I am also happy to announce that a review of my book appears in the Winter 2011 issue of the Bucknell Magazine, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA.

This is my first post of 2011, and I am just coming out of my winter hibernation. It is still cold in Virginia, but I see scant signs of Spring on the horizon. I am working my next book which is based on letters that my brother wrote home from the Far East in WWII. They give a portrait of a soldier's life (and death) in the big war. John was killed on Easter Sunday, 1945 in the Phillipines Islands during the mop up operation of residual Japanese soldiers on the island. Prior to that time, he wrote 192 letters to his Mother and family. I will provide a preview in coming posts. In the meantime, stay warm.            M.T.
