Synopsis

The war is raging through Italy in 1943, and a young Canadian soldier struggles to stay alive. But nothing can dampen his sense of humour—not hunger or horror or the shellfire that doesn’t always miss. Not month after month in the thick of the fight. Tommy is irrepressible. It doesn’t sound like much fun? Well, it is...the way Tommy tells it. Make no mistake. Tommy’s not fictional. He was a real soldier, and these things happened to him—all of them.

About this title

About the Author

I'm a Canadian author—a pragmatic optimist with rather eclectic interests and a pervasive sense of humour. Toronto born and bred, I live by the lake with a motley array of dogs and a cat, all but myself being of unknown origin, in a comfortable old house filled with books. Over a thousand books. Books in every nook and cranny. And now, since there can never be too many books, I'm writing more. Once More...From the Beginning was the first book I brought before the public, followed by Dodging Shells, and there are more, pacing in the wings, impatiently waiting to take their turn on stage. Recently, I initiated the well-received website Past Times Books, bringing together many of the best new historical fiction authors and their books for HF fans.
