Research
New evidence-led essays
Primary sources, source disagreements and the historical problems behind the books and The Black Archive.
Samuel Stephen Chronicles
Newsletter
Occasional email updates when new research, fiction and publishing material goes live on Samuel Stephen Chronicles.
The email is the alert. The website is the archive.
The newsletter is for readers who want first word when a new research essay, book extract, historical investigation or major project update is published.
Substack handles email delivery. The substantial work itself is increasingly published here first so that articles remain searchable, connected to the books and available as part of the permanent Samuel Stephen Chronicles archive.
Fiction
New work and approved extracts
Opening chapters, work in progress and selected material when it is ready to become part of the permanent site.
Publishing
First word on releases
New books, major project milestones and substantial updates — not a daily promotional feed.
Read before you subscribe
You do not need to join a mailing list to judge the work. Start with the growing Research Notes archive, the public-history material in The Black Archive, or the novels themselves.
