Chronological Reading Order for the Books and Short Stories

An Unconventional Officer - love and war in Wellington’s armyI’ve been asked by a number of people to publish a chronological reading order for the books and short stories. This is it. It’s been a surprisingly useful exercise in that it’s highlighted some interesting gaps where I could slot in a new story or two…

All the short stories are in italics. All of these are freely available on this website. 

I’ve now started adding a free short story to the end of every published book. At some point I’m going to publish all my stories as a collection in paperback. In addition, over the next few weeks I’m going to begin adding a pdf of each story.
