…Hedyn held an old sheet iron helmet and a mail tunic up in the starlight to see them better.  The breast of the mail bore a ragged hole and the heavy links were sticky. It took a moment for Hedyn to realize it was soaked in drying blood.

“A bascinet and hauberk?” he asked.

“Aye, you shall need these before the night is done.” . . .

Treachery, disease, hunger, and death plague their steps as King Henry’s men near their fateful battle with the French army at Agincourt.  Eager to see the world that lies beyond his small Cornish village, 12 year old Hedyn, son of an archer and serf, is thrilled to be chosen to join King Henry’s army as it advances on Normandy.  His excitement quickly gives way to exhaustion in body and spirit, as well as worry for the safety of his newfound friends and comrades.  Can a mysterious stranger with a secretive past offer Hedyn hope amidst the horrors of battle?

The Archer’s Son has remained on the Amazon,UK top ten best seller’s list for kid’s medieval fiction for over fourteen months!

The things we remember...............

Raymond Johns - Author from Bagdad

Raymond Johns - Author

All I wanted was a boat. But you know the story about a boat and what happens next. So I had to sell the boat or face the wrath of Karen Campbell.
Sold it to a man who is dragging logs out of the river but he needed a truck. I helped him find a truck which promptly broke six times in two months. So I found him another truck for trade by way of a man named Freeman Simpson.  Freeman has a buddy named Raymond Johns who is a budding author with few resources to reach his market.

A letter from President G.W. Bush

THIS means the boat purchase from the recommendation of the daughter of the man who told me about the glass tektite meteorite from Barnetts Crossroads in 1967 has led to this moment of helping Mr. Johns get his books into print or electronic media without any cost to himself.  My suggestion is to use Createspace.com (Amazon) or Lulu.com (independent).




These places on the web make book publishing easy and actually NO cost to the author until the books start to sell --- at which time a percentage goes to those companies.

A Beginner Reading Book

Some of his books are targeted toward children - including a coloring book and an early reader. Other books are geared toward philosophical or religious insight. I am going to try to set up a place for him using free - Gospaces.com. Some of these books should be electronic downloads anyway.

Among the Mr. John's hobbies is the practice of writing to Presidents of the United States or to other government leaders to offer them encouragement.  He has letters in return from George W. Bush and Barack Obama among other government leaders.  I have suggested he can create a book from his correspondence to and from those leaders and probably find an interested audience.  We are going to look into that. I may help him scan the material.  And I am going to show him how to set up a blog like this one -  or my In Country with Uncle Vic Blog where he can write to his heart's content and get the word out about his various projects.

Coloring Book with Nutrition

The man is multi-talented. Other hobbies include the making of metal sculptures from scrap material and he collects a wide variety of art - some of it originals - some of it that might find interested buyers on the internet. So --- for want of a boat --- I am now involved in ONE MORE project.  I'll be back over at the Perdido River today to see how the RIVER LOGGER is doing.

The USS Houston - a movie

I hope you will look into this video that I have placed on GBOX. For 99 cents you can watch Part I of the story of the USS Houston.  You will also get THREE free shares for your friends. Just pay for one (yours) and three of your friends can watch it for free.  GBOX is a streaming company similar to Youtube but with a system to help producers make some money. Once you buy the film or get it for free - you can watch it ANY time you like again and again from your personal log in. The movie remains in the cloud - yours to watch.  This is PART ONE of " DEATH OF A GHOST - the last stand of USS Houston" Part TWO is the POW experience (remember "the River Kwai?" ).  I hope you appreciate the history and pass it along. It was an honor to make this documentary with these special veterans.  Until recently the only way you could see it was by DVD at a cost of about $15.
