Welcome

I've been encouraged by the many messages of support I've had from friends and family about my new book, Four's Destiny.
I published it myself to make sure that it was available before the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Leros on September 26th 2018. It will be mentioned there and I hope that it will prove very interesting to the many people who visit and love the island of Leros.
