Wayne,After reading your post here on the Goodreads HF thread, I wish to propose myself and my work for a possible interview. I have a Vietnam War Series with three novels and a fourth coming out in a week or two. All are based on historical events, with a focus on accurate depiction. As a matter of fact, I’ve had several combat vets say they recognized scenes or events about which I write. These novels are not simple “war” stories. I take a holistic approach, not only through deep development of characters, but also by including love interests, home life and non-combatants in order to appeal to a broad range of readers. The first two novels revolve around the CIA’s infamous Phoenix Program. The third, Raeford’s MVP, is a fanciful love story told with dark humor, but only the first six chapters take place in Vietnam. The remainder of the novel follows the protagonist as he seeks to find meaning in his life after the war. The fourth novel, Valley of the Purple Hearts, is a more conventional story that follows a squad of paratroopers into the A Shau Valley after Tet-1968, and it too takes a careful measure of PTSS.
In case you wonder why “PTSS” instead of “PTSD,” I have a fan, a retired brigadier general from the Army medical corps, who insists PTSS is a normal reaction and not a “disorder.”
I hope you find my work worthwhile and look forward to hearing from you.

Hello. I'm new to Goodreads and to this group. I'm not sure if this is appropriate but I would like to take you up on your offer for an interview. My first novel Roots of Faith was recently published in late May and I'm still learning how to market it in various media. It is a rather lengthy (722 pages) intergenerational saga about the trial and tribulations of four southern American families with roots in England, Scotland, and Ulster. Each chapter educates the reader about a significant event in the development of the British and American Christian church and how those events impacted these four families. I know the Christian theme may put some readers "off" but even the non-religious types would find this work informative and help them to understand some of the sociocultural and political forces that went into the development of the United States and, in particular, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi Wayne - if you're still interested, I'd definitely be interested. I'll get in touch.
Hi Wayne, Still looking for author's to interview? I'm raising my hand. Thanks for asking.
Sure am. Always looking for new historical fiction authors with all kinds of stories and backgrounds. Bring it on.
Wayne recently interviewed me concerning my African exploration novel "Beyond The River Of Shame." I received nice feedback. My thanks to Wayne.
Hi Wayne, the launch date for my debut novel is coming in mid-June. If you're offer to interview still stands, I'd love to take you up on it. The novel is set amidst a definitely underwritten time period and major event: The European Thirty Years War (1618-1648). It involves strong elements of international religious warfare, intrigue, family love, faith, and romance. With the 400th anniversary of that cataclysmic war's outbreak rapidly approaching, there's quite a bit of interest building. I look forward to getting in touch with you very soon.
Hi WayneMy debut novel, Finding the Way celebrated it's digital launch on Amazon in April, hard copy availability is forthcoming. It more than fits the bill of an under-written period/characters. In fact I believe it to be the only fictionalized account of Taoist founder, Lao Tzu.
Check it out on my GR page or website, waynengwrites.com.
I'd love for you to interview me.
At the very least, we Wayne's gotta stand together!

Drop me a line. I know were connected on Twitter so send me your email address!
Hello Wayne.I would like to take you up on your offer. My debut novel STOKER: Evolution of a Vampire is a prequel to Dracula and was published in February. Bram Stoker is the central character. I fuse the life and times of Vlad the Impaler with Bram Stoker's timeline and used Bram's own diaries and notes in my plot. Please contact me at chcherry1969@gmail.com.
Wayne, If you are still looking for interview subjects I would like to volunteer myself Zsofi Teleki and my book Sunlight on Shadow and my work in progress a HF. You can see me on goodreads and more reviews on Amazon.
Thanks
I am not getting any interest in my historical novel,
, about Algonquian natives at and near Roanoke Island in 1583 and 1584, concluding with the arrival of English explorers sent to the New World to find a suitable place to establish a colony. Yes, I would be interested in being interviewed. Thank you for the opportunity.
Hey, I'm up for it. I just published the first two volumes in my historical fiction series after 18 years of research and writing. I'm an engineer by trade and we're not terribly creative people LOL. It was a struggle.
Hi Wayne, I would love to be interviewed as Historical Fiction is my lifeblood. I've self-published a series of five books so far set in Britain in the late 17th Century. I chose this period because it is overlooked. There are lots of books set a hundred years earlier and a hundred years later, but relatively few on this period when so much of the modern nation of the United Kingdom was formed. Outside this series, I write an awful lot concerning history - alternative, what if etc. I've loved history since my early schooldays. I would love to discuss this with you if you want to take this forward.Best wishes

I'm really surprised you're not getting any attention and wish you all the best. I've read a couple of books covering this - both from the English perspective - so from the 'other side' is really unusual.
Hi Wayne,I realize your original invitation was posted some time ago, but I wanted to ask if you’re still interviewing historical fiction authors.
My first novel, Men in Bras, is set in New York City’s Garment District in 1959 and centers on the intimate apparel industry—an unusual world that I spent more than forty years working in myself.
The story is fiction, but the industry, atmosphere and many of the personalities were inspired by a world I knew firsthand. It’s a family saga with humor, drama, romance and some crime woven through it.
If you’re still doing interviews, I’d love the opportunity to talk with you about the book and the largely vanished New York industry that inspired it.
Best,
Terry Hyams
Wayne - I think ARIZPE might apply! Historically accurate descriptions of people and events in 1870s Sonora - including the political and religious turmoil and social unrest - that led to murder, mystery and a touch of the supernatural in the story. Protagonist modern day archeologist Valerie Guerrero relives the history of the period during her search for the truth behind a forgotten desert grave. Anyone else on this thread is welcome to the free sample and to leave an Amazon review! KL Arizpe
