My new #WW2 thriller will be launched on 5 Dec 25. It continues to relate the true heroism of Navy mine disposal teams battling with ever sophisticated German mines and booby traps, and introduces the history of Ian Fleming's Intelligence #Commandos. #BookLaunch #BookWorm #HistoricalFiction

8 yrs ago today I became a published author with the launch of my first novel. It went on to be a global bestseller and receive over 800 reviews. It tells the story of UK #navy submarine ops during #WW1 and the outstanding but overlooked campaign in the Dardanelles. #amwriting #mustreads

#OTD 1917, Adm Jellicoe, hero of the Battle of Jutland, was sacked as the 1st Sea Lord. The history of this dramatic event is recounted in my latest novel. His successor went on to institute more aggressive action by the @RoyalNavy, again described in my book. #WW1 #amwritingfiction #BookWorm

#OTD 1915 the Royal Navy submarine E11 sank a Turkish cruiser in the Sea of Marmara, part of an outstanding but overlooked #submarine campaign in the Dardanelles that brought Turkey within 7 days of being forced out of #WW1. My 5* gripping novel gives fuller details. #booklover #amwriting #histfic

#OTD 1939 Lt Cdr John Ouvry DSO was the first to defuze a German magnetic mine. Such mines had brought British shipping to a standstill and might have ended #WW2 for Britain. I tell more of the suicidal courage of the heroic RN mine disposal teams in my thrilling 5* novel. #histfic #booklovers
