Hello friends!

I finished a short story last night, after two months of procrastrination followed by two actual weeks of daily drafting. And I decided to celebrate by rambling to you about some of the amazing things I learned during the research for this story, which is set in the middle of the Battle of Normandy, in a British field hospital. And then I ramble some more about how my own family history is a big part of why I found the WW2 research so fascinating.

Links mentioned:

• 4TheWords, the writing game that I'm allowed to be addicted to. (If you would like to give it a try, you can use my referral code and get a wee bit of currency tokens to play around with)
• Sisters In Arms, British Army Nurses Tell Their Story, by Nicola Tyrer: This is the book that taught me most of what I was able to find about Queen Alexandra's Imperial Army Nursing Service, and the work QAs did on all fronts of WW2.
• The Halloween Horrors of Old Mill Lane, including The Host of Old Mill Lane, the first story I wrote featuring the main character of the recently finished draft.

And then, of course, I am super curious about the ways in which your own personal or family history influences your stories.

Hit me up on Twitter, shoot me an email, or come and visit me on Discord on the INKubator!

And of course, I will talk to you later!
