On 19 June 1940, the Welsh city of #Cardiff sounded its air raid warning for the first time. The fear of bombing had brought many #evacuees to #Wales in 1939. Soon, many British towns and cities would suffer the devastating impact of attacks from the air. #WW2 #historicalfictionauthor

On 14 June 1940, Cilieni School on Mynydd Epynt closed. 219 people from the local community were evicted and the mountain taken over by the army. For those displaced, it was the end of the world. I'm drawing upon this #Welshhistory in my next book. #CofiwchEpynt #Wales #WW2 #historicalfictionauthor

81 years since D-Day and my mind turns back to the beaches I visited in Normandy a few years ago. These days people go to sunbathe. Children splash in the waves where once young men faced bullets and shelling. I truly hope that the sacrifice of those who fought for freedom will never be forgotten.
