Modeling books and a novel
Hi All,
I don't know if this is permissible here; but I just want to alert of you to something. CHRIS DALEY PUBLISHING has reverted the rights to my Revell PT Boat Kits In Plastic, A Review and my Building, Detailing, and Converting the 1: 35 Scale Italeri PT-596 books to me.
As of late June/early July - I have self-published them via CREATESPACE (with the assistance of Mr. Daley himself) and I've subsequently learned that they are currently available on CREATESPACE's own site and they are also only on the US based sites of Amazon and Barnes & Noble, so they are still available for you guys.
Additionally, although it's fiction - it is WW2 navy related ...
I've written and self-published a novel, A LIFE REVISITED ... This story follows a young naval officer from his time in a New England prep school, the Naval Academy through to the Second World War and his two love affairs. It describes his time on PT boats and his love of these speedy little fighting boats which were often called 'fifty-tons of fightin' fury' After his death, his only son is inventorying his estate and comes across his unfinished memoir and read some of it and was amazed at what he read in it.
I HOPE that you guys will buy any of its versions; the hardcover, the paperback or the eBook. It was a labor of love for me that I started in 1981, the subplot of the novel is very close to my heart ...
Thank you,
Garth
