History by Will

We've begun gathering articles for our proposed magazine piece compilation. 

We've bundled a trio of pieces on the war in Cambodia. The first covers the war from 1970-1975, next an article titled Nixon's War on Cambodia, and finally a piece on the Khmer Rouge. We're going through these an taking out redundancies. As these were originally magazine pieces, we're looking for places to integrate the sidebar sections into the general narrative. Overall this chapter is about 12,000 words.

Next we'll be working on our Norman warfare section. Articles include, How to Fight and Win like a Norman, 1066, William's occupation of England till his death in 1087, and finally the First Crusade.  

Further chapters will follow. For example, the Indo-Pak wars, and some articles we wrote about war in the 1980s. We'll see what else from there.

Don't ask us about dates. This is a side project for afternoon dead time.

Will's Good idea for the week of 9-3-17

I give you Tie Dye Warrior.

Sean Lane is a Marine captain with an advisory group in Vietnam.

This story, written in 2011 was inspired by a summer fling with the Beach Boys. We'd love to turn this into a short story comp. Sean Lane could be doing something during the Cambodian Incursion. We could have another story about Sean in the Easter Offensive. Actually, we'd like to do a story with him knee deep in the Cambodian Civil War and another with him on hand during the scramble to get the hell out of Phnom Pehn in '75. We'd actually take this all the way into the 80's with Sean putzing around Nicaragua with the Contras.

One day, one day.
