A Marine with a flair for romance, UK-based Eddie Thompkins III is one of my favorite indie talents.  He has authored five books, covering a wide range of issues concerning war, world, and human condition.  His novels are inspired by real life events, and include authentic eyewitness accounts of US military operations, genuine accounts of personal relationships, and free-spirited romance, even if it results in long lasting bodily injury.

Eddie Thompkins is also a specialist in promoting his books.  His insight and experiences are invaluable for all indie authors.

Enjoy.
