As for me: I live in central London and as well as writing my non-fiction books, I am currently working on a screenplay of Inconvenient People. I did a Master's degree in Victorian Studies at Birkbeck College, University of London – jumping ship from EngLit to History. A chance discovery while writing my dissertation led to the writing of The Italian Boy: Murder and Grave Robbery in 1830s London, which was published in 2004. I followed this up with The Blackest Streets: the Life and Death of a Victorian Slum in 2008. My third book, Inconvenient People, came out in 2012. I also teach 19th-century social history and fiction, and I lecture regularly on London history and the history of 19th-century mental health. Prizes/shortlistings: The Italian Boy won the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction, and was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction. The Blackest Streets was shortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize for evocation of a location/landscape. Inconvenient People was shortlisted for the 2014 Wellcome Book Prize and was a book of the year in the Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph, Guardian and Spectator.
