A little bit of news. Brothers in Arms: the collected short stories of Lynn Bryant Volume 1 – the War Stories will be published in July.This is not exactly a new book, but it’s a new venture. As some of you know, for years I’ve been publishing free short stories on this website. I write these for fun, and release them for free as a bit of a thank you to my army of very loyal and hugely engaged readers. The stories cover a wide expanse of time and location and often fill in gaps in the story that I’ve not managed to cover in the books.
I’ve had a lot of requests over the years to publish these stories as a collection and with the help of my brilliant editor, Heather Paisley from Dieudonne Editorial Services, who has done most of the work for me, the first volume will be published on 18th June. That date will have meaning for a lot of you, as the 210th anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Three of the stories in this first collection are connected to the battle.
I’ve decided to publish the stories so far in themes. The first of these are about war and will include not only the Waterloo stories, but tales of the combat on the Coa and the battle of Sorauren. The next volume will be Christmas stories, published in December.
A lot of my readers have already read all of these tales, and I want to be clear that all these stories remain free on my website. This is more of a collectors’ edition. However, for anybody who does decide to buy it or get it on kindle unlimited there is one new story which won’t appear anywhere else.
Brothers in Arms is a short story set during the storming of Ahmednaggur in India in 1803, when Paul van Daan was still a very junior officer, just deciding how much he really hates storming a fortress.
I’d like to thank the creativity of my wonderful husband Richard Dawson for the amazing cover.
