The View from the Forest

About the Book

I am not heroic. I have never been a soldier or travelled extensively. My adventures have been low-key but perhaps unique. They have formed the basis of my stories, some of which are presented here. In some cases, the first person is used; in others, the third person. Sometimes a name, such as Will, is used, but they are all based on my personal experiences woven into story form.
