Counting down to the launch #bookstoread #newrelease #wwii #history

Wednesday, I was honored to discuss No Average Day: The 24 Hours of October 24, 1944 at The National WWII Museum's Meet the Author event. Watch a replay on America's deadliest day of the war youtube.com/watch?v=x2FzDB… #wwiihistory #bookstoread #newrelease

Shall I call this a “lagniappe”? Spotted this as I strolled along the brick walk beside The National WWII Museum in New Orleans. Tech Sgt Harris is one of the men who perished on October 24 1944 and is mentioned in my book, No Average Day. #wwiihistory #newrelease #bookstoread

Tick Tock. It is just minutes away. #booklaunch #booklaunchparty #bookstoread

Thank you Veterans Breakfast Club! Author Rona Simmons on “No Average Day: The 24 Hours of October 24, 1944” youtube.com/live/Ho-R65WWh… via YouTube

It was sunny and 75 degrees and a Barnes & Noble entry full of family, friends, neighbors, and strangers who are now friends, like the proprietors of New Bern's Bellator Roasting Co pictured here. "Champagne," mini-me chocolates and books. Sold out. #newrelease #booksigningevent

OMG. I started a Substack goneforasoldier.substack.com

For #VeteransDay besides honoring the countless veterans across our country, I'll honor my family's, from WWI, WWII, the Vietnam era, and our "modern" wars Thank you for your service to our country and the ideals for which it stands. #WWI, #WWII, #vietnamwar, #iraqwar, #veterans

Brightening my day with the GI Jive Radio show sponsored by the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. Tell me your feet don't start tapping to a few bars of "Basin Street Blues." But wait, there's more, on Mondays there's "Mail Call" mightyeighth.org/become-a-membe… #WWII

Just announced ... I'll be on WSJS.com live radio with the amazing host, Jeffrey Griffin's "Between the Pages" segment at 8:07 am on January 14, 2025. Yes, of course, you'll get a reminder! #radioshow #booktalk #historymatters #veterans

Honored … the first word that comes to mind after appearing on WW2TV - Paul Woodadge. You can tune in for a replay and any of Paul’s hundreds of other videos from WWII historians. #WWII #wwiihistory #storytelling youtube.com/live/yuZwTRCtd… #wwii #wwiihistory #storytelling

Hoping everyone in the Triad had a great commute this morning. And, of course that your radio was tuned to WSJS for Jeffrey Griffin's Between the Pages segment. We were talking No Average Day for a fast and fun ten minutes! Thank you, Jeffrey! #WorldWarII #bookstoread #veterans

Some say you can’t go home again, but today at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force it was like coming home. We had a full house for sharing the story of October 24, 1944, emphasizing the fallen from the Army Air Forces, of course! #WWII #history #authortalk

Delighted to be in the company of these local authors of American Military History as we prepare to celebrate America’s sesquicentennial and the military conflicts the country had to survive to 250 years. #wilmingtonnc #lowercapefear #militaryhistory #America250 #LocalAuthors
