Joys of editing
I'm working on edit #3 of the new Sgt. Dunn Novel, SS Assassins. Found a few things that were the result of the length of time it takes to write a book. You write something early in the book, and kind of "forget" you did. This can result in saying something else about the same thing.
The best one was in reference to a house. In an earlier chapter I said it was built in the 1500s. Later, I specifically state it was built 41 years ago (which of course, would be 1903). Glad I found it myself. Stayed with 1903 and fixed the early reference.
Now back to work, lad. As Saunders would say.

Sgt. Dunn Novel #12 - Title Reveal UPDATED!
Hello,
again, Sgt. Dunn fans!
I finished the first edit and the
newest Sgt. Dunn Novel (#12) will be on its way to my famous FIRST READERS today!
By the way, something was bothering
me about the first title I revealed to you on July 2nd. So . . . my wife and I
went back to work on it twenty minutes ago. Here’s the result and new title:
I'm hoping for an mid-August release.
Description
The 15th Air Force, based in Italy,
discovers that the Germans have installed a new, high range and extremely
accurate radar system in the Alps right on the flight path the bombers use on
their way deep into Germany. It will provide early warning to the Luftwaffe and
there are hundreds of newly installed flak cannons there as well. U.S. Army
Master Sergeant Tom Dunn and his squad of lethal Rangers are tasked with
destroying the radar site.
Meanwhile, Intelligence learns that
the Germans are using two Swedish flagged cargo ships to refuel and rearm their
U-Boats, which are still running amok in the North Atlantic. British Commando
Sergeant Major Malcolm Saunders and his squad are to travel to the neutral
country, board the ships, and sink them. And, of course, escape.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Winston Churchill agree to meet for a private conference to
detail the rest of the war in Europe, where the Allies are making good progress
against the Germans. They select the Mediterranean island Sardinia because it’s
in American hands after driving off the Germans the year before, so it should
be plenty safe. Or is it?
American Intelligence confirmed
that a sizable, elite German SS unit has secretly landed on the island with
orders to assassinate the president and prime minister. Because it’s too late
to move them from their thought-to-be-secret villa, Dunn and Saunders, having
recently returned from their earlier missions, are suddenly cast into the role
of a head of state protection detail, joining the U.S. Secret Service and
Churchill’s famed bodyguards. Can the two men set up a defense at the villa in
time to save the lives of the two most powerful leaders of the free western
world?
In SS
Assassins, book twelve of the Sgt. Dunn Novel series, Munsterman
masterfully blends history with fiction and provides readers with an
action-packed can’t-put-it-down paced novel.
