If God Will Spare My Life by Mike Lewis
Apprentice solicitor Arthur Nicholas seeks one William Batine James, who stands to inherit a Fishguard farm. He seemingly vanished after emigrating first to Canada and then to the United States in 1871. What Arthur cannot know is that James enlisted in the US Seventh Cavalry at Chica-go.
Mike Lewis hails from the former fishing village of Aberporth, West Wales, where his family have farmed for generations. Having joined a local newspaper straight from school, he proceeded to work as a writer and sub-editor on a number of national titles in London, including "The Guardian" and "The Daily and Sunday Telegraphs". A lifelong rock and pop music fan, in the 1990s he co-authored biographies on Scott Walker and Syd Barrett, of Pink Floyd. Mike later worked as "The Sunday Telegraph" boxing correspondent, covering the Beijing Olympic Games of 2008. Having returned to his native West Wales to raise a family, he stumbled across the story of William James, the West Wales farmer's son who emigrated to the United States and joined the US Seventh Cavalry, while working for the "Fishguard County Echo". Mike subsequently found previously-dndiscovered letters James had sent back to his younger brother from America which form the framework of 'If God Will Spare My Life'...A father-of-five, married to Sue, Mike combines his writing career with helping to run Cardigan Amateur Boxing Club.
