About this ebook
The county of Kent has always been at the forefront of English history. Being close to Continental Europe, invading armies have always threatened Kent's coastline. My book is a historical journey through such threats and invasions. Romans, Vikings, Napoleon's aborted 1805 invasion. Hellfire corner and the threat of Nazi invasion, all are subjects covered in my book. Invicta Tales is a poetic tribute to Kent's contribution to English history. From Chatham Dockyard, built by convict labour, to Royal St Georges golf course steeped in Open history, all have contributed in their own way to making Kent's history a few stitches in England's rich historical tapestry.

I am a 50 year old writer from England. I have a selection of screenplays, stage plays and comedy I shall be posting on Smash words in the future. From action thrillers to Science Fiction, 10 minute plays, to one act plays, I have a vast range of material waiting for conversion to eBooks. Smash words is an excellent channel for a writer's work, it gives the opportunity to get work out there that might struggle to get interest from publishers or film makers in this current recession. The main duty of a writer is to entertain,hopefully something my work manages to do.
