COMING SOON - CHARLIE SMITHERS: ADVENTURES DOWNUNDER

I just heard from my publisher: they want to publish the next Charlie Smithers (Adventures Downunder). I was hoping they would, but what I didn't expect was for it to happen so soon! Heck, I only sent them the manuscript last month; I wasn't expecting to hear from them until late in December, or more likely January, or February!

So anyway, I'm pretty happy!

And Another Great Review For "Adventures in India!"

Thank you All Things Book, for reading and reviewing BOTH books (so far) of the Charlie Smithers Collection!

4.0 out of 5 stars An exciting tale March 30, 2015
Format:Kindle Edition
4 Stars

An exciting tale taking place in India. With plenty of twists and turns to keep things interesting, this story will keep you turning the page. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the countryside and people. Set in 1863, Mr. Lovatt has tried to maintain some historical accuracy while writing.

This story has great character interaction, and an exciting plot. I liked most of the characters, especially Doctor Simpson and Cheeboo.

Two More Great Reviews For "The Adventures of Charlie Smithers"!

Thank you Kimberly and All Things Book!

This book is outside of my normal genre of reading, but came across it through a book club. I was hooked from the first few pages. By the time I was a third of the way through I was completely invested. When I came to the end I was disappointed that it was over.
The lead character is the Forrest Gump of his era in history. He stumbles on amazing discoveries and true love during his adventures in this book.
The characters are rich and three dimensional. Easy to get lost in. The scenery is amazingly vivid and well written. I would recommend this to any who likes a little adventure in their reading. Loved it!

This book hooked me from the start. Great character interaction and a plot full of riveting twists and turns. A great job of accuracy with the time periods: events, culture, geography, and demographics. This book would make a great movie. With a humorous and deeply tragic storyline, I feel people of all ages would enjoy this story. I am even recommending it to my son's high school librarian.

The only issue I have with this book, is the cover doesn't do the story justice.

The Adventures of Charlie Smithers - A Sensational Review!

Thank you, Randy. For a first time reviewer, you done good - damn good, actually...
Also, I should mention here that book three, "Charlie Smithers: Adventures Downunder," is in the works, I just submitted the manuscript this morning.
One last thing, I can remember being devastated seven years ago, when I heard of the death of my idol, George MacDonald Fraser. With that in mind, perhaps you can better understand how I feel when I find myself compared to him today, not at all unfavourably.

I've never written a review of a book before, but I'm an avid reader. I'm currently reading the 2nd Charlie Smithers book and can't put it down. But, I'm writing about "The Adventures of Charlie Smithers Book 1" today. CW Lovatt is the closest thing to George MacDonald Fraser that I've come across and believe me, I've been looking and reading what I can find. CW has a style that is his own that reminds one of GMF and the Flashman character, but doesn't at all make you feel like you are reading a Flashman book. Charlie is a man of principle and compassion and not the "cad' that we all came to love in the Flashman series, but a man of his own, There's no need to go into the story as the many review about this book already have, but please do read this great book and be glad that you have another to read immediately after Book 1.
