I hope you and your family are well and safe in this difficult time. Please adhere to the CDC social distancing protocols. My wife and I are isolating ourselves, especially because we are in our 60s. We only go out to the grocery store after ordering online. We drive up, they put them in the trunk and we drive off. We don't open the windows. When we get home, we disinfect the items.
Thank goodness for Facebook and Skype. They help us stay connected to our family.

On Thursday, March 19th, I finished the first draft of the newest Sgt. Dunn novel, #13. Today, I completed the first edit and sent it to my famous FIRST READERS. As for a release date, I'm hoping for late April, but that's dependent on many factors, not all of which are writing related. You can track my editing progress in the upper left of this blog.
Take care and be safe.
Title Reveal!
Bold Rescue
The Battle of the Bulge is
raging. The good news is the weather improved and the Allies’ air superiority
comes back into play. The Americans have fought their way back, shrinking the
bulge, but at a terrible price. The Germans, however, are resupplying the
southern portion of their front line by convoys at night, when the Allied air
power can’t touch them.
U.S. Army Ranger Master
Sergeant Tom Dunn and his squad of deadly Rangers are assigned to parachute
into Germany and destroy the last bridge available to Germans in that area.
Getting in isn’t the problem, escaping through the porous front line is.
British Army Commando
Sergeant Major Malcolm Saunders leads his men in a raid on a lighthouse in
Denmark that is used by the Germans to guide their supply convoys. Having seen
the same lighthouse on the previous mission to Sweden, Saunders is happy to go
back and attempt to ruin it for the Germans.
Meanwhile, in Bologna,
Italy, a twelve-year-old Jewish boy named Benjamin struggles to care for four
younger Jewish children. All five are hiding from the Germans following the
deportation of their parents to Auschwitz a year ago.
With the advance of the
Allied Armies in Italy halted due to the winter, Italian partisans take on a
more and more important role. In a joint mission, Dunn and Saunders take their
men to the Apennines Mountains northwest of Bologna to train an entire company
of partisans. Horrifying news from Bologna arrives at the partisans’ encampment:
the Gestapo is rounding up the last of the Jews in the city. Next stop
by train: Auschwitz. Working together, Dunn, Saunders, and the partisans’
leaders plan a bold rescue. Can they stop the train to Auschwitz and rescue the
Jews aboard?
In book thirteen of his
WWII action thrillers, Munsterman reminds us of his masterful blending of
real-life Nazi operations with fiction giving the reader an action-packed story in a
non-stop page-turning pace. In Bold Rescue, he tackles just a small part of the
single most horrifying event in WWII, the extermination of Jews in Europe, and
shows us what men of integrity, and who care can do.
