Oss Sepals

Hello, I am a Norwegian writer on WWII. My first book will be out late April 2008. Unfortunately just in my language. We might try to sell the book to a foreign publisher, but that will be further down the road from now.
I am 37 yrs old, married and I have 3 children. I originally come from the Narvik area, but now I live at the very top of Norway (Finnmark)
Any questions? Send me a PM

Good luck with the book, Sepals, I hope it does well. Feel free to promote it here with photos etc.

I have a couple of friends in Norway who I chat with on email regularly. Great guys and a beautiful country. Is there much interest in the history of the war in your country?

Interest

The book will be out in the end of April. Without any promotion of any kind I have sold about 130 books to date. I am pretty satisfied with that. The first ed will be 500 copies then we will see

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
