Why Spurwing?
In 2011 Michael finished writing a novel, Magnificent Britain, that he'd been working on for almost fifteen years. We were keen for it to be published but after several encouraging comments from literary agents were no nearer to seeing it in print. Then the ebook revolution got underway in the U.K. and we've taken advantage of everything offered by both Kindle Direct Publishing ever since.
After Magnificent Britain was published, I started researching the background to an old diary and photograph collection that my dad had kept during World War II. I realised that I could use the skills I'd acquired in ebook publishing to share the diary and my researches. Eventually this became my first ebook and was published as I Think I Prefer the Tinned Variety: The Diary of a Petty Officer in the Fleet Air Arm during World War II.

After we'd published I Think I Prefer the Tinned Variety we decided our project needed an identity.
When researching I Think I Prefer the Tinned Variety there was very little information about H.M.S. Spurwing (Hastings, near Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa) where my dad had been stationed.
I had to research several books and websites to pull together what little information there was. Even the website which had links to all the Royal Navy air-bases had nothing, at the time, for H.M.S. Spurwing.
We decided to commemorate H.M.S Spurwing and so named our publishing project Spurwing Ebooks.
