Thanks so much. I have sent it off to quite a few publishers and am waiting for a response. I think though that I will self publish. Thanks for reading my blog.
I love what you’re doing with your blog, and I find your novel intriguing. I too want to share my father’s story as a historical novel but don’t have the benefit of too much history. He was raised in an orphanage from an early age (therefore, quite a bit of fiction!). That book will have to wait until my memoir is finished, or maybe not.
The header image you’ve used is just perfect. A word of caution; if you haven’t used your own image, set up a page called something like “Header Credit” or “Header Attribution” to give the photographer credit for the image. You don’t want a lawsuit for copyright infringement. Take a look at my book review blog or my writing blog at SherreyMeyer.com. Both have such an attribution.
Otherwise, your blog seems to have a good foundation, and I really want some time to read more of it. Good luck with your book!
Highest and Best to you as you await your first published book of shorts, or begin your self-publishing journey. I love that when you found your father’s stories, you decided to continue his legacy by writing them into what may turn out to be a wonderful success. Fingers Crossed!
Thank you for liking my post on One Year On and Still Blogging! It is a great way to connect with people! Where did you grow up in South-East Queensland? We had a cattle property half an hour south of Beaudesert, right on the NSW border. Your book sounds really interesting- old family letters are so valuable! Good Luck with your next book! x
Thanks for checking out my blog. I grew up in a lovely place called Maleny – you may have heard of it. Writing is now something I do every day where I can. Keep up the great work with your blog.
I’m glad you liked my article ‘When A Book Deal Is Not A Big Deal’. Thank you for visiting my site. You have an intriguing premise for a story, I must say. It must have been quite an emotional experience to find those letters and piece the past together. I hail from Malaysia and fully understand what it must have been like to be ruled by the Japanese. It was a very unpleasant time for my grandparents and even parents. Well done in telling your parents’ story in a book! Best wishes
Thanks for liking the post I shared from Rebeca Bryn. Your own writing journey sounds intriguing. I too am trying to write about my father – he was killed in action during WWII when I was 2.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, and I’m glad you enjoyed my post. Look forward to seeing you again soon, doors always open at Jean’s Writing.

Thanks so much for your feedback. I was conscious about using copyright so used my own photo in the header.
