A True Story about life lived on the razor's edge of history.
Twenty-two years old and ready for peace, Harry Leslie Smith has survived the Great Depression and endured the Second World War. Now, in 1945 in Hamburg, Germany, he must come to terms with a nation physically and emotionally devastated. In this memoir, he narrates a story of people searching to belong and survive in a world that was almost destroyed.
Hamburg 1947 recounts Smith’s youthful RAF days as part of the occupational forces in post-war Germany. A wireless operator during the war, he doesn’t want to return to Britain and join a queue of unemployed former servicemen; he reenlists for long term duty in occupied Germany. From his billet in Hamburg, a city razed to the ground by remorseless aerial bombardment, he witnesses a people and era on the brink of annihilation. This narrative presents a street-level view of a city reduced to rubble populated with refugees, black marketers, and cynical soldiers.
At times grim and other times amusing, Smith writes a memoir relaying the social history about this time and place, providing a unique look at post-WWII Germany. Hamburg 1947 is both a love story for a city and a passionate retailing of a love affair with a young German woman.

This review is from: Hamburg 1947: A Place for the Heart to Kip (Kindle Edition)
Having read and appreciated (don't think enjoyed would be the right word considering how heart breaking the subject matter was) Harry's first book 1923: A Memoir Lies and Testaments I have been waiting for this book to be published. It was worth the wait. I really did enjoy reading this one which tells the tale of his time in postward Hamburg and his courtship of his wife. This is a love story. As before, it is very well written and he's now left me wanting to read what happened next! I hope that installment number three of Harry's life story will soon be in the pipe line?




Description:
After falling in love and making a quick exit from her nine-year career in the USAWMD (United States Agency for Weapons of Mass Destruction), ex-spy Sally Sin does her best to become Lucy Hamilton, a stay-at-home mom in San Francisco. No one, not even her adoring husband Will, knows about her secret agent escapades--chasing no-good masterminds through perilous jungles, escaping evil assassins, and playing dangerous games of cat and mouse with her old nemesis, Ian Blackford, a notorious and dashing illegal arms dealer.
In her new life as Lucy Hamilton, she squeezes inside forts crafted from couch cushions by her three-year-old son Theo, makes organic applesauce, and frequents the zoo. But sometimes her well-honed spy reflexes refuse to lay low. She can't help breaking into her own house to check on the babysitter or stop herself from tossing the yoga instructor who gets on her nerves. And when Ian Blackford, who is supposed to be dead, once again starts causing trouble for the USAWMD, the agency becomes desperate to get Sally back on the job. How can Sally or Lucy or whatever her name is save the planet while at the same time keeping her own family's world from spinning out of control?

Several years ago I wrote and released a novella entitled LEFTOVERS with a small press publisher who promptly went belly-up about a minute and a half following the book's release.
(and why don't they build small press publishers more along the lines of a Weeble???)
Since then I've had a lot of folks ask me how to get hold of LEFTOVERS. I got tired of telling them to look in the lower left drawer of my refrigerator and FINALLY I have re-released LEFTOVERS in e-book format.
TWO FISTED NASTY is, of course, available at Amazon on Kindle.
You're especially going to dig the bonus story "Dopple Dribble". You read that yarn once and I guarantee that you won't be able to hear the sound of some kid dribbling a basketball along the sidewalk on a lazy summer evening without shivering in absolute terror.
(insert ominous music here)
Time to clean the refrigerator...

Popping in to tell you about my latest release coming to a Kindle & Nook near you in January (this month)! Dark Night of the Moon is a paranormal shifter novel based on Native American lore. If you read my book Where The Rain Is Made (nominated for a Bookie Award) you'll love DNOTM!
About Dark Night of the Moon (sequel to Holding On To Heaven):
Creed Gatlin flees to Arizona intent on eradicating the haunting memories of his brother’s wife. Brand Gatlin, presumed dead, resurfaces after a long absence and with his re-emergence, the destinies of those he loves is altered forever.
In a land rife with war and danger, Sage must travel to the village of her husband’s People. There, she is reunited with Crooked Back, the ancient healer. On the long trek back to Full Circle, devious plots are underfoot and peril lurks around every corner for Sage, Lauren and Peter Pa.
Dark Night of the Moon will take you on an unforgettable journey of war, violence, overwhelming grief, and finally, love.

Since the cover didn't pull up on the link above, here it is:

Here's the description from Amazon:
First Feature is a bitingly wry detective whodunit featuring ex-LAPD's not so celebrated detective Anthony Carrick as he juggles mafia lords, drug addled neophytes, nymphomaniacs, gay counterculture, vegan hippies and tinsel town's dark side in a quest to uncover a homicide in the midst of his own personal turmoil.
Like Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe and other hard boiled detectives before him, Anthony Carrick uses his guts, charm and humor to solve murders and deal with the other sordid details of people's lives.
Why was one of Hollywood's premier producers bludgeoned to death with his own Oscar? Amongst a dozen suspicious culprits, can Anthony solve this murder and keep Hollywood's seediness out of the tabloids before LAPD Homicide solves it for him.
Employed by one of the biggest movie production companies in Hollywood, Anthony is working against time. Tinsel Town's image must stay pure. But can he solve the murder before the tabloids publish the immoral truth of Hollywood's darker side? Find out in First Feature.

