I know how fabulous it feels when someone whose work you already admire offers you spontaneous praise. and that goes at least double when that praise is as on the money as this particular praise was.

good for you, Tom.

I recently read the first book in the Billy Boyle series, and I enjoyed it immensely. I liked Clean Sweep a lot too.

The second one, "First Wave" which is the North African invasion, is damn good too.

I picked up the first Billy Boyle novel, but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet. Looking forward to it.

I'm pretty sure you'll like it. It's the one that introduced most of the Major Characters.

He highlights what I see as your greatest skill....the ability to make the big "sweep" of war so very personal through the lives and accounts of the people on the front line.

I expect you will use that same skill in the book you must write about your screenwriting life in Hollywood, right?

Congratulations! You deserve all praise.

What a tribute to those who suffered in the battle against fascist horror in that time of world history. The truth told of the struggle, of individuals and the wide sweep. A nail in the coffin of the narrative that fascism ain’t that bad.

I encourage folks to purchase from bookshop.org. You can designate the proceeds to your local bookstore, if you have one.
