I am at the tail-end of writing my biography of Henry Coombe-Tennant of Cadoxton, Neath. It will be around 100,000 words in total.
Academic, philosopher, talented pianist, Welsh Guard 1930s+, POW 1940, escapee 1942, SOE agent 1944, MI6 operative late 1950s and Benedictine monk. And a man who was born to a plan formulated by his mother (the redoubtable Winifred Coombe Tennant) and others, that would see him become the New Messiah. That didn’t happen, of course, but Henry nevertheless crammed a huge amount into a very eventful life.
As regards publication, I am expecting some news in February 2020. Hopefully it will be good news but its fingers crossed in the meantime!
I hope that all who read this post have a happy Christmas and a wonderful new year!
