    Effective November 30, 2017, my latest book, the above, was released.    This is the first link I have found where it is for sale:

     My father was an original prepper and an original survivor in a number of harsh and foreign lands. He is no doubt where a lot of my interest and mindset in preparedness is derived.

   
     Thank you for your interest and a special thanks goes out to those who contributed or aided me in some way in this most difficult of my books.

Coming Soon: A Fourth Book

         
Lawrence DeWolfe Kelsey, taken just before the Finn Ronne Antarctic Expedition of the 1940s.



            Shortly, I hope that my fourth book will be available for sale and distribution, probably sometime in late November, 2017.



               This next book is the biography of the explorer, Lawrence DeWolfe Kelsey, who was a WWII ship's radio officer, at first in the Merchant Marine. Next, he became the radio officer on the Finn Ronne Antarctic Expedition of the late nineteen-forties. Afterward, he held assignments in the North Pole and then on to Afghanistan.  The book is not only a story of the occupational life of this man, from a fascinating era, but is also a story of his challenges, sorrows and triumphs. Lawrence Kelsey is also my father.

               I hope that you are able to make time to read what has been my most challenging book to write thus far.  Thank you for your support and encouragement with regard to this project..



  It will be entitled, Lawrence DeWolfe Kelsey: The Life of the Explorer

Embroiled in a Writing Marathon


                   I apologize for my minimal presence on the blogs.  I have been writing my fourth book which is a true story of the life of a modern day explorer. It has been very challenging, in part, because it has required so many interviews of people who were involved in an expedition or a project of some kind.  I have reached 102,000 words thus far. The project is not yet finished, and then the process of revisions must take place before it goes on to editing.   Thank you for checking back.  Have a lovely autumn.

Writing Can be Hard Work

                   



                   Thank you for all of you who bought or downloaded a copy of Portsoy Woods.
      I am currently working on an historical biography which is tough going because there are so many historical facts that have to be checked and verified before telling the stories within the book. Thus far, the new book has attained about sixty-seven thousand words, and I don't yet know how many words it will be when it's complete. I have also to complete about three more interviews in advance of writing or completing certain chapters.  I also have not yet reached one of the people I would like to interview for his perspective, who now lives in Europe.

                   I had hoped to have this book released by late autumn, but this is the most difficult and complex project I have undertaken, and it might take longer. Once it is complete from my standpoint, it needs to be read by several people I trust. Then I must polish and review and make revisions.  In short, some projects don't flow like wine, or even honey.

                  I hope all of you have had an enjoyable and safe summer.
