The Gallery would like to pay tribute to John Swindells, an author whose books are sold at The Gallery through December 2024.

John passed away this year. He was an amazing author of meticulously researched historical fiction. He retired at the rank of colonel after a thirty year active duty career in the US Army and served tours in Vietnam and Germany. He also served in the Defense Intelligence Agency.

He is well missed by all of the family at The Gallery!
