Grey Wolf
|
I've been writing for 30 years or more, ever since it seemed like realistic alternate history to have Roy Jenkins as Prime Minister of an SDP-governed Britain.
I've been a poet for 25 years, and recently published my retrospective anthology, Phoenix, covering this whole period. A lot of what I wrote in the 1980s and 1990s was fantasy or science fiction, and of this corpus I published the novel Beholder this Summer. Most of my more recent works have been in the genre of Alternate History, and I have published a series of essays for aspiring AH writers (How To Write Alternate History), two short stories and a collection of shorts, flash stories and faux articles as Vignettes in Alternate History. I live near Swansea in Wales, UK, but count among my homes such places as Peterborough (where I lived for a long time) and Durness (which caught my heart on a visit)

Götterdämmerung
Alternate History
Promo link Britain has fallen, the Nazi jackboot strides the land. But resistance still holds, and a shaky front in the far North continues to reist every German effort. Such is the starting point for The Wolf in Britain, first of the four short stories that make up this series. Follow the global plot development through A Big Boy Visits Hamburg to Götterdämmerung itself, the Twilight of the Nazis. The story continues in The Fuhrer Legacy, of a German Reich occupied by the Americans, Israeli anti-Nazi hunters, Soviet troops on the border, and underneath the surface the stirrings of a revivalist movement.
