About the Book

A TRUE STORY....Blitz & Pieces is the autobiography of Percy Chattey. He recollects his young life during W.W.II when the Germans were blitzing Britain especially London. He describes in detail the fear of living in a cold damp air raid shelter, night after night, listening to the bombs dropping, the constant noise and shaking of the ground as they explode around where the family lay. He explains about schooling, or lack of it, and the sorrow of sitting next to a friend crying all day because his father was killed that very morning. When the Blitz came to an end then the new horror of Germany's new weapons the VI and VII and how his mother was involved in one of the explosions of these indiscrimate weapons raining down on a civilain population. He tells the reader of leaving school and trying to find work in difficult times in the East End of London. There are plenty of anecdotes of the three and half years he spent in the Army and being recalled for the Suez Crisis in 1956, and after, finding work developing a career and business life. He goes on to describe when he was involved with Members of Parliament and other offices of State as the President of a National Association. All the time writing fondly of his life long friend and wife Jean.
About the Author: Percy's first book was published in hard back in the early eighties, since then he has gone on to write eight more full length novels, including his autobiography detailing as a child the horrors and the terror of being bombed in East London during the Second World War, the title 'Blitz & Pieces' which was voted best in its class at the Summer 2013 Pinnacle Awards. At the same awards, and for the first time it had been accomplished, he also won best Thriller with 'Politically Incorrect' - this was the first time in 29 years one author has won two awards in one session. Percy retired from his architectural practice in Bristol and moved to Spain with his wife Jean in the year 2000, where, besides writing at least three hours every morning they run a holiday home - for visitors to the real Spain in the mountains of the Costa Blanca, where readers of his work are always welcome. Percy is now starting on another novel set in the early fifties which should be available in the spring of 2014. percy@fuentelargo.com www.percychatteybooks.com
