Ten Days One Guernsey Summer was the first in the trilogy. It tells the real story of how his grandparents left the Island just before it was invaded by Hitler’s armies in the summer of 1940. To produce a novel based on their story he had to fictionalize the timeline a little, and add the story of a German Pilot, who was involved in the bombing of Guernsey, just before the invasion.
Journey Home and then finally the Battle for Guernsey quickly followed, both complete works of fiction, the latter falling under the genre of Alternative History.
He then turned to his favourite reading genre, science fiction, and started the Warriors of Sol series which has evolved over the years. It has been influenced by his interest in Roman History. Project 75 was the first book, with A New Future following quickly in its wake.
He suspended work on the third book in that series to focus on The Kangaroo Ace.
That book started as a short story for a writing competition for the BBC, but as an indie writer he was not allowed to enter. That drove him to fully develop the idea into a novel. Tony loved the research aspect of The Kangaroo Ace, particularly the idea that a female pilot could have secretly flown in the First World War.
The Witches of Witherwack, River of Blood followed and Book Two in that series, was started just before Christmas 2022. At that time the decision was made to move back to Guernsey. The decision was purely to be with family. Tony’s love for Sunderland has not diminished as can be seen by the way he portrays the area in these books.
Tony has also started a personal memoir called the Chimney Sweeps Apprentice and the third in his science fiction series is well under way.
He was so engrossed with the idea for a DI Karen Dee novel, that he has temporarily dropped everything to focus on the Witches of Witherwack stories which he hopes you will enjoy.
Tony already has an idea for a third story so look out for more adventures from the Witches, in and around Sunderland, and the beautiful Northeast of England.
As well as writing, Tony builds, hosts and maintains websites for businesses and private individuals and during lockdown in 2020 he picked up his paint brushes again. You can see some of his work and links to his other books and his web work on www.tonybrassell.co.ukver menos
