This is a what if novel set during, and just at the end of the America Civil War. A sixth novel, "The Thackery Journal" was published in August 2013. I set up my own publishing company, Phoenix, and re-issued all of my original five novels. In August 2012 I decided to self publish.
A fourth Kendall novel, "A Killing In The City", was published in 2012. Over the following four years three more of my novels all featuring my private detective Tom Kendall, were published - "The Mackenzie Dossier", "The Marinski Affair", and "Epidemic". A plot began to form in my mind, and in December 2006 "The Kammersee Affair" was published by Raider Publishing International in New York. Millions of counterfeit dollars and pounds were discovered documents detailing where stolen artifacts were hidden weapons jewellery, but no gold bullion. These searches went on until the middle of the 1980's. After the war extensive searches were carried out. There were also rumours of gold bullion being placed into the lake, with plans to recover at some later stage. As the war drew to a close many items were hidden in the lake - weapons, documents, counterfeit dollars, and pounds sterling, and jewellery. This lake was used by the German Navy, in World War 2, to test rockets, missiles, and torpedoes. We stayed in a small village Grundl situated on lake Grundlsee, the first of three lakes in close proximity. Then in 2005 we went to the Austrian lake district. I suppose, like many people, I had always wanted to write a novel, but I could never think of a decent original plot. During that time I prepared architectural drawings for a major animal shelter which is still operating.
I have also been concerned with animal welfare, and for many years I was Chairman of the local branch of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In 2004 I had a heart attack, which had a major effect on my business, and I eventually retired in 2008. I then set up my own practice carrying out property surveys, and preparing architectural drawings for extensions, conversions, and new builds. In 1972 I was employed by the Greater London Council, as a Senior Project Manager, remaining with them until the Council was closed down in 1986. I now live in Essex with my wfe Margaret, who I married in September 1969 and my daughter Elizabeth. For many years I worked in local government as a land surveyor, spending some time with the Metropolitan Borough of Stepney, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. I was born in 1943 in Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire.
