It’s #BoldAudio Day!! I am so happy to be a Boldwood Books Author with all of my books in Audio… so here they are…. in my inimitable ‘interesting’ style — which means me trying to hold the audio books with one hand and show them with the other while keeping up a running dialogue… kinda like swimming backwards and forwards at the same time.

And of course, a lovely shout out to my narrator, Laurel Lefkow, who’s been with me since the beginning… merci, Laurel!

And to the Ulverscroft Group for ‘creating a literary lifeline to those in need’


PS — Sisters of the Resistance, the sequel to Sisters At War will be published September 29th!! (audio, too). I am so very pleased with the sequel and I hope you’ll enjoy it. Thanks for your patience…. this was a rough one, you guys. A mental meat grinder. Keep you posted!

If you need a little Christmas (and who doesn’t) and you live in Australia

HER LOST LOVE is a Kindle Australia June Book Deal this month!

Here’s the WW2 #Christmas letter that inspired my story

This letter was written 81 years ago on Christmas Day 1943 — and now we’re about to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of D-Day.

The soldier in this letter was later shot down in Italy… and survived. With two engines on fire, the pilot brought the B-25 in on a wing and a prayer.

Boldwood Books 5th Birthday, Sisters of the Resistance edits, and me…

I had another Sleeping Beauty moment this week — I missed the Boldwood Books kickoff of my publisher’s 5th Birthday coming up! The spam box ate my email.
Really.
I just found the fab graphics in a different box (my email provider is changing servers) and I want to share it with you!

I’ve been with Boldwood since the beginning 5 years ago… and a grand journey it’s been. Going down the yellow brick road with Team Boldwood is the best you can ever have!!

Happy #BoldwoodBirthday!

For #InternationalWomensDay a special sisterhood I will never forget

I write about sisterhood during World War 2 in Paris (Sisters At War), but last weekend I found my own sisterhood at the UC Irvine Homecoming when I spent the day with women alumnae from my graduating class I’d never known when I attended the university.

Marianne, Kathy, and Nancy.

I’m shy by nature and these 3 alumnae picked me up like a lost kitten and showed me such kindess and friendship, I’m tearing up now at the lovely memory.

Thank you, ladies! You made the day special for me and I salute you on #internationalwomensday!

At last: Sisters At War pubs Monday Sept 25th

Out on Monday!

Waiting in the wings for pub day…

Butterflies dancing in my stomach… nerves

Because the subject matter in my story comes from a real place in my life. Sexual assault. What will readers say? Will they come along on the journey?

Should I have kept my secret like I have for such a long time?

I don’t know…

Hence the butterflies.

Come back with me to Paris WW2. Sisters At War is the next book in a series of books I’ve written about that era. I so hope you enjoy it!
