About the 10/19 Update

Hello Reader, Fan, and Follower, I thank you for stopping by. I hope, for those of you that purchased OCCUPIED BERLIN: Doughboy City before October 19, 2013 you received your notice and upload the update to you Kindle device, app, or desktop program. If not, don't worry it is not too late to do so. If you have already updated the story and have read it, I would really like your feedback. I really want to know if you like it, hate it, don't care about it, or ????

Seriously, I want your feedback otherwise I will follow that old saying of "No News Is Good News" and that I can deal with.

Now about the update. Here are few the things that I did:

1. Modified the book cover
2. Added two new chapters. One chapter (#3) introduces Doughboy City to the reader and the second chapter (#4) lays down the foundation for the upcoming action and you are introduced to McNair Barracks the home of the protagonist and antagonist of the story.

Company A, 6th Battalion, 502nd Infantry, Berlin Brigade at McNair Barracks

As I mentioned there were be a big chapter update just before we really get into the holiday season. I anticipate about 5 or more chapters to be uploaded for another update. Then after the first of the year I will upload the remainder of the book.

Here is a link to the wikipedia page for my former home away from home; McNAIR BARRACKS (click here)

Remember, I want to know what you think of the story so far.

ABOUT OCCUPIED BERLIN: DOUGHBOY CITY
DOUGHBOY CITY is the first work of fiction for author, David G. Guerra. He has previously published "The Walking Leader" and is working on the next book in his Business Leadership trilogy of books, "Great To Follow" with  "We The Team" as the last book.

About Comardes Anatoly and Yuri

I started writing "Doughboy City" back in November of 2011 as part of the National Novel Writing Month project or NANOWRIMO.  NANOWRIMO has become an annual event in which would-be authors write every day for one month straight at least 1000 words a day.  The result is, ideally, a novel of 30,000 words is written and ready for editing.
Well, I did not get to 30,000 words but I got close and in doing so I have the story along with a solid outline and the core cast of characters.  It was not until I came back and re-visited the story that I decided it was time to finish "Doughboy City".

Now I could have started with the original beginning but would have left too many holes in the storyline that needed to be filled.  Therefore, I took the chronological approach and decided to start in 1945.

I wanted to explain not just what was happening but how fast things were happening and how certain things happen to be at the right place at the right time.

Thus Anatoly and Yuri were born.  Now, I am more than sure there were at least one Anatoly and one Yuri in the Soviet Red Army in the last days of World War II.  However, I cannot verify if any were actually assigned to the specific mortar unit mentioned in the story.  The story called for these two to guide us down this path and they needed names.

Now, these two may or may not play any further role in the story.  However, I would not count them out in any of the stories left to be told.  The occupation of Berlin lasted quite a long time so rest assured that leaves the door wide open, heck; it leaves it wide open for all the characters. This applies to the living and dead.

Now, do not take this as something that is written in stone but I will leave all the options on the table.  Let us just call it the author's prerogative.

However, one thing is certain in all future stories look for all members of the Army of Occupation to be mentioned. They may even play a role or two (or more) in the upcoming storylines.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.  I truly appreciate it and I really appreciate you.
-David Guerra

Book #1: Doughboy City

The first book in the OCCUPIED BERLIN: Tales from Freedon's Outpost series is DOUGHBOY CITY.

Book Description:
During the Allied Occupation of Berlin (1945-1994) the US soldiers needed a place to hone their skills and prepare for when the Soviets and the Warsaw Pact moved towards making Khrushchev's Ultimatum a reality. Doughboy City was where they went to train and practice their soldier skills.

Doughboy City was a mock city with its own subway station and city hall. As with any training situation there will be accidents and Doughboy City had its fair share of accidents over its brief history. However, one foggy morning the training turns deadly. The military called it a horrible accident but one Soldier knows it was not but cannot prove who did it. He accuses the most logical person but accusing and proving are two different things. That is until an unlikely duo changes everything for everyone.

All this takes place in the days before the world would change forever. Then again, in Berlin change is an everyday occurrence.

Doughboy City is published exclusively for the Kindle ebook and sells for $0.99.
This first release contains Chapters 1 & 2 with subsequent chapters to follow.


***IMPORTANT: All updates will be made to this title until all chapters are added and the book is complete. By the time it is all said an done you will have purchased the entire book for $0.99 ***

You can order your copy and get it at early bird pricing from Amazon.com: OCCUPIED BERLIN: Stories from Freedom's Outpost (Book 1: Doughboy City)

Welcome to the Official Blog of Occupied Berlin (Tales from Freedom's Outpost)

Welcome to the Official Blog of Occupied Berlin (Tales from Freedom's Outpost)

This blog will chronicle the activities behind this new project I have undertaken. I have started writing a series of FICTION stories set during the Occupation of Berlin from 1945 to 1990 by the World War II Victorious Allies (French, British, Soviet, and U.S.).

The stories themselves will be individual books to the series. The stories will also be set during key dates and event during the history of  post-War Berlin. Basically, I will use the Cold War as a background and on occasion the Cold War will be front and center in the storyline, I mean it is Berlin we are talking about.

Please enjoy, ask questions, and please I beg you to provide feedback. How else will I know how I am doing.

Thank you,
David G. Guerra
