Between Heidi and Horror: A Brief Memoir of the Somme	by Stewart Hennessey May 23, 2012	Free!	23009 words	Read a sample
The autobiographical tale of Brinsley Fox's mysterious desertion from the Battle of the Somme. Known in his day as a spy, forger, thief, inveterate gambler and venal libertine, Fox's motives for being at the Battle were always suspect. Paradoxically, he was a reputed hero at the Somme. Here, he reveals how that unjustified reputation was acquired, and how he weaseled out of the carnage.
Author bio: Stewart Hennessey lives with his wife and two children in the Scottish Borders, close to the village where he grew up. He has also lived in Glasgow, London, Moscow, Edinburgh, the South of France and The Pentland Hills. He divides his time between ghost-writing, copywriting, a friend's property business, fiction-writing, parenting and desperately trying to find time to paraglide. As a child, Hennessey was a Catholic altar boy, an academic prodigy and a chess champion. As an adolescent he wasn't any of these things. In fact Hennessey was 'asked to leave' school. This would have pleased him enormously had he not then had to attend another school in order to gain entry to university. At university he duly spent a few years studying the NME and chasing women or, as it is also known, acquiring an Arts degree. He then spent the nineties in journalism, and once found himself carrying an AK-47 for two days on the Thai-Burma border, an experience he described at the time as "...revelatory, life-altering and oh God I so wish there was somebody I could shoot!..." He later wrote 'a protest letter' to SLORC, the brick-thick Government of Burma, accusing them of cowardice for not showing up for a scrap while he was armed. Fortunately, his wife is a psychotherapist. Perfectly in tune with the early twenty-first century, Hennessey believes dueling should be legalized; hunting with horses and hounds should be allowed and, indeed, encouraged with politicians as prey (released into the woods on Saturday nights in time for a live TV show); he believes that Facebook and Twitter rot the soul by way of self-aggrandizement and tedious information of dubious veracity; Brussels should be nuked; children get far too much school, and school was cooked up in Dante's Ninth Circle of Hell anyway; and Sergeant Pepper is a wildly over-rated album. His heroes are also very fashionable. He believes Horace had a golden mind; Tacitus was silver-tongued; Daniel Defoe was a social-climbing, grasping, duplicitous bastard, and yet somehow a great guy; GK Chesterton was a moral giant; Neil Hannon is up there with George Gershwin; Julian of Norwich, Mikhail Lermontov, William Wordsworth, Dante Alighieri, Gabriel FaurÃ© and Jean Sibelius all sit on the right side of God; and Kate Bush should make more records. [In the picture I am the big one; the one who looks "cheaply dressed and sun-fried even in the darkness," according to my wife. I have no idea why the other one, my oldest child, looks as if a smiling alien has manifested before him, but I like his expression. We were en route to a midnight swim in France and, apropos father-son stuff, the photo was taken by actor/writer Matthew Zajac; his award-winning play, The Tailor of Inverness, invokes the brutal ghost of history with Zajac - of Polish heritage - dramatizing the real-life discovery that his beloved father had fought for both the Nazis and the Soviets.] This is becoming preposterously long for a quick biog. However, since the author does not have a website or blog, and rarely partakes in social media... The following is in response to the people who enquired, via Amazon, about Hennessey's career in journalism, especially the chap who recalled a fashion parody about the balaclava ("as modeled by the IRA"):- At Scotland on Sunday newspaper, Hennessey was part of the editorial team which twice won British Newspaper of the Year, and he was Foreign Editor of the Year on a separate occasion. Hennessey was nominated for a few writing awards, but won none. And other journalistic highlights are even more ambivalent... When writing for The Independent newspaper he was brought to the attention of the Press Complaints Commission, though they eventually threw out the complaint. However, he was successfully sued by Club 18-30 for slurring their good name (!) in The Scotsman newspaper. While reporting on a cult (White Brotherhood) in Ukraine for The Times Magazine, Hennessey attempted to join the cult which wouldn't have him. However, they did offer to smash his head in on the basis that he was a spy, which was only half true. In fact Hennessey was mildly infatuated with the cult leader, Marina Tsvygun. (The little minx was the daughter of God, allegedly.) He was again accused of being a spy in remote, northern Russia, where a Stalinist tub-thumper imprisoned him for a few hours. Striking a symbolic blow for the capitalist West, Hennessey bravely bribed his way out. The accusations of spying were ironic since, in Moscow, Hennessey had been courted by the FSB (successors of the KGB). They refused to believe that a journalist could be as far removed from power and influence as Hennessey most definitely was. The all-time record for most letters of complaint in Scotland on Sunday newspaper was achieved by Hennessey, for a feature about a Scottish Nationalist Party Conference. One lone voice did defend him, on the Mencken principle that "journalist is to politician as dog is to lamp-post." And on the less wholesome but interesting principle: "Party apparatchiks who write letters to newspapers are all mindless scum who should die." Most heroically, on behalf of The Observer newspaper, Hennessey once stayed awake throughout an entire U2 concert. He still has nightmares.

In November 2011, I started â€œA Bear on Booksâ€, a blog dedicated to reviews of books from the M/M genre that touched me in some way. My goal is to highlight the wonderful writers and stories in the genre in a positive and supportive manner. For more information on the wonderful writers with whom I collaborated, please visit www.rainingmenamen.blogspot.com. For more information on my blog, please visit www.tom-webb.blogspot.com. Andâ€¦watch for my first novel â€“ â€œSecond Chancesâ€. Coming this fall from Dreamspinner Press. To reach me, please email AuthorTAWebb@aol.com, or visit me on Facebook.

Author bio: Life is essentially what you make of it and I have found writing fiction is not only challenging, it can be a lot of fun (and a lot of work!) I write in an adult vein and I am neither worried about sacred cows nor do I shy away from the dark side of homo sapiens. I have worn a lot of hats over the years and I like to think each new experience has something to teach as you grow and flourish from the input. I currently live in SW Florida with a wife and two amusing cats.

Author bio: What can I say about myself? I am a pretty simple person. I like horror, comedy, and science -fiction films. My favorite color is green. My favorite food is chocolate chip cookies for which I suffer for greatly. I am a stay-at-home wife and mother, and I work hard all day because of it. In my spare time I like gardening, reading, and WRITING! Currently I have two self-published novels. They are called Awakened Desires and Dangerous Desires and if erotic vampire romance is your thing, please, oh please, buy my e-books on Smashwords, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or wherever else you happen to find them. I donâ€™t plan to only write within this genre, though, because I find I have a lot of different stories running around in my head, and once I put pen to paper, they flesh out in even more different ways. Please visit my wordpress site www.klynneduvall.wordpress.com where you'll find a hodgepodge of different stories and ideas that I like to share them with my readers. Hopefully you guys will tell others what a great author I am. If you like what you see here and want to connect with me, just remember I donâ€™t respond to emails. I get too much spam to know whoâ€™s who but you can search for me on Facebook and I wonâ€™t hesitate to say hello!

Author bio: The Honeypot Series is my little experiment, a hodge podge of erotica. I like to think I bring my background in literary fiction to the medium, but as you read it you'll see I'm not afraid to get down and dirty... and perhaps more importantly, trashy and fun. ABOUT: I'm an author of taboo and steamy erotica with a submission and domination slant. I try to make each story as different as possible, dabbling in various sub-categories to keep it exciting. I'm 28, bisexual, unmarried and live to write. A hopeless outsider who never thought I'd be self-publishing erotica. For comments or questions, requests or errors, I'm at: SoniaGRobinson@gmail.com
