    About this ebook

    Historical Fiction

    Although this story is true I have used Fictional characters throughout so as not to offend or upset any living relatives.

    But please allow me to take you on a journey through time,back to the year 1919 ,the year after the war to end all wars ended.We the brits were unable to supply the ships to take our allies home so camps just like Kinmel Camp were set up to house the men awaiting said ships to take them home.Infact all they wanted was to return home to love ones.The camp was situated in North Wales and housed some 20,000 men mostly from the Canadian Expeditonary Force who had fought bravely to give us the freedom we enjoy today.The camp was damp,cold and worse than the trenches they had left behind.A flu epidemic swept the camp and along with lack of pay the men rioted,almost bringing the camp to its knees.During the riot five young Canadian soldiers were killed by bayonet and bullet but nobody was ever charged with those deaths?. It was whilst my wife and I stood over the five graves with the Maple Leaf emblem on them I knew one day I would write this book in their memory.A story I hope will remind us how lucky we are,and how they had fought bravely to give us this freedom we enjoy?. The cover is of St Margerets church known fondly by the locals as the Marble Church because of its foundations, in Bodelwyddan North Wales.A place you may never had heard of,but back in 1919 it was on the cover of almost each and every Newspaper!.

Just been informed A Bolt From The Blue-The Halifax Explosion is to be published alongside Sealed With A Loving Kiss and The Black and White House at https://blazingheartpub.com or https://www.smashwords.com/I am a prolific author of many books, books that may never see the light of day or indeed get published, but I love what I do and that gives me the hope that one day I see one of books in the stores. I do not write one specific area, infact my books are mostly diverse for instance.A Bolt From The Blue is historical fiction woven around a true story.A story that has mostly been erased through the sands of time .Un coup de bleu L'explosion de Halifax Available at avidpublishingLLC or blazingheartpublishing.comA Bolt From The Blue-The Halifax Explosion .The bells ring out in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada each and every year on December 6th at 9am to remind folks of the tragedy that happened in 1917 when two ammunition ships collided in the Harbour of Halifax and Dartmouth. A tragedy that took almost 2,000 lives.Kinmel Revisited is another of historical fiction woven once again around the fascinating story of the Kinmel Camp Riot in 1919 in North Wales.This book is also available at avidpublishingLLC or blazingheartpublishing.comThe Black and White House is a on the edge nail biting thriller that will leave readers maybe thirsting for more of the same as Joshua Jenks a poor coloured boy from Memphis goes on to defy the odds by becoming a Senator and this is where his troubles begin!. At this stage I would like to introduce adult readers to my series of adult fictional crime. I say adult simply because each book contains explicit references suitable for adults. I have four books in the series and the first is now on Smashwords entitled Hell Bent on Murder,followed by Hell Bent on Revenge and if this has wetted your appetite then to come shortly is Hell Bent on Corruption followed by Hell Bent on Blackmail, all featuring ex met cop turned private eye Jim Bent. It is my hope one day to continue with Hell Bent on Collaboration, but at this juncture please by all means read of Jim Bent and his adventures when he leaves the met after fifteen years and takes on the role of a private eye.If you have enjoyed the first two in my series thenHell Bent on Corruption and Hell Bent on Blackmail will leave you thirsting for more of the same?.So why not indulge yourself and read all four books of racy adult fictional crime? .Coming soon to add to your reader experience is my book of Irish Romantic Fiction entitled S.W.A.L.K Sealed With A Loving Kiss. This story is set at a time when Belfast, Margots home town was occupied by the British Army. The story is centred around Margot Giligan a young Irish Lass who is about to leave the confines of her local all girls Catholic school and venture out into the world of employment. This is a story of a romance that blossoms through all adversity. out shortly on Smashwords this a romance lovers dream .So look for it soon folks please..THE BLACK AND WHITE HOUSE SECTION OF REVIEW BY ramonaportelli@hotmail.comReading this book ‘The Black and White House’ by author Robert James Bridge kept me hooked on. It is literally a piece of fiction as it deals with several themes that are prominent in today’s world. I can reveal and admit that this book was an addictive read for me.The story takes us back in the 1950’s era. Born to a poor family, Joshua Jenks is a black man who rises to the challenge of becoming a Senator for Memphis, Privileged to be taken under the wings of Sam McLeod, the patriarch of a rich white family for whom his family worked under, he is given an education the envy of many of his friends and peers.His dreams though puts him directly in the line of racism even as he confronts the world of politics and power. Terrorism and its threats play a huge role in his line of work as a Middle East advisor with direct access to the President himself.The Black and White House - Section of Review by ramonaportelli@hotmail.com
