‘It has been an epic three year journey to bring this heart-rending wartime love story to readers. I don’t want to give too much away, but realising the world of Stephen and Danny has been a labour of love, from years of meticulous research to crafting the central relationship and bringing to life the camaraderie, passion and horror of a romance flowering in the shadow of the Battle of the Somme. All I can say is – get ready to have your heart broken and then mended by a story inspired by the lives of real gay soldiers who served and sacrificed everything’ |
