- About Me:
- Husband, father, grandfather, business owner and most recently, published author. As a life-long enthusiast of historical fiction and World War Two history, plunging into the research and writing of historical fiction set in World War Two Europe has been one of the most exciting and fulfilling challeges I've encountered. The networking of people around the world who are interested in what you're doing and willing to share their experiences has been an added an unexpected bonus.
