I am reading ghost sniper and enjoying. I have a?. On page 160 wuif is shot and his rifle fall from the tree but on page 183 Cole climbs the tree to retrieve the gun. Who put it back up the tree?
Hi Dale, thank you for catching that … sounds like something that will have to be fixed in a future edition!
Thank you so much for organizing and hosting the conference in Chesapeake City. I am relatively new to attending such conferences and was very impressed with the presenters. I learned a lot and had fun doing it in the congenial group gathered there.
Carol, so glad that you found the conference rewarding. I hope that our group found some fresh inspiration … I know that I did! Please stay tuned to see if we can set this up again for next year 🙂
Just finished Red Sniper I wish you would finish up the story more…
Did the Russian nurse go back with the Senators Son?
What happen to the Russian soldier gate guard ?
I have enjoyed all the books so and will start the Korean sniper book today (10/09/21)
Thanks for reading, Michael! Much appreciated and that makes my day. As for your questions, I don’t think things turn out well for the poor guard. The nurse is a good question. Maybe that is a follow-up story someday? I appreciate you pointing these out because a story always has a lot of dangling threads to tie off. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the Korean adventures.

His Cousin in the Pacific (the book) was great keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next book in the series
Just wondering. Are you British? I am about half way through “Ghost Sniper”. The American soldiers keep referring to the Germans as “jerries”. That is predominantly a British term for the Germans. Americans normally would use the term “kraut”. Every time I read the term “jerries” I think a British soldier is speaking. It’s confusing and takes away from being able to concentrate on the story line.
Thank you for your note, John. That’s an interesting observation. Back in the ’90s, I interviewed many (US) D-Day veterans and they definitely used both terms interchangeably. I wonder if that’s something that changed over time? In any case, thank you for reading and I hope the term doesn’t sidetrack you too much from enjoying the stories. Best, David
