I've recently finished writing the biography of 5 Commando's Larry Stephens and now I need to demonstrate to publishers that there will be an interest in the book. If you're on Twitter, please would you do me a favour and follow @lsggbg - the account I've set up in his name? He will follow you back! This is the direct link: https://twitter.com/lsggbg
After serving with 5 Commando, Larry had a post-war career as a scriptwriter and wrote for the Goon Show, The Army Game, Tony Hancock and other leading personalities of the 1950s.
Many thanks,
Julie

I will certainly buy a copy.
Have you heard of self publishing ? Apparently it works for some.
