#historicalfiction #foreignlegion There is something to be said for writing in a niche market. Big fish, small pond kinda thing but proud people are digging The Deserter- a Tale of the Foreign Legion.
Very excited. Today's #publicationday for my #historicalfiction tale of the #foreignlegion. The Deserter is out in the world. "a 2-fisted tale of advenure and a search for redemption." www.amazon.com/Deserter-Tal...
Verdict: ★★★★½ (4.5/5)
A gritty, well-researched historical thriller that revives the classic Foreign Legion adventure with confidence and control. #historicalfiction #foreignlegion authorsglow.com/the-deserter...
My newest #historicalfiction #foreignlegion story, The Deserter, drops January 15 (THURSDAY!) Think Beau Geste directed by Sam Peckinpah and you have this two-fisted throwback adventure story. www.amazon.com/Deserter-Tal...
It's been a long time since a story set in the #foreignlegion landed like this. #Historicalfiction
