I just submitted the first chapter of the next story in the Thomas Grey saga. Thomas Grey and His Friends follows Thomas Grey and The Year Without Summer and sees our hero 'on the beach' and on half-pay.
"With the year 1818 starting, Thomas expects better times for his family and lands. Yet, the year starts with a tragedy, and the following events have him meet boyhood friends but also encounter underhanded enemies. In the end, there are four weddings and a funeral, but there are also new adventures in the offing."
He reconnects with his boyhood friend Robert Bryce, but also with Alice Houghton, his make-believe fiancée. He has to thwart an underhanded plot against his person, but he can also enjoy time with Mirabel and his growing family.
The complete book is already available at Bookapy, along with Thomas Grey & The Hundred Days (with an additional chapter of his exploits of the French coast), Thomas Grey and The Year Without Summer (revised and reedited), and the next novella, Thomas Grey & The Smugglers. All four novellas can be purchased as a collection at a reduced price.
My sincere thanks to Old Rotorhead, my longtime editor, for cleaning up typos, the syntax and factual errors! As always, if you still detect typos or glitches, let me know, and I'll fix them in a timely manner.
