Hello everyone and Happy New Year! We’re rapidly approaching the upcoming release date for The Africa Ship and I plan on doing some giveaways once my author copies arrive from the publisher, stay tuned for more info.
I’ll also recently added another event to the calendar. I’ll be on a panel at the Society for Military History’s Annual Conference in Arlington, VA this year where I’ll be speaking about the USS Helvetia - the only American submarine decoy that actually encountered a German U-boat in 1918. The panel begins at 1030 on 27 March. If you’re attending the conference, I look forward to meeting you. More information can be found by clicking the link below:
