Iain Harper

Welcome to ThreesWrite

My name is Iain Harper. I’m an historian and author based in South West England.


During the 2024/5 academic year, I’m studying towards a Masters in Imperial and Global History at the University of Exeter.


Avarice of Empire, my debut novel written under the pseudonym C.Q. Turnstone, will be published by Brindle Books in March 2025. It tells the true story of Captain Charles Agnew of the 16th Lancers, a 19th-century British cavalry officer who is memorialised in a unique way at Canterbury Cathedral.
