we haven't heard anything yet from any publisher at the moment so we decided to get a literary agent to help us getting a deal done. thought this was the best way to go and I hope this will help. fingers crossed and updates will be coming soon I hope.

Last week we found ourselves a publisher but sadly my dear friend Clancy passed away yesterday morning in Leonardtown, Maryland. I've placed my thoughts in an open letter to Clancy.
You can find it on our blog:

I am sorry to hear that. Your loss was personal, but his passing has lessened the world. Please keep us informed on the progress for the book.

Did you ever get a literary agent? If so, who?

The literary agents we talked to didn't want to represent us at that time so we decided to keep on representing ourselves.

Last week Monday our publisher asked me for permission to move forward with production for Clancy's story Silver Eagle. And of course it didn't take me long to say yes. We are looking for a release in time for next September's Operation Market Garden 68th anniversary. You will also be able to buy it on Amazon.
I will start promoting the book on my trip to Normandy next June. I am aiming to promote and sell the book during the commemorations in the Netherlands next September, followed hopefully with a book tour in the US. Time will tell what happens.
The publisher and I still need to discuss some points concerning the contract and other bits but I'm positive this will have a good ending. Wish Clancy was here to witness all this but I will do my best to represent him the best way possible.

I'm sorry to read that your friend passed. Another great man lost to us all. A brother firefighter I see as well. If you need any help please let me know. I picked up the torch of my friends book like you are doing for your friend. It took almost 7 years to finally get his book out. Any way I can help you please feel free.

Clancy wasn't a firefighter, one of his brothers in arms who passed away this week was. Guess you mixed it up. His name was John McGrath, he is portrayed in the series Band of Brothers.

Please tell me more about your friend's book, what was it about?

Thank for sharing that. Had a look at the preview. A very big book too, lots of pages.
Authorhouse, heard about them. Nothing positive to be honest. But I hope they did a good job for you.

Thanks for the offer John. Really appreciate it. But I think I'm fine at the moment. Time will tell.
And don't worry about derailing this thread. I think we are still on topic. :)
