Operation Doodlebug
Operation Doodlebug is my first middle-grade prose novel. It will be published by Piccadilly Press in paperback in November 2026. It’s spring 1944 and Stan’s father bravely enlists for D-Day, swearing he’ll return safely.
When he’s reported ‘missing, presumed dead’, Stan refuses to believe it. As the doodlebugs start to fall on Croydon, could a letter hidden in a bomb hold the proof his father is still alive?
Evacuation gives Stan and his friends the chance to deliver the letter and reveal the truth... discovering in the process what bravery really means.
