Yes, I know Christmas is still a month and a half away, but since I like to be prepared when it comes to certain holiday traditions - like sending Christmas cards - I had to share this with all of you.
A friend on Twitter designed some WW2-themed Christmas cards. They are fun, lighthearted, and full of good cheer! I love them.
If you'd like to see what they look like AND maybe might like to order some, visit her blog here:

POWs
As many of you know, I'm under contract with The History Press to write a book on the POW camps in Nebraska during World War II. I'm happy to say that I'm making good progress with it. It was hard at first because although I've written nonfiction articles and an MA thesis, I've never tackled a book-length nonfiction project. Organizing it and figuring out where everything is supposed to go has been my biggest obstacle. But I've slowly worked my way through it and am (hopefully) on a roll.
This means, though, that I haven't been doing much with the novel. Sigh. I miss it so. If I have the energy, I hope I can work on both this weekend.
New National WWII Memorial App
Wow. This is pretty cool.
"Discover the WWII Memorial on the National Mall with the first-of-its-kind free WWII Memorial Mobile app available for download on iTunes and Google Play.
The World War II Memorial app enables users to explore the history behind the memorial and the millions of Americans it honors. The app has straightforward navigation with easy-to-use features and breathtaking photography of the Memorial.
Since I haven't been to the memorial yet - or even D.C. except to grab a connecting flight - this is really fun.
Here's hoping you all have a fantastic weekend!

I'm glad you are making progress with the POW book! Do you have a deadline date? I ordered some of your twitter friend's Christmas card. I'm excited to send them out! The WWII Memorial in D.C. is something else. I visited it a few weeks after it was dedicated. The whole experience was quite moving to say the least.
