Help needed

A final plea to anyone who can spare a moment to vote: voting ends tomorrow. I care passionately about bringing the truth of the Holocaust to a new generation. Touching the Wire has a chance to be Read Freely's book of the month complete with review, which will bring it to a wider audience. The women of Auschwitz can't ask you: they were silenced. http://www.readfree.ly/help-choose-ou... I couldn't stay silent. Thank you everyone who has already voted. It means a lot to me.

For Their Country's Good

Research into an old family story led me to delve into my family history. The story, it seems is true. My great-great-great-uncle James was convicted of the very aggravated manslaughter of one of Lord Northampton's gamekeepers and was transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1841 along with his two cousins.
Further research unearthed trial transcripts, newspaper reports of the committal hearing, convict records, behaviour records on board HMS Tortoise, crew logs, probation records, and on and on.
Book One in the series is entitled On Different Shores and is based on real events. It deals with James's crime and his separation from Ella, the girl he loves.
Book Two is called Beneath Strange Stars and chronicles Ella's attempts to follow him.
Book Three, On Common Ground, my work-in-progress, will bring together the disparate threads and complete the story of James and Ella.
This series is a journey of discovery, and affords a fascinating glimpse into life in the 1840s and the men and women born into poverty who were transported to build a colony on convict labour.
I hope to publish On Different Shores later this year.

Charity Anthology - You're Not Alone

YOU'RE NOT ALONE - AN INDIE AUTHOR ANTHOLOGY http://smarturl.it/YoureNotAloneAnth release date 11th July 2015
Take a look at www.facebook.com/yourenotalone2015 and help spread the word. A group of very talented Indie authors from across the world, inspired by Ian D Moore,author of Salby Damned, have come together to produce an anthology of short stories in aid of volunteer cancer nurses. The nurses we've chosen to suppport are Macmillan nurses via the Pamela Winton fund. Pamela sadly died earlier this year, and this is a way for her friends and family to honour her memory and give something back to the organisation that supported them through a difficult time. We've all been touched by cancer, or will be. When we need help, Macmillan nurses are there to give it.
Share this post and keep an eye out for publication on 11th July 2015: the facebook page already has almost 500 likes but we need more publicity to raise awareness. My contribution is an embarrassingly true story, 'Ooh, Air Margrit'.
Spread the word and make sure Macmillan nurses are there if you need them!The link again is http://smarturl.it/YoureNotAlneAnth and it's available to pre-order now. Help us push it up the rankings and raise a shedload of money for a great cause.
