I don't know. One day when I was eleven or twelve years old it popped into my mind to write a book about a pilot in WW2. I wrote three pages and didn't write another word of fiction for three years, when I'd been reading some really good books and it came to me again, hey, I can do that.

Everything We Had is the first in the series, No Merciful War. I'm working on the ninth book, Nos Credimus: a Novel of the Air War May-July 1943, and hope to release before Christmas. Nos Credimus follows the survivors of the characters appearing in Everything We Had, and some new characters who are necessary to the story as it unfolds.
