Running out now. It feels like a lot's happened since our Springsteen book came out... but such happy memories. Still so grateful to @ReneBackstreets for his wonderful photos & buddies such as @wildandinn for getting us through.

Is there a song you just sometimes pop on about three or four times in a row?
One of mine is The Card Cheat by The Clash.
Doing it now.

Two things keep coming up in my podcasts & reviews:
*the courage of train driver Louis Verheggen (oh, how I want this ordinary working man to be properly remembered - come on, civic leaders of Brussels!)
*& the murderous villainy of Prosper Dezitter.
"One dang good book!"
Thank you @BPegged. So glad you enjoyed it!

This is amazing.
The Nazi Ghost Train is the 4th bestselling History & Military book this year in the UK.
Keeping very good company too - mentioned in the same breath as @wmarybeard & @theAliceRoberts for goodness sake! (Two of my TV favourites).

We were delighted to see The Nazi Ghost Train by @gregjlewis is the 4th bestselling History & Military book in the UK this year!
The Bookseller shared this chart showing Greg’s Sunday Times bestseller in the top 5! Huge congrats, Greg, on its ongoing success.

I made this short film a few years ago to pay tribute to some of the people I grew to admire beyond words when writing 'Defying Hitler' with Gordon Thomas.

Emotionally devastating. The final stretch of the album is especially powerful, filled with questions about our own existence and how to live the best possible life—for ourselves, our families, and the people around us.
Those questions run through so much of Bruce’s work, especially on The River. Thanks for sharing this.
This is one of my favorite Springsteen songs. It is so quiet and emotionally devastating and Bruce brings his his dramatic reading to it. I am familiar with the road and the hospital he describes so it makes it even more personal for me if you stay till the end of the video there’s a surprise. @BobTharin I couldn’t wait any longer for you to post it.💙🔥🎶😎

Delved into the archives of US, UK, & Belgium for The Nazi Ghost Train.
E&E, MIS-X, Abwehr, MI5 & SOE files help tell the stories of USAAF, RAF, & resistance heroes.
The SUNDAY TIMES bestseller comes out in the US & Canada on June 2.

Writing about the extraordinary heroes who saved 1400 lives in WW2 was a privilege.
And having The Nazi Ghost Train greeted so warmly made it all worthwhile.
This is for the everyday heroes who could not sit back & let evil triumph.

Wonderful to be with the family & friends of WW2 Lancaster wireless operator John Martin as he celebrated his 104th birthday.
An amazing man & an absolute gent, so loved in his local community.
John narrowly escaped with his life when his aircraft was shot down in 1944.

I’m pretty sure that I’m guilty of doing what most people do & only post good news on my social media. Pictures of sunny scenes, a bit of boasting about work.
So, as it’s the middle of the night and no-one is reading this, here is something for the CARERS out there.

Prince died 10 years ago today on April 21, 2016.
There are no bad Prince stories, but Matt Damon’s story about meeting Prince is a good one. RIP

To help you get up & going here's a selection of photos of Bruce Springsteen jumping around the stage.
These were taken in the 1970s & 1980s, and it's quite an achievement that he remains possibly the greatest live act in the world.

I’ve written millions of words over the yrs. For newspapers, TV, and books.
It started because I read & read like crazy as a kid.
And it's led here: the Sunday Times bestseller list.
What a journey!
(Special thanks to my late dad, Claire B @mirrorbooks & @andrewlownie)
Here is the news confirmed in print 🤩
This week’s Sunday Times bestseller list includes THE NAZI GHOST TRAIN by @gregjlewis! 👏

François Reeve was also transported by 138 Sqn, joining Michael Trotobas’ hugely successful FARMER network in Lille.
It was a mission which would feature astonishing bravery and a legendary raid on a huge railroad yard – but also tragedy and betrayal.

There are many special forces stories in the sabotage, evasion, and adventure of the Nazi Ghost Train.
This is B-24 Liberator pilot Henry Wolcott, of Michigan, who delivered SOE & OSS agents behind the lines before being shot down & going on the run.

Just watched the first episode of 'Bait' with @rizwanahmed over lunch.
One of those where you pause and realise the whole family needs to watch.
Great first episode! Very funny.

I do love the headline the Daily Mirror sub put on my feature about one of the airmen who was on The Nazi Ghost Train.

"...grief, loss, love and memory. Beginning with a conversation between Rosen and his cat Meg, the story follows his experience of losing his son Eddie, and examines how we might find our lost loved ones in the places we shared with them and in the people who knew them."
Where Are You, Eddie? by @MichaelRosenYes & Gill Smith is a beautiful exploration of grief and how those we love are never really gone. We can find them in our memories and remember them in the simple moments of each day. This is a very special book of healing and empathy.
