Thomas Helmore (7 May 1811-6 July 1890) was a choirmaster, writer and edited of hymns and carols. Helmore's brother was Holloway Helmore, missionary with the London Missionary Society, who with his wife,Anne and two of their children, along with other members of the missionary party died under tragic circumstances in South Africa in 1860. The full story can be found in the book No Cross Marks The Spot by Stella Kilby. After Thomas Helmore died, his younger brother Frederick wrote and published these memoirs, which have now become public domain since the copyrite expired. I have decided to copy and republish these memoirs.

In a world at war, Maggie Doherty is a young woman training to be a nun at the Holy Cross Abbey in County Tipperary, Ireland. Having lost her mother at a young age, her father brought her to the convent when she was just sixteen years old. She is all set to take her next vows to become a Novice, and then finally, a nun. But is this really the life she is meant to live? Everyone around her (except for her father) don't seem to think so. And what happens when she meets a dashing French pilot, who is in Ireland on business? Will she remain at the Abbey and take her vows, or will she give in to her hearts desires? A beautiful love story with the backdrop of World War 2.

The Diary Of Anne Sophia Palk is now available as paperback and eBook on Amazon and Lulu. Anne Sophia Palk is my 3x great grandmother. She kept a journal during the second Anglo-Boer War. It makes for a very interesting read. So I will be re-publishing the journal. I plan to have it traditionally published so I might only publish the prologue here on Wattpad or maybe I'll publish the whole journal until it gets published. Please take time to read it and let me know what you think. Thank you
