GIFTS OF DAWN

Hello to all,

I was supposed to be published Feb last year but the publisher went broke, the publisher didn't even let the distributor know and my book is still advertised on their site; The Mind of War

with it's own ISBN number still assigned.

I'm currently looking for an agent to represent me this time around so I can have better guidance rather than trying to seek a publisher myself.

My first book is about my experience as a 17 year old soldier in the Gulf War 1990/91.

THE MIND OF WAR

     The Mind of War focuses on the psychological impact of military conflict from the real experiences of a soldier who served with the British Army during the first Gulf War. As a young army recruit, the author was sent to the Middle East as a Battle Casualty Replacement at the age of 17 and served with the Army War Graves Service. His work included the recovery and burial of the remains of fallen soldiers, both British and Iraqi, from the desert battlefields.
     The psychological effects of daily exposure to such carnage are rarely publicised, as very few soldiers are able to talk about the horrific experiences they have encountered during active service. The author is an exception, and his true story offers a disturbing, yet thoroughly absorbing insight into how the human mind is affected by repeated exposure to gruesome battlefield scenes.

     In my second book I am writing about my experiences during tours of duty in Northern Ireland and my third book I will be writing about a tour of duty in the jungle. I am unsure which tour or experience I will write about after that but I have had many tours of duty during my 19 years in the British & New Zealand Armies.

     If you want to see some snippets of The Mind of War you can find it on Facebook;
 

     There are also quite a few photos from the War, but the faint-hearted be warned, some are gruesome. Enjoy.
