My great-great-great grandfather immigrated from County Wicklow in the late 1840s as a child. He was killed during the Civil War, fighting for his adopted country. He left behind a wife and several children. #memorialday
Anastasia is grooming me. She has very strict standards of personal hygiene and I can’t be trusted to meet them without her help. #cats #catdad #catsofinstagram #catstagram
I’m little early for Day 27 of the #authorschallenge2019 , but it is about military characters. My WW2 novel So Others May Live concerns the flight of Lancaster P for Paul, nicknamed Paddy’s Wagon by the crew, and the firefighters at a station in Berlin. They count as military characters as they were on the front lines of the air war. So here are the captions. 1. Crew of Paddy’s Wagon: Mick, Cam, McKenzie, Graham, Turner, Williams, and Lawton. 2. Karl Weber, station officer at a station near Charlottenberg. 3. Young Luftschutz women assigned to Karl’s station: Schneider, Hartmann, Koch, and Becker. 4. Shameless self promotion. But in all seriousness, few novels touch on the German fire service during the War. So why not give it a try? The Kindle version is only 99 cents from Memorial Day through D-Day! #authorsofinstagram #fiction #histfic #writersofinstagram
Watched this on Netflix. Oh my god.... Here’s my “favorite” parts: 1. Handling fire scene evidence with your bare hands. 2. Returning to an old boarded up fire scene without a search warrant, and you bring a stray dog with you. And the stray dog helps find a piece of evidence. 3. An arson investigator transferred from suppression after she got caught stealing from fire scenes, yet manages to be a certified peace officer? It makes those of us who work(ed) arson out to be fire crazy cowboys. In that, I think they have us confused with truckies. They should’ve stopped making firefighting movies after The Towering Inferno and Emergency.
I am a HUGE fan of radio dramas. I found this series on Audible. Follow the exploits of James McLevy, Inspector of Police, his foil Constable Mulholland, and his love/hate relationship with bawdy house keeper Jean Brash, Mistress of the Just Land. Set in the gritty streets of Victorian Edinburgh, it ran for 12 series which are all available on Audible in six sets of two series each. There are also a few novel spinoffs, but IMHO, the audio dramas are better.
