I looked forward to visiting the Normandy coast this July, especially after seeing the amazing D-Day commemorative ceremony on television. World War II played a very big role in my life. My father's friends had all been soldiers, my mother worked in London, England during the blitz. I had Scottish relatives bombed in Glasgow, and unknown relatives buried in war cemeteries in strange sounding places like Kuala Lumpur.

We are happy to annouce that Kid Soldier by Jennifer Maurno, has been nominated for the 2015 Rocky Mountain Book Award!

I recently participated in a ‘blog hop’, a kind of chain letter for writers: one writer tags the next. We all answer the same four questions. This is a condensed version of my replies. For the full version, with links to blogs by some really interesting writers, visit www.erbrown.com
