Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Link Alfred Lewis (Hard-Earned Luck, page 3) has firsthand knowledge of storms at sea, for he was in the Merchant Marine during the recent war. He visited "most of the war theatres, saw a little action with the enemy, but much more with the elements." Born in Boston, but reared in Los Angeles, he attended the University of California with what he calls "vague ideas of being a psychology professor." Instead,´however, lie did a long stretch in the Mojave Desert for a construction company. Now lie devotes full time to writing, and this year will sec his first book. Treasure in the Andes, published. John Crouse (Battle Without Blood, page 13) is one of the army of veterans who left the foxholes and the pup tents for a trailer on a college campus, in the pursuit of higher education. His choice was Pennsylvania State College, from which lie was graduated last month. His Army service during the war totaled four years, almost three of which were overseas. He has other published work to his credit, and since his hobby-beside sports-is writing of all kinds, you may be sure the list will grow. James L. Harte (That Free Men Shall Stand, page 17) began his literary career at the tender age of eight, as editor of a weekly newspaper page for children. After graduation from school he became a sports reporter and has since done newspaper and magazine work of every type. He has written four books: An Intimate Biography of Charles Dickens, This Is Upton Sinclair, The Amazing Story of James J. Brad-dock, and The Abbe of Abbey Down. Mr. Harte. as he himself relates, "began World War II service as just another infantryman. The Army powers-that-be, however, discovered my writing background and I was immediately put to such work - edited camp newspapers in Texas and Arkansas and then served in the field as a speaker and writer with the Information & Education Service I still get a ´big kick´ out of the fact that during my I & E work I was the ghost writer of speeches for one of our famous generals - speeches that occasioned much favorable comment in behalf of the General!" Mr Harte has recently resigned from his position with the Washington Post in order to devote full time to growing freelance-demands. Elizabeth Hinkle (Your House Is Different, page 21) relates that she was supplied with a typewriter by her parents several years ago "to enable me to bang away at something when I feel like banging, which is quite often." She is a registered nurse who finds time for writing between sessions of private nursing duty and keeping up with regular household chores. The Hinkles live in the country "in an old schoolhouse with a famed potbellied stove and lots of open countryside for walks with the boy (her six-year-old), swimming, sledding and being snowed in." He helps her with the banging on the typewriter and is her "best critic." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
