Interlude 2

Five of my books, four novels (And in the Morning, Shot at Dawn, Red Goodwin, Wings of War), and one non-fiction (Desperate Glory: The Story of WWI) are set during the First World War.

As part of marking the 100th anniversary of the war, I have created a new Blog, in which I will upload short extracts from my WWI books (whichever seems appropriate), over the next while.

Told in diary format, And in the Morning deals with a young soldier's breakdown in 1916.

Shot at Dawn looks at what deserters did in the months between desertion and capture.

Red Goodwin deals with the draft dodgers in Canada.

Wings of War is set in the early days of flight and dogfights.

Desperate Glory is a heavily illustrated history of the war.

To begin, here's a short extract from Chapter One of the recently published Wings of War.

Enjoy.
