   Dear Sir, I have enjoyed reading your Navy Destroyer Series and the two Red Flight Break series. Will you be publishing Alluminium Rain, The Legend Of White and Mosquito Bites in Paperback format. I cannot read the books on the current formats.

   Kind regards

   I found this author and his works to be intreging.
   He is well versed in most things aeronautical, naval,and Army to be credibly fluent and able to tell , to this audience, a credible tale or ten.
   His insight into female emotions was interesting and , to me , suggested he co-authored these works with an unacknowleged female collaborator.
   No matter, it changed the pace of the novelsand did not detract from my readers enjoyment.
   I shall continue to purchase this author’s work via Amazon, until either of us is exhausted.