I loved it!

Music Box Danseur
Roman


Now Only $2.50 for the Kindle version.
It's a humorous, contemporary fantasy. Here's the blurb...
What happens when ancient magic meets the internet? One thing is certain, modern life will never be the same again.
In the medieval mists of time a young thief, Tung, and a disgraced wizard, Madrick, are thrust together in an executioner’s dungeon.
In the darkness, Madrick reveals an incredible secret about a legendary spell. The great spell helps them escape their prison cell... and eventually their century.
Catapulted into the present day, their lives collide with Michael, a computer hacker who plans to destroy the world’s largest bank. But sinister people are tracking their every move and they will stop at nothing to steal their spell.
I hope this appeals to some Goodreads readers... fingers crossed.


I picked this one up when it was only .99 cents -I blv it is now $2.99. I'm only about 15% into the book but so far I'd say it's well worth the read.


A True Story about life lived on the razor's edge of history.
Barley Hole was for my great grandfather Canaan, the land of milk and honey. For my father, it was paradise lost and for my mother, Barley Hole was a curse. It was a place that haunted her spirit and her soul throughout her life. To me, Barley Hole is a name forever etched on the map of my family's heart; it is where betrayal and injustice nearly thrust us into oblivion.
The Barley Hole Chronicles are an odyssey of the human spirit that stretch across time and geography to incorporate, diverse personalities, personal hardships, World Wars and the struggle for peace and love, in a society fallen from grace. These Chronicles document one Yorkshire family's decent into the wilderness of poverty and hunger. It is a personal record of one young man's struggle to survive the great depression, the Second World War and the hazards and wonders of life in post war Germany. The Barley Hole Chronicles are a summation of two memoirs by Harry Leslie Smith 1923 and Hamburg 1947. The Barley Hole Chronicles are a true account of a time and place when life, full of raw emotion, was never so real. It is also a social history of the 20th century at its bloodiest and deadliest time.

I published the book as a favour for an author friend, an American who lives in Germany. We were both friends of mystery short-story writer, Dick Stodghill. Dick was drafted into the army at the age of eighteen and saw active service in Europe during 1944-45. Before he died, he wrote a book, Normandy 1944, about his experiences as a nineteen-year-old infantryman. The author, Abe March, who edited On the Way to Siberia (translated by his son) explained how the book came about:
"A bit of background to this story: When I read Dick Stodghill's book, I discussed Hermann Frech with him in private emails. Dick said, "Write the story and I'll help you." I asked Hermann to write his recollections of his stint in the Germany Army, and he did. In the meanwhile, Dick passed away. I could say that this story was inspired by Dick. I only wish the two of them could have met. They both served at a young age on opposite sides of a war, yet I'm convinced that they would have become good friends."

Roman is the 1st novel in The Autumn Colors Series. Roman follows the life and high profile career of a male model.

Harry Leslie Smith's second memoir, Hamburg 1947: A Place for the Heart to Kip is a love story in my mind and it's just brilliant. -Judging covers
The memoir is well written, with a compelling story that carried me along steadily. I like to find at least one reviewing pinprick, although it's difficult this time. The book ends with a cliff-hanger, making me wonder what came next. In all, I cannot recommend this memoir highly enough.-The Kindle Book Review

Beyond the Misty Shore

Hooked is the perfect title for this latest in author Polly Iyer's romantic suspense novels. Every character in this book has a duality of purpose born of inclination and sometimes greed. And this is the authors challenge, asking the reader to understand, and maybe empathize, with people whose behavior is frequently on the other side of the law.
Benny Cooper, late of wall-street fame and married father of two, has the perfect job; hooked on the glamour of sex, he rents out apartments to beautiful young women, accepts a simple fee for the contracted liaison, and in Benny's mind he's not a pimp, he's simply a business man who gets to sample the wares. But Benny's perfect life comes apart when a young dead prostitute is connected to his high-class establishment and the NYPD sends Lincoln Walsh, sex crimes detective, to get to the bottom of it.
Enter Tawny Dell, recently retired and financially independent call girl who takes her secrets and off-shore accounts to an idyllic beach, that is until Lincoln Walsh hooks her with threats of jail for tax evasion unless she helps him find a killer.
That there's an instant attraction between the two is expected, but as the story unfolds we get to glimpse into the complex nature of these two people, and though we root for them, it's not until the end that we get to see if their attraction can be sustained in the duality of their life choices.
Add a dying mob boss, whose legacy of a legitimate family construction business is about to crumble because one of his own becomes part of the investigation, and last but not least, a stalwart and trusted father figure to Linc whose own agenda will threaten Tawny life.
Romance, suspense, humor, tragedy, and yes justice, gives a satisfying end to the book. This author could easily be compared to the likes of Catherine Coulter, but I believe Polly Iyer will soon be America's most popular romantic suspense writer.



Ellie has discovered an ancient world that exists within, and alongside, our own. To survive the mysterious and dangerous, she has to learn what she has become since her death, where her strength really resides, and how to love and be loved. Unbeknownst to her, destiny's stop watch is counting down, secret organizations are watching her every move, and her family's past may destroy her future.
