Publisher news & book preview

I've finally decided which publisher to send my manuscript to first. The publishing house is called Peachtree  Publishers (located in Atlanta, GA), and they seem to be pretty good. They've published several books about notable Georgians and Georgia history, so I hope they think Denver Truelove's story would be a great addition to their publications.

The final draft of the manuscript is almost done...I'm adding a few last-minute details. I hope to send the manuscript in sometime this summer!


In the meantime, I don't want to keep people bored, so...I'm going to give a little book preview! It's just a short movie that I created. You can view it below:

Omaha Reunion & Book News

I’m back from the reunion! I had a great time, and here are some photos and highlights of the trip:

We arrived on Wednesday, and the only event that day was a family night for only raider family. We could attend because we were related, and I was able to gather lots of research for my book by interviewing the Doolittle Raid historian, Carroll Glines, and David Thatcher, one of the raiders. During the rest of the week, we visited the Strategic Air & Space Museum in Ashland, Nebraska, where an autograph session was held. Other events included a luncheon with an air show, and a grand banquet.

Pictured above is me in the bomb bay of a refurbished B-25 bomber.

Research for my book was heavily added to by visiting the reunion! The manuscript is close to being done, but the next step is finding a publisher…and one that will publish the work! Stay posted for more news...

At the Reunion--Omaha, Nebraska!

Hi Everyone!
My mom and I are at the reunion now and are having a great time! I've already had a chance to gather research for my book--I've even had a conversation with Carroll Glines, the official Doolittle Raid historian. There are five raiders left, and we've met four of them so far. Everything is great!


I hope that you're as excited as I am to see Denver and the Doolittle Raid come to be!

Doolittle Raider Reunion and Book Update

Hello! Sorry that there haven’t been any updates in a while…but here’s the latest news:

My mom and I will soon be traveling to Nebraska for the 69^th Doolittle Raid Reunion, where all five surviving raiders will be. (For any interested, the reunion is April 14^th-17^th, details at www.doolittlereunion.com) At the reunion, my mom and I will be able to meet the raiders, get autographs, and hopefully do some final research for my book!

Speaking of my book, here’s the info on that.  I’ve been working a lot on Denver and the Doolittle Raid over the past few months. Besides adding lots of interesting facts and a new chapter, I’ve added almost all of the photographs to the book, so it will be full of interesting, historical photos. The book should be available for sale before the end of the year, but nothing is guaranteed.

Thanks so much!

Book now in production!

This website will follow writing, publication and distribution of my book, Denver and the Doolittle Raid. Following the story of my great-great uncle, Denver V. Truelove, the bombardier on plane #5 in the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo in WWII, this book is sure to entertain! Written for elementary and middle school ages, it will include plenty of historical photos and an interesting storyline. I hope that you'll follow along as I publish my book!
