I'm just in the throws of completing my first book. It centres around a memoir I have of an RFA signaller who was in 59 Div. Would you be interested in speaking, Nigel !?

I am currently writing my first book, hopefully published this year. Centred around the handwritten memoir of a First World War artilleryman.

I'm giving his memoir, which is the central theme, context. Expanding on his words to give a wider aspect of the Great War at the time.

Hi there.
I am currently writing a book around the handwritten memoir of a First World War artilleryman.
His description of life on the Western Front was so engrossing when I transcribed it, I felt it needed to be shared. Winter is my writing time, and I hope to have it finished for spring !
