About me

My name is James Kinard, I am a 27 year old from Virginia Beach. I have have been writing since I was eleven; and when I entered high school I really started studying World War 2. Ever since then I have been learning more and more about the war, the reasons that brought on the war, the technology that came from it, etc. I currently live in Tulsa Oklahoma, continually writing more and more. As you can tell I am a writer. The lost generation is my very first book and it will be a series. The next book will be called Turmoil world, under the TLG name of course. Also keep an close eye out for a friend of mines name Raphael Najae, who is a historical fictional writer like myself, that specializes in post communist European studies.

Welcome James,

Look forward to your contributions.

I quite enjoyed the alternate history novel "Fatherland" by Robert Harris however the movie was very poor.

"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:

Thanks guys. Well I wouldn't say that I am that well informed. I'm pretty sure there are dozens of others on this sight that knows more about WW2 then me.

Sir, How is that possible? NO ONE can ever say they know it all, there is always someone better informed...the smartest man I have ever known was a sheep herder from Utah I knew in the Army National Guard...he would go to the library in May, check out dozens of books and read and watch his sheep, and bring the books back in September...he told me once he could reduce numbers to the < 10th power in his head...I believed him when he actually showed me he could...welcome Sir....
