“In the light of eternity, time casts no shadow.”


[Excerpt from WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART’S BLOOD, to be published June 10th.]


It was perhaps four o’clock ack emma. Or before sparrow-fart, as the British armed forces of my own time used to put it. That sense of temporal dislocation was back again, memories of another war coming like a sudden fog between me and my work, then disappearing in an instant, leaving the present sharp and vivid as Kodachrome. The army was moving.


No fog obscured Jamie....
