Memoir

Patricia E. Roach "Now Is The Hour"

A Real Story, Letter by Letter, about Real People Caught Up in the Misfortune of War. Adventurous, army wife-to be, Ellen Anderson, launches herself into the turbulent skies of WWII charting a Connecticut to California cross-country course as she travels to rendezvous with and marry her handsome, army air force bombardier fly-boy, Alex Carlson, Jr. Only a network of letters written faithfully and carefully keeps Ellen and her family connected. Moving through the tumultuous years of war, the Andersons must confront separation, infidelity and even death - startling events that will shred the fabric of the family cover forever. NOW IS THE HOUR melds real letters with supportive narrative extrapolated from the letters' text to unfold a story that brings to light fresh and compelling images of this critical moment in time.





Howard Layton "Love and Sand"

Brookfield, CT

IT'S ABOUT FLYING It's about bombing, strafing and military mayhem in the deserts of WWII. It is also a story of love found and love lost. As a World War Two RAF flyer, the author presents his eye witness account of inspiring acts of bravery, skill and airmanship on the part of those who flew the planes and manned the guns in the battle that led to the Allies first decisive victory of the war: EL ALAMEIN. Interwoven with all the miltary mayhem, the author also tells the true story of his first wondrous love; of how he won her and how, through the fecklessness of youth and the exigencies of war, he eventually lost her.
