon to find out how it is all going. Promotion starts here....
