A Tale of Wild Geese

The year was 1940 and the skies above Britain were about to become a war zone. Eleanor Davies was a 19-year-old barmaid in the Lark. Her cousin, Johnny, had been bringing her things he thought she would like for as long as she could remember. He'd bring her a flower or a seashell that caught his eye. One day, he brought her a young American pilot and all their lives changed forever.

Danny O'Neal wasn't supposed to be in the RAF, it violated his country's neutrality agreements. He also wasn't supposed to be falling in love. He had come to England in the hope that he could leave his past behind and build a life for himself. Meeting a girl hadn't been part of his plans.

This is a tale of coming of age and falling in love, building something worthwhile in the midst of the greatest conflict the world has ever known. Above all, it's a love story that spans across continents. The love story that left all of them changed forever.

A Place to Land

World War II had left all of them with scars, not all of them visible, and it wasn't over yet. At night the Focke-Wulf still hunted Johnny and the people he loved. When his career as a fighter pilot had ended, Johnny Reilly had come to Africa to make peace with his beloved cousin, to bring her husband home to her.

He hadn't meant to stay, but the lovely Louise Viljoen had changed that when she kissed him in front of his hotel...Lou was the only girl who had him off guard and kept him that way. Somehow, she knew how to help him through the nightmares. He was a penniless, broken-down pilot and was about to become a father. He had to find a way to build a life for them, and he had to do it quickly. Johnny is forced to face the past and the things that haunt him.

It's a story of love, brotherhood, adventure and one man's quest to find a place to land and a way to put his demons to rest.

Red Cross Letters

When Richard Norwood gets in a deadly dogfight with an Italian boy over Egypt, and has to parachute out, he doesn’t expect it to define the rest of his life. It’s war – kill or be killed – but when both he and the Italian end up on the ground he finds that there are no politics in humanity and that a promise to a dying man must be honoured. The promise turns into a letter to Vittoria Martinelli, a nurse in the American Red Cross.

This is the story of wartime letters that carried one man and one woman through the Second World War. It’s the story of a great artist and a masterpiece painted on Maleme Beach in 1941, and it’s also the story of a Hawker Hurricane called Molly Malone with a kilted pin-up girl painted on her fuselage.

It’s a lament, a love story and a requiem for all the things that should have been but will never come to pass.
