Dear Friends:
As you may know, my web page, “World War II Plus 55,” is no longer on the web, since the death of my webmaster, Howard Wright, in August 2013.
Since then, I have reviewed the fate and future of this project, which was rendered overtaken by time and non-existent by mortality.
I have turned into what will become a series of E-books, a day-by-day history of World War II, timed to the conflict’s 75th anniversary, using my original material (to which I retain the copyright), and substantially expanding and rewriting it, to address errors, include additional information and characters, and generally make it more interesting, and finally earn a buck off of it.
The advantage of self-publishing is that I can bypass the world of agents and am not restricted by space and time. The disadvantage is that it’s hard to market one’s own work. Nevertheless, I am going to try.
Consequently, my book, “World War II Plus 75 – The Road to War,” is now available as of this instant, from the Smashwords Premium Catalogue, at the weblink listed below, for $3.99. The first volume is 850 pages, and future volumes will cover the war in a day-by-day format, from September 1, 1939, to September 2, 1945, all based on my award-winning series.

[www.amazon.com]
The book’s price is $5.49. Please leave comments and reviews.
Fans of this site will find it interesting, as it covers the roots of the war, and the succeeding volumes will cover the U-boat war in immense detail, starting with the sinking of SS Athenia on September 3, 1939. Among the major "characters" that will be followed will be U-505, which had a unique history.
