Amazing news I want to share with you, my book Mendelevskis Box is today at No1 in Amazon Kindles in both Historical Fiction and Jewish Literature genres! Can't believe it

Great reading this Summer if you are in isolation, not quite as exciting at watching Town tho

Great achievement.  Now that it is very well-reviewed, I will buy a copy.  Nothing else to do for 3 plus months. 😃😃

Ta mate, hope you enjoy it Review it if you can

I am working on another book but I need to go to the Netherlands to do research in Urk (it's a fishing community tale) and I had planned to go during the Euros (Amsterdam is fantastic during the big tournaments when the Dutch are playing) but that's not going to happen.

Being in isolation at home I am still hoping to crack on with the book but it will all go mammaries up if I offend any families in Urk by using the wrong names or by using real life events there in my story without asking

Do you have film rights Swin ?

Seems inevitable that good books nowadays get turned into films somewhere down the line.

When I read it I pictured the bar owner, was it Jos?, as male private Strawbridge from escape to the chateau.
