ISLAND OF STEEL

This what I am currently involved with: the first novel in a trilogy called Hawkwind. It is published as an ebook on Kindle (with a paper version, a pbook, out before Christmas).  A Kobo version will follow soon. The book is fast-paced and full of thrills and humour, with  a little romance on the side. Suitable for ladies as well as gents. You have six individual heroic characters to root for and fall in love with. If you enjoy it half as much as I did writing it, then you'll die happy. But not before reading the other books; Beach of Blood, chasing an agent with the plans for the secret D-Day invasion, and The Iron Peace, post war Berlin and Soviet spies.

A WWII heroic thriller set in the German-occupied Channel Islands.
It could be the most outrageous bunch of heroes you've ever met: fearless American airman Curtis Olson; reckless RAF pilot Hartley-Penrose; two merciless Resistance fighters, Claude and knife-wielding Marie-Claire; gruff, tough commando Sam Haines; and bi-polar spymaster Eric Baker. All stranded on the heavily fortified island of Guernsey - and all desperate to escape.
But Operation Hawkwind orders them to kidnap a visiting high-ranking German officer, whose capture will drastically change the course of the war. Yet they only have 24 hours before he leaves. So now these reluctant heroes - even more reluctant when they discover the officer’s identity - are forced into a critical race against the clock as they try to get to the closely guarded VIP. Their chances of kidnapping him and escaping with their lives grow slim as the hours flash by. Eventually, after numerous failed attempts, they meet up in a suicidal confrontation.

But a new revelation changes everything.
