Our Vietnam Wars, by William F. Brown
About Our Vietnam Wars, by William F. Brown
This could be the most important book you’ll read this year. It has been ranked #1 New Military History, #1 in books on the Vietnam War, #1 in books on Veterans, and has 4.8 Stars on 38 Reviews.
It isn’t just another war book. It’s the memories of 100 men and women who served in Vietnam — Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines — from the late 1950s to 1975. Some were true war heroes. Most were just trying to survive. If you served or had friends or relatives there, you’ll find it an amazing read.
The interviews have proven therapeutic for many who are in the book, as well as for many who have read it, judging from the comments they left on Kindle:
“This book opened my eyes and made me realize that so many others share the same horrible experiences with me.”
“I’m not alone anymore.”
“It’s the experiences of those who served in Vietnam in their own words, so you know what it was really like.”
“Makes it all very real.”
“It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one who had my experiences.”
“If you want to really understand the Vietnam era, read this wonderfully done book.”
“I bought a copy for all my grown kids, as it tells the story better than I could.”
“This is the most haunting of books!”
We are fading into history, but our stories resonate even more today. They tell who we were, where we came from, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place, how it changed us, and what we did when we came home. Grab a copy, you won’t regret it.

Gamekeeper Turned Poacher
About Gamekeeper Turned Poacher
Gamekeeper Turned Poacher is the stunning debut British crime thriller with a unusual twist.
DCI Johnson is the novel’s female protagonist and leads the police investigation into the serial killer preying on young women in Nottingham. A skilled but hot-headed detective, she is frustrated by the lack of evidence and the apparent randomness of these murders. What she doesn’t know is that her adversary is even more knowledgeable as to the methods used by the police, having recently retired from a long and distinguished career in the force.
Former Detective Superintendent Brandt, disillusioned by seeing society become so desensitised to violence that it seems it has become complicit in its own fracturing, and damaged by the failure of his childless marriage, has turned vigilante and is seeking to wake England from its slumber of indifference.
He believes he is acting for the greater good; trying to reassure himself that the pleasure he derives from his actions are merely a fortunate by-product. But what he doesn’t know is that DCI Johnson, with her ability to place herself in the mind of her quarry, in a way Brandt would have been proud of in his previous incarnation, is willing to do whatever it takes to catch him. Aided by her young protégé PC McNeil, and with their personal chemistry growing as fast as their working relationship, she brings this dark and disturbing novel to its explosive conclusion.
Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that you won’t want to put down.

Hmmm, what to put down… Well, let’s be honest, does it really matter where I was born, my school, which university I attended (there were three of them if you must know). Telling you my favourite colour or which football team I support would actually give you more insight into what I assume are the two important things here:
1) Why write
2) What I write about.
Starting with the first one: why does anyone do what they do unless it’s the result of choice of compulsion. In my case it was both. I considered it an itch I needed to scratch but then I realised it was much more than that; I had found the one thing that I knew I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I have given up a career I invested the whole of my adult nearly 20 years in but I am supported by a wonderful wife and our young son who are willing to make sacrifices to see if I can turn this dream into a reality.
So what do I write about? At the risk of sounding deliberately vague; anything and everything. That’s when I realised this was more than a hobby. I just love the craft of writing. I wrote a children’s picture book series, a primary school aged story, and a teen novel. It didn’t bother me that I was skipping from genre to genre and between age categories. They were never meant to lead anywhere. That was until I turned my hand to crime. Not literally, but literary (thought I would chuck in a weak joke to combat the seriousness of all this). One of my early blogs talks about this in detail but I found something that I was not only proud of, but wanted to share. It has turned into a series and, although I am likely to remain in the adult sphere in terms of what is published, I won’t be writing crime thrillers exclusively.
Thanks.
P.S. If you’re an agent reading this: you had your chance!
P.P.S. Only kidding, send me your details and we can talk turkey.
