With agents stating that they loved my writing style and passion, and find the subject intriguing, and with almost 500 copies sold each month, and still growing, complete with 5/5 reviews, and reviewers clearly stating that I’m better than their previous favourite authors, such as Bernard Cornwell, I’m still turned down, time and again by agents.

Why?
Because I write about the English in a positive light, and promote a positive English identity and don’t pander to PC and multi-culturalism to make a few $$$.
I shed light upon the truth, I invoke questions, and free thinking. My characters are real men, not poncy PC robots that belong in a sheep pen, being herded by the lefties. I make the reader proud of their past, and the achievements of their ancestors. Because I inform the reader how the English stood up for themselves and overcame the British elite to help forge a new home in Britain, where the English were free, where English culture thrived. A place where the English were free to sing of their glorious ancestors and not be bullied into submission by so-called anti-facists who go around throwing bottles at English children for waving St George’s flag in the street.

Thanks to the wonderful internet (invented by an Englishman, no less), I have freedom to write, freedom to think for myself, and freedom to educate my fellow man on real history, not the lies taught on the BBC and throughout the media.

I have claimed success without need of an agent or publisher, and I did it by speaking the truth, and without conforming to society, I did it without selling my soul, like some. It’s the agents and publishers who’ve missed out, not me, not the public, for the sheep are throwing off their woollen coats, jumping the fence and running free with the wolves in the forest!

Well done to you, Swaffington. People who will buy your books will be the sort who can see through all the PC bullshit. Those who are not so clued up in that regard will soon find our where you're coming from! Hopefully it will be a refreshing change for them to read something that is written from the heart, free from Cornwell-inspired nonsense. If you were lucky enough to be approached by film-makers with an eye to dramatising your works then I hope you apply strict control as to how your work would be presented, with any attempt to change it to having a PC agenda firmly rebuffed.

If I'm lucky enough for that, I'll make damn sure they use white people, white dragon flags, with a pro-Englisc sentiment, with no PC bollocks that would just insult the viewers. I wouldnt be able to sleep at night knowing in the movie that Hengist and Horsa are played by Lenny Henry and Gok Won, putting on bad irish accents, and Offa the Brave played by a one-armed scrawny Jew, with a black wife and chinese son with homosexual tendencies, and a love for all things foreign whilst despising the evil Englisc brutes who are bullying those poor defencless Africans and Arabs running around what would become England.

I write for the Englisc, for my people, my kin, for the cause, not for the mighty dollar.
I believe I'm doing well because I dont insult the reader with PC BS and I dont pander to the left, or to the right for that matter. I just tell it like it was. I honour my ancestors, and I give them a voice and see through their eyes, and I believe folk appreciate it and will continue to support me.

Good on you Swaffington. It seems similar to pushing the English cause into government departments, quangos and 'independent' bodies. It is not always successful, but success can be achieved and there are always other paths to choose.

I have been refused by publishers in the past, a number of whom stated that it was the subject matter. Others who work for publishers, explained they would like to help but they were not in a personal position to do so.

I was unaware that you were a writer of Anglo-Saxon history, Swaffington, needless to say I'm on the case to finding me copy of your books! You write from fact and the heart, not for greed and who could ask for more in a writer?

It's early days yet, but I hope this is just the start of a promising venture.
