My latest book sales figures

It is that time in the month when Lulu.com sends me the most up-to-date sales figures for my books.


I originally intended to display them as a graph, but as the number of books I have published has risen, the graph has become less and less easy to read ... so this month I have just presented the totals as a table. I have also re-ordered them by type, so the first one is my only attempt at fiction, followed by my two non-fiction Masonic books, and finally my non-fiction wargames and military history books.

The most recent addition is MASTERS AT WAR VOLUME 1. This tells the stories of the members of the Hertfordshire Masters' Lodge No.4090 who either had military careers before the First World War or who took part in that war. They are:
  • Major Herbert Charles Lambert
  • Major (and Doctor) James Henry Gilbertson
  • Fleet Surgeon James Walter Octavius Underhill RN
  • Major James Parsons
  • Lieutenant Henry John Keat
  • Major Edwin Massey Bull
  • Admiral Sir Lionel Halsey GCMG, GCVO, KCIE, CB, ADC
  • Captain Howard John Fisher MacDonald
  • Lieutenant Percy James Proud
  • Captain Arthur Steane Baker
  • Reverend Joseph Moffett OBE
  • Captain (and Doctor) Kenneth John Aveling
  • Corporal Roger Edmund Hodge
  • Temporary Lieutenant Reginald Howard Palmer OBE, RNVR
  • Staff Paymaster Arnold Simon OBE, RNR
  • Major Alexander Woods
  • Private Richard Cordeaux Barnwell
  • Able Seaman Thomas William Norman
  • Captain Edward George Crawley
  • Lieutenant James Henry Truscott
  • Captain John Joseph Valentine Taylor
  • Acting Sergeant Ernest Joseph Davidson MM
  • Sergeant Benjamin Leonard Klemens (Klemantaski)
  • Lance Corporal Arthur Budgen
The most famous of these is Admiral Sir Lionel Halsey, who served as Admiral Jellicoe's 'Captain of the Fleet' at the Battle of Jutland and later served as a Sea Lord. Two of them (Temporary Lieutenant Reginald Howard Palmer and Major Alexander Woods) subsequently served during the Second World War, but I hope to cover that part of their military service in a second volume.
