This World War 2 historical fiction book Private Cummings by Pete McGinty (purchase link– https://a.co/d/50uN4ig ) is not only a beautiful historical fiction, but deals with such issues as disfigurement, LGBTQ issues, and finding friendship against all odds. Today I have Pete McGinty who I have on here to talk about his first novel, but he also has a vast career in marketing, branding, and advertising helping brands such as McDonald's Wendy's and White Castle and more! He also is an auto racing freelance photographer who has shot dozens of Indycar, NASCAR, and sportscar races! In this chapter of his life, he is now venturing into the storytelling and writing world. I am excited to talk today about his WWII historical fiction novel Private Cummings, which I am so bummed I only just received it yesterday, because I would have loved to have read it before now.
