I will be publishing on Monday, April 22. This is a later date than previously intended, but I made room to accomodate for editing and other processes. This week has been light on work, considering that designing the cover of my book took much less time than I had anticipated. There were three things I needed to complete before the publishing of my novel:
It is crazy to imagine that my novel is coming to a close - after about six months of working on it! I did email Mr. Lancaster and the Think Tank of MSI to collect images from the museum that I could not obtain online. Unfortunately, I cannot visit the museum before the publication of “When Sea Becomes Cemetery”. They supplied me with the images, which were used to detail the disappearance of Walther Schmidt to his parents. To view a sneak peak of my novel, visit the attached document; the link for buying the book should be up next week. Very honorable Mister Schmidt! Au Flottillencheif I’ll fulfill my duty to write to you with really, a very heavy heart. Based on an announcement from the Commander of U-boats I will have to let you know that the boat under Command of the experience Oberleutnant zur See d.R. Lange with your son, Walther Schmidt as a member of the crew, is since July 13-1944 missing. It left in Mid March from an Atlantic base and was heard from last from Guinea (West Africa). In spite of several attempts to establish communications and a certain waiting period, it did not respond. What happened to the brave crew is unfortunately totally uncertain. Even if we do not know how the Boat was lost, we do not wish to give up the slim hope that the crew is safe. Perhaps they were able to leave the boat on the surface and were rescued by enemy vessels. Research to the possibility is underway with the help from the Red Cross. Since we know from past experience that our opponents are usually very slow in reporting these happenings, I would like to ask you my dear Mr. Schmidt to please...
