“Nor the Years Condemn” by Justin Sheedy Now Available at Amazon UK in Print-on-Demand Papeback – with a lovely maiden Review!

Nor the Years Condemn by Justin Sheedy is now available at Amazon UK – with a lovely maiden review by Denise Boneham of Bury St Edmunds, England. Thank YOU, Denise. She writes…

A NOVEL THAT FEELS LIKE A BIOGRAPHY: “Having watched this novel by Justin Sheedy for sometime on Facebook I was predisposed to like it even before I read it. I was not disappointed one iota. It has the feel of a biography because it reads so authentically. The characters are developed well and things happen to them that having read books by veterans of the era could well have happened. Good research Justin! I laughed and cried through the novel and was really glad of the ending. …Read it in one sitting…. Looking forward to seeing your next novel, Justin, but can you make it a Bomber Command one (pretty please). The Sydney Regional Aircrew Group might be good contacts for you for a start…. And maybe ABC will make it into a mini series?”

Denise’s Review and due thanks to her will be included in the next Print-on-Demand edition of Nor the Years Condemn along with all Reader-Reviewers of the book in its Special Acknowledgements page. Nor the Years Condemn is also available at Amazon USA with excellent reader reviews since publishing.

Reader-Reviewers of "Nor the Years Condemn" by Justin Sheedy Being Credited in Special Acknowledgements Page of the book!

Latest Reader Response to "Nor the Years Condemn" by Justin Sheedy. This time by Denise Boneham of Thetford, England.

“Well I finally got around to reading this the other day. I was predisposed to like it before I started cos it was about Aussie aircrew but it surpassed even my huge expectations. It made me laugh and cry at different times. It’s a work of fiction but the voices and characters almost seemed like it was veterans speaking. Well done, Justin, there’s a mini series in this. Bomber Command based novel next pretty please Justin!!!”

My sincere thanks to Denise – please see her response at a great historical website, Commonwealth Forces in World War II. Denise, along with all reader-reviewers of "Nor the Years Condemn", will now feature in the next Amazon print-on-demand edition of the book in its Special Acknowledgements section.

ANOTHER GOOD REVIEW OF "NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN" BY JUSTIN SHEEDY: "A TERRIFIC READ!!"

AN UNUSUAL WW2 AVIATOR’S STORY, A TERRIFIC READ!!
Review by Celia Byrnes, Iowa, USA.

"This book follows the life of an Australian pilot from volunteering, training, shipping out to England, until the wind down of the war. Meticulously researched our fictional character’s story is wholly believable, from descriptions of military training, learning to fly, airborne dog fights, war torn London, relationships formed and lost. A gripping story of war, love, loss and survival. As a Brit I found it an unusual perspective which is frequently overlooked, try not to let it make you late for work– it did me!"

Plus! A lovely review just received re my new book, "Nor the Years Condemn", in Saturday's Northern Star newspaper (Byron Bay Area) plus in 20+ affiliated newspapers. Text of review: A MUST READ - NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN - Author, Justin Sheedy: THIS is the story of the “best and brightest” young Aussies – the high-flying pilots – who fought Nazism and won. Penned by Sydney author Justin Sheedy, it is a heart-rending, action-packed read, which includes first love, brotherhood and once-in-a-lifetime friendship. Justin’s first book, Goodbye Crackernight, a comic memoir of growing up in the 1970s Australia, was published in 2009 and warmly received by audiences at the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival in 2010. Nor the Years Condemn is available in print-on-demand paperback format at Amazon. It is also available as an e-book at Smashwords in all e-book formats. (My massive thanks to Contributing Editor, Helen Hawkes.)

Another Great Review of my new book, "Nor the Years Condemn"

SHOULD BE A MOVIE
Review by Shell Lancaster, Melbourne, Australia.

The book “Nor The Years Condemn” is a must have for any history buff. Not only for an insight into what it was like at the start of the war, but also an insight into Sydney at the time. Not only for the boys, everyone will take something away from this. Could definitely see this made into a mini-series or movie. The author sucks you in from the start, it is very hard to put down. You can tell that the author did a lot of research when writing this book and is passionate about the story and characters. Hoping there will be a sequel.
