Current writing projects include:
Adrian's
biography of Bernar Nahum is finished being edited and translated by
it's publisher and will hopefully be released simultaneously in the English and
Turkish languages in the last quarter of 2009.
Adrian's Soviet General's and field officer's
uniforms 1955-1991 book is finished, and will be published by Veloce
Publishing Ltd. (Adrian has a large collection of old Soviet General and
field rank including a full set of KGB officer uniforms from this
period)...
...and one for the ladies.
Adrian is writing a movie script and musical stage
based on the true story of his X4 great grandparents in Ireland in 1798.
This is going to take sometime as this is a tough industry to try and
break into. Persistence and determination help along with a good dose of
luck.
Adrian is devoting some time to write a book explaining and guiding in
his down to earth way, how to find your ancestors. However, this book is
not just about lists of resources and records of where to search for
names, which are important, but only part of the story. Adrian will be
providing guidance on how to become a family history detective, offering
his own experiences including many mistakes and wrong tracks in this
challenging obsessive hobby.
Adrian has submitted the draft manuscript of a new
and significantly improved 964 book to the original 964 book's publisher
and this project is now underway.
Adrian is
still trying to find another worthwhile automotive subject on which to
write.

Ford GT Then, and Now, which covers the history of the Ford GT
(GT40) during its legendary years on the race track. Then the book
looks at
the New Ford GT from its concept, prototypes, production, homologation and
final delivery to the
customer. The book also looks at the Replicators (builders of Ford GT
inspired/based replicas from all over the world) and finally there is a
chapter on the survivors from those glory days, including the twin
sets. The book finishes with the Ford GT driver's Roll of Honour
containing the names of almost every driver in the world that owned, drove or
raced the original Ford GT. This book is published by
Veloce Publishing Ltd and was
launched at the Le Mans Classic on the 8th July 2006. Now available in
French and German.
