A VERY DIFFICULT MAN


PRINT DAY fast approaches for my historical romance. January 19th is tomorrow! My hero, Richard, Lord Glenmore, was wounded in body and soul during the Crimean War. He served with the 17th Lancers and was part of the famous Light Brigade that charged the Russian guns and were slaughtered.
Richard's horse was shot out under him and the shrapnel tore into his right leg.

The famous poem, The Charge of The Light Brigade, tells the story and hints at the "blundering" orders that sent the Lights into certain death. Richard came home to England a bitter man. So many young men needlessly slaughtered troubled him and he withdrew from society and became a recluse. We might call it Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome now.

Richard is The Very Difficult Man in my story. To find out how he recovers you must buy my book. Order the print copy or the e-copy from Cerridwen Press.

Thanks for dropping by.
