Cintia,

Not sure how to respond here. I get what you're saying about "so much competition," and why that might be discouraging. But most of the fiction writers I know who do succeed will tell you...they simply HAD to write. And they were this way years before they were ever published. The desire to write stories was so strong they did it whether or not the stories ever got published. I'd say, if you're really meant to do this, stop thinking about "the industry" and rediscover the desire to simply write for the love of writing. There's always room "in the industry" for one more great story, well written well and well told. (less)

In Farleigh Field by Rhys Bowen
" It was my first for her books. Would definitely consider others. "

Parachute Infantry by David Kenyon Webster
Rate this book

This is a must-read for Band of Brother fans. David Webster is actually one of the main true-life characters featured in the HBO WW2 series. Since it's a memoir, at times it gets a little laborious to read (skipped several parts because of this), but ...more

Ghost Flight by Bear Grylls

By renowned adventurist and survivalist Bear Grylls comes a first-rate, well-written contemporary thriller. Not surprisingly, you could see Bear in the role of the main character (and I did throughout the book). It's a high-concept story, a bit far-f ...more

A very entertaining WW2 mystery with a nice underlying romantic thread. A very easy read. Not as suspenseful as some I've read, but I never lost interest.

I loved this book. What made it an even more sensational read is that everything in it actually happened. It's a WW2 story about a young Italian boy who becomes a seriously heroic young man during Mussolini's Fascist regime and after Hitler's army oc ...more

Horses Don't Fly by Frederick Libby

This is a remarkable book, a true memoir written by a WW1 flying ace, who began life as a cowboy. Wasn't sure I'd like it but, once I started, had me interested till the last page.

Devotion by Adam Makos

What a great story. My father fought in the Korean War and it's rightly called the "Forgotten War." But this book does serious justice to the heroism and bravery of those men. Especially the aviators, who rarely get any attention. And this story in p ...more

To the Last Man by Jeff Shaara

This is a long read. It's written like a novel, and it is, but Shaara so thoroughly researches his topics that it really could be used as a non-fiction research book. But it was still a great read. I know a lot about WW2, from all my research into th ...more
