Writing for Charity

Not all Projects came to fruition

                                                     An Invitation to Write for Charity 

When I had a reputation as a writer, I was invited to contribute a story to the charity book - Angels Cried - the proceeds went to support the families of the Sandy Hook Massacre.

I helped promote the book online for six months before leaving over a dispute with a German publisher. He came on the programme once he knew of its impact; this annoyed me, as we'd spent months promoting the book. Also, after this time, I thought the families should be left to grieve in peace, not keep having their distress forced on them.

I was asked by a charity that helps Armed Forces personnel recover from traumas of war to write about my time in the Royal Air Force - something I have been asked to do by several people - unfortunately, a lack of funds forced the closure of the project.
