Cover reveal for my BRAND NEW series out in October 2026.

Where has the time gone? I’ve turned around and realised it’s been over six months since I’ve been in touch. Have I been slacking off? Actually, no I don’t think I have.

Here’s a quick update on how I’ve been keeping busy:

 In June, to coincide with the anniversary of D-Day, THE HUNTERS AND THE WRATH was published. It is Book 7 in the Jox McNabb series and sees our Jox take part in the greatest amphibious operation in history, flying Hawker Typhoons and Tempests, the dreaded Jabos most feared by the German in Normandy. His new Wing must then contend with the Führer’s wrath, devastating V-1 Doodlebugs targeting southern England. For a flavour of what to expect check out this little film: https://youtu.be/Gbw7XJepNJY

It’s doing quite well, achieving almost 500 ratings in only two months. Thank you everyone for your support. It has almost overtaken its ‘cousin’ Book 6 – THE ABBEY AND THE ABBEY. Those of you who know my writing, know how strongly I feel about the often overlooked fighters in Italy, the ‘D-Day Dodgers’. It seems that the interest in D-Day itself continues to pack a more powerful punch in the collective memory. I can’t really complain, having written books about both, but if like me, you feel the boys in Italy deserve their moment in the spotlight, please check out my three Italian campaign Jox adventures. The last THE RAPIDS AND THE ABBEY, which tells the story the Volturno, the Rapido, Anzio and Monte Cassino.

You can see details of all my books on www.patricklarsimont.com and https://author.to/PatrickLarsimont Jox will be back in 2027.

Jox McNabb's very long war - so far!

In other exciting news, I now have a second publisher for whom I am writing a brand new series called THE DEVIL’S BRIGADE. It tells the story of Damien Mahoun and the 1^st Special Service Force, a remarkable band of warriors and the forefathers of North American special forces. The first in the series is published on the 21 October 2026 and is currently available to pre-order. Check it out, really, it’s going to be epic. https://mybook.to/TheDevilsBrigade 

This is what I imagine Damien Mahoun looks like.

If you'd like a copy of this month's FREE offering of my writing, please sign up for my author newsletter. It’s called A BRAW MOONLICHT NICHT and is a short story about a bomber crew and a very special young pilot. I hope you enjoy it.

Wishing you a wonderful rest of the summer through this endless heatwave and hope you keep well and safe and. Until the next time, thanks for the support and best wishes to all.

‘Jox away…’

And I guess I now need another strapline, so how about: ‘ Where the hell is Dam Mahoun?’
