And with luck, not a long gap until more news this time…

I've read half of Hurry Up Living and I can safely say it is a very good book.

Glad to see LTTW6 finally out there. For the uninitiated, this is the one I wrote in a prose style which is An Homage to Harry Turtledove's Worldwar or TL-191 books, rather than the usual history book scrapbook style.

It's a good point about the immediacy of standard prose (or play scripts etc) VS textbook in your foreword. Same reason we get anecdotes from people's accounts in straight history books, Beevor can describe the big overview of D-Day but the bit that sticks is a paratrooper seeing an oddly calm comrade with red gloves on and realising that's not gloves.

Thanks. Of course the other advantage (which I didn't mention) is you don't have to worry too much about the broader strategic direction of the war being plausible if you only see it from the perspective of the bloke in the trench who doesn't know what's going on.

About halfway through Atomic Secrets, good stuff

 

[Charles EP M.]

The trench battle scene in Hurry Up Living is brutal, chaotic, visceral.

Thanks to those who have purchased Atomic Secrets.

Out of curiosity, is there a thread where people talk about how they promote their work? Or is it OK to discuss here.

There's a private authors' forum where there is some ongoing discussion about promotion.

OK, how do you get access to that? Given it is private?
