2013 is turning out to be a good year for FALL EAGLE ONE. Sales picked up over the holidays and have continued to climb. Meanwhile, I've been churning away on my new novel, HOLD BACK THE SUN, about the adventures of two U.S. Navy Asiatic Fleet lieutenants in the opening months of WW2 in the western Pacific. My editor (my wife Annette) is working through the copyright draft as I write. The current schedule envisions publishing HBTS as a Kindle book in May and the paperback version a little later (requires a radically different formatting).

I'd be glad to answer any questions my readers may have about FALL EAGLE ONE, the WW2 settings of the book, or the characters involved, both real people and fictional ones.

Historical Characters in FALL EAGLE ONE

A number of real people appear in FALL EAGLE ONE: Churchill, FDR, Hermann Goering, Hitler, George Marshall, and many others. I have portrayed them all as accurately as exhaustive research allowed. Goering actually had a genius IQ and amassed a vast fortune by appropriating state owned industries. He was lazy and became addicted to morphine after being shot in the groin in Munich. Hitler was given to fits of rage, which some historians lay to the massive doses of meth administered by his doctor. The story of FDR's bout of congestive heart failure in the spring of 1944 is documented in many books about the wartime President. I was fortunate to be able to visit the British Cabinet War Rooms in London , allowing me to accurately describe them when Evan Thompson briefed Churchill. Even Siegfried von Rall is based on an actual person: Colonel Siegfried Knemeyer, Goering's Technical Advisor late in the war.

Redesigned Website

Check out my redesigned website at  https://sites.google.com/site/warrenbellauthor/. New features include reviews from various sources and sample chapters from my debut novel, FALL EAGLE ONE. Next month I plan to add the first chapter of my current project, HOLD BACK THE SUN.

I made good progress this week on my new historical novel, HOLD BACK THE SUN. This story follows two newly activated USN Lieutenants, one a gunnery officer on a 4-stacker destroyer and the other a floatplane pilot on the cruiser U.S.S. MARBLEHEAD. The time is the opening months of the Pacific War in the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. The heroic battles of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet against overwhelming odds are chronicled. The story has naval surface combat, aerial combat, land battles, intrigue, and romance with English and Dutch women. Target date for publication is October 2012.
