I tend to be reading a couple of books at a time and I see I'm not adding graphic novels (maybe because I read them so fast?) even though I love the format.

I'm reading books for review and also reading manuscr...more

1779858 Hi Gavin,

Thanks for the friendship. My most recent published book is; The Feathery. A little history from your native land, blending with golf, mystery, suspense and romance.
I'm working on another at present. Working title is: A Drumbeat Too Near. It's set on Cape Cod,on a German U-Boat, Lorient France and Paris in 1942. I like doing historical fiction and the research that goes with the factual aspects of it.
Keep in touch,

Best,

Bill
