The penultimate volume about Jim Faulkner pursuing a career in khaki, and all the trials and tribulations which befall him along the way.
Have you been following Jim’s progress?
In Part One, Innocence and Inebriation, 17-year-old Jim Faulkner leaves home to offer himself to the service of his country.
Part Two, Paths and Progression, our young man finds himself on a rollercoaster ride of education – in life.
When we arrive in Part Three, On and Off the Rails, Jim has volunteered to work in a scenario where variety is a way of life, mainly when at work.
In Part Four, Onwards and Upwards, life has altered so much, but any improvements have been earned using the experiences of what has gone before.
The final episode of Jim’s story is due for publication in late summer/early autumn 2017.
If I were to ask two small favours of my readers, I would ask that you work through the series in order, and please consider leaving reviews, however short.
Thank you, on behalf of Jim.


The book Tom’s chosen to showcase in this guest blog is one I’ve read and I liked it so much that I bought the second in the series as well. Having been married twice to men who have also served in the forces, it was like getting a peep into what really goes on behind the scenes ‘among the boys’. Girls get curious about these things you know.
