Welcome to the Gristly History blog. This is where I publish bits and pieces of history, myth and legend that interest me – though usually not my publishers!

I am an academic, but also write popular history books that are based on strong research but presented in a digestible style for general readers (See the Bookshop for some of my titles). My books have won awards in Australia, where I live, and internationally. I am represented by Sarah McKenzie Literary Management, Melbourne.

As well as writing about history and myth I make music in the folk tradition and write songs. I am happily married to Maureen; we have two daughters and five grandchildren.

I hope readers enjoy the site and welcome comments and questions. Please feel free to share any of the posts through your networks, though unless otherwise stated, all contents of this site are © Graham Seal and all rights are reserved.
