The 3rd and final book of my WWII Echoes Rising series re-releases on the 25th of this month. As this is the 2nd edition of Comes a Horseman, I’ve got attached to, and had to say goodbye to these characters all over again.

Although this series wasn’t the first I published, Shadowboxing was the first story I wrote that I knew was going to be novel. Although this story wasn’t my first published or republished book or series, it was the first thing I’d written that I knew was going to be a novel. That novel quickly became a three book series, when I realised the story I wanted to tell either needed to be split into a series, or would be one very long book.

These guys have been a part of my life for nearly twenty years and although I’m happy, and feeling a sense of accomplishment getting their story out there again, I’m going to miss them. Much like myself they’ve changed and grown over the years, and are no longer the same as they were when they started on this adventure.

They’ve endured many hardships, lost people they cared about, but through it all they’ve built friendships which have impacted their lives. I figure that’s quite an achievement considering that—apart from Matt and Ken—none of them knew each other before the pieces moved into place leading into their mission into German in 1943.

I suspect—considering the strong personalities of these men—that although Echoes Rising is finished, that they’ll find another way to sneak into my writing. Liang is making noises about sneaking into a 1950s murder mystery I want to write, and Matt and Ken would love a 1950s detective story. Matt already has a blink and you’ll miss it cameo in my Hidden Places series, so watch this space.

After all, these guys are spies, and very practised at getting into places they’re not to be. I’ll miss the 1940s and WWII as well. I’ve learnt a lot more than I ever thought I would, so maybe other characters from that period still have stories they want to share. Only time will tell.

Finally, I want to thank the readers who have enjoyed reading about my characters’ exploits in WWII. I’ve loved being able to share this series with you.

Comes a Horseman, the 3rd and final book of my WWII Echoes Rising series is now up for pre-order on Amazon, until it releases on 25th August when it will also go into KU for the first time. It’s also available on Payhip until the 24th August for those of you who prefer epub/not Amazon.

Echoes Rising Book 3

What if those who stand by you are the ones who betray you?

France, 1944

Sometimes the most desperate struggles take place far from the battlefield, and what happens in secret can change the course of history.

Victory is close at hand, but freedom remains frustratingly just beyond the grasp of German physicist Dr Kristopher Lehrer, Resistance fighter Michel, and the remaining members of the team sent by the Allies—Captain Matt Bryant, Sergeant Ken Lowe, and Dr Zhou Liang—as they fight to keep the atomic plans from the Nazis. The team reaches France and connects with members of Michel’s French Resistance cell in Normandy. Allied troops are poised to liberate France, and rescue is supposedly at hand. However, Kristopher is no longer sure the information he carries in his memory is safe with either side.

When Standartenführer Holm and his men finally catch up with their prey, the team is left with few options. With a traitor in their midst, who can they trust? Kristopher must become something he is not in order to save the man he loves. Death is biding his time, and sacrifices must be made for any of them to have the futures they want.

Author’s note: This is the second edition of Comes a Horseman. The first edition was released by another publishing house. This story has been re-edited, and uses UK spelling to reflect its setting.
