. . . . of Hope and Glory

By R. Jay

After a long absence, Chris Carter returns home to a town he barely recognises. Already targeted by local law enforcement, he is thrust into a contentious and spiralling battle to combat a growing threat to all that he holds dear; family, friends and national identity. Under the banner of the newly formed 'English Front Line', he and the young men of Holtingham vow to defend their culture and country against the amassed forces of Islamic extremism and the self-serving, politically-correct lobbyists. The escalation of murder and a Jihadist planned, ultimate terrorist-strike at the heart and soul of England, demands a swift, merciless reaction and the greatest of sacrifice, if two thousand years of proud history are not to be swept away.
Though a tale of fiction, ' .... of Hope and Glory ' is based on the stark facts of present day Britain and the very uncertain and fraught future she faces.

I hail from the UK but currently live on the Algarve, Portugal, seduced by hot sunshine and long golden beaches. It's a hard life but somebody has to do it ! Originaly from Essex, I moved from the London suburbs to further along the Thames estuary then on to a remote little village on the east coast in an old, haunted farmhouse. On an impulse our next home was on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, a location which is as inspirational for any writer as you could hope for. I have had even more occupations than I have had homes, (good material for a writer): a law agency researcher, high-rise painter, Fireman, faux paint-effects specialist to name a few - oh and author of course. Along the way I have encountered some interesting characters and situations; a rich fund of material which I invariably incorporate into my stories. Enjoy !
