I have had to keep quite about this for a little while but now I can reveal that I have signed a contract with Barnthorn Publishing Limited to publish my book!
You can find the announcement here on Facebook or on Twitter.
The book will be covering the escape attempts, both successful and unsuccessful, from the Channel Islands during the German occupation of the islands. I have spent over a year researching this topic to bring you the personal stories of those involved.  The reasons why they risked their lives, the impact of their escapes, the use of information they provided to the UK intelligence services and much more.
I owe a number of people a mention for encouraging me to write a book. Not least my partner Katie Roger who has spent many hours proof reading my blog posts and putting up with the time I spend researching and writing! All the people I have met through We Have Ways Podcast who also spurred me on to do this! Plus many others.
I am really looking forward to working with the Barnthorn team to bring these stories to you.
Stay tuned for more updates on progress. If you haven’t already sign up for the free email alerts here and follow me on social media which you can find on my Linktree here.
The blog will still be updated with posts about other aspects of the occupation so there will still be plenty to read whilst I am writing the book.
I hope that you have enjoyed reading the blog post.
I also co-host a podcast with Keith Pengelley in which we talk about the occupation of the Channel Islands month by month using first hand accounts, diaries and our research in the archives. You can find us on all the major podcast services. Just search “Islands at War” or visit our podcast page here.
You can also follow the blog on Twitter at @Fortress_Island where I share other information and photographs. If you prefer Facebook I also have a page there. 
If you would like to receive email notifications of future blogs, you can sign up to the right of this blog post or here. Feel free to look around the website, where I have categorised posts to make them easier to find and other resources such as tours, places to visit and films that may be of interest.
If you have questions or information to share you can contact me by email on Contact@Island-Fortress.Com.
You can also find articles, podcasts, TV appearances and other social media etc here.
I will be adding more as time permits. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you enjoyed it. Please share it on social media or add a comment if you did. Feedback is always appreciated.
Also happy to be contacted with questions about the war in the Channel Islands, media appearances, podcasts etc.
