New Book, Who Dis?
So, it's been a looooong time since I posted here, but that's going to be changing now that I've finished the writing/editing/proofing/indexing of my latest project...
That book, BLUE HELMET
is a top new release and category best seller on Amazon, and today's news is that if you like to read on Kindle, now's a great time to grab a copy - I've gotten Amazon to knock 50% off it's original list price, so it's just $9.99 for a limited time!
If you want to know what it's like to be a peacekeeper in East Africa - what the UN is doing right, where it's failing, and what could be done better - or if you just love stories of good people fighting the odds in bad situations, this could be the book for you!

Chapter Thirty-Seven
Click to read CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN on a mobile phone or slow connection.
Greetings, dear Reader... Today, I'd like to remind you that even such ridiculous figures as that obsequious little toad, Mr. Collins, found a patroness to support him in his follies - and it's poetic justice that he found it in the stern figure of Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
But you, my friend, while decidedly more attractive in person and personality than Lady Catherine can, for as tiny a sum as $1.00, become a patron of my historiographer, and through your generous assistance enable him to bring my memoirs to light more swiftly than might otherwise be possible. And patronage has its perquisites! Everything from free books to your own name in print - why, it's the next best thing to being the heir to Rosings!
If you would be so kind, do click here , or on icon to the left (you see it now, the one bearing a picture of yours truly, Lydia, and, errr, ahem...) to peruse the prospectus before continuing on to the latest chapter - which, had you already been a patron, you should have received a week earlier!
Best regards,G. Wickham
A double life in Dublin... Creating the appearance of a respectable officer in the 5th Dragoons is the easy part...
As usual if you'd like to read the complete text to date, click here , or on the image of the book cover!

Looking for Chapters 6-8? They're available in the short story A Matter of Honor - direct from Amazon for the Kindle for 99¢, 0.75£, or 0.89€...
