April 22 will be the seventieth anniversary of 441 prisoners of war (365 British and 76 American) starting a cross-country march from a prison in Rangoon, Burma. As Allied forces approached, the Japanese were intent on shipping their POWs to Japan. One of the POWs was my uncle who would gain his freedom three days later following seventeen months of enslavement.
In honor of the heroics of these men, my inspirational novel of an American Airman’s enslavement as a Japanese Prisoner of War will begin a seven day Kindle 51% discount special at $1.99 (FREE for Kindle Unlimited). BREAKING LIBERATOR’S SHACKLES http://amazon.com/dp/B00UD6040C, masking history in fiction, provides an accounting of the crew of an American B-24 Bomber, tail number 273312, that went down in a Burma marsh in November of 1944.
HALF OF THE ROYALTIES EARNED DURING THIS SPECIAL ARE EARMARKED FOR DONATION TO THE WOUNDED WARRIORS’ PROJECT. Also half of the royalties for sales of my other novel, THE BLANKET HILL INSURGENCY http://amazon.com/dp/B00UAO66WW during the special will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. These donations apply to all Kindle and paperback copies sold through Amazon.
