Proud to have worked on this book with Jamie, a remarkable man with an extraordinary story to tell

@HackedOffHugh I think you have to be patient and wait for the plastic to biodegrade. Have a snack in the meantime

Otto Eckhart’s Ordeal by @EdworthyNiall is a hilarious Third Reich pisstake - way cannier and cleverer than Inglorious Basterds. It’s also charming, romantic and gripping. Loving it. Highly recommended. Published by @unicornpubgroup

INGRID BEHRINGER.

Writing a book is hard graft and, during & after, you sometimes wonder if it's worth the huge effort. Why bother? Bit of a boast this but it's uplifting when you receive a nod #historicalfiction #ww2 #history #historyreads #BookRecommendation @UnicornPubGroup @Bookollective
