The 10.7 carat Eureka gem is not the biggest or the best diamond to come from South Africa BUT IT WAS THE FIRST! My second novel The Forbidden Zone http://amzn.to/2GSdxcv is about Nazi diamond smugglers in the weeks before WW2. #author #WW2novels #Kindle

My first action thriller novel Break in Communication

In my first novel, Break in Communication, the focal point of the plot is Porthcurno Telegraph Station in Cornwall. The story is fiction but the location is factual and was one of the most heavily guarded facilities in Britain in WW2. In addition to hundreds of troops guarding the area, it was heavily camouflaged and bristling with guns of all calibres. The photo below shows a Porthcurno Pill Box disguised as a Bus Stop.

The cold Benguela fog smothering the Namib Desert coast.

My new action thriller novel The Forbidden Zone https://amzn.to/2GSdxcv is set in the diamond rich Namib Desert of former German South West Africa. The cold Benguela fog that regularly smothers the desert coast is at the heart of the story. It would make an ideal winter read or perhaps a 'stocking filler' for Christmas.
