Hello all,
I live in the East Midlands region of the UK. 'Hellhound' is my second published book. The first, Trolling Jemma Harvey' was published in 2016 and is available as an e-book on Amazon right now.
The idea for 'Hellhound, Take Me Home' gradually formulated in my mind after reading Bill Bryson's 'Down Under' (which is one of the best books I've ever read, definitely recommend it!)
In this, he describes an incident that occurred in Australia during World War II known as the Cowra breakout. A large group of Japanese POW's escaped from their prison camp and fled into the Australian bush. Eventually, all of the escapees were re-captured. However, in my mind I had the thoughts of 'What if one of them was never captured?, What if one of them was taken in by an Australian woman? And what if her husband is already a prisoner of the Japanese?
I built on the possibilities these questions raised, added various strands to it as I went along and the end result is the book now available on Amazon.
Best wishes,
Stu Lane
