To everyone involved in this thread, I'm excited to say that the novel I posted about 13 months ago is now published and available everywhere, including Kindle. A Legacy Forged is receiving terrific reviews on the historical content too.
I wanted to show your acknowledgement in the image below. I did not expect to be drawn into the fascinating world of Brum history and this is largely thanks to the research rabbit holes you pointed me to. I am truly grateful for your help and hope that I might visit again now that Book 2 - which covers the two world wars is on the PC.
Kind regards to everyone and thank you
@Richard Dye for reading Chapter 1 - I wasn't notified of your reply, I'm sorry for the late response - you'll be encouraged to know that reviews on Goodreads call it a book with heart and soul and a message of hope in adversity.
