Ah, I love Paris!!

So much so I just finished my second WW2 Paris novel… more coming up soon including a cover!

But first… about that memory…

My heroine Sylvie Martone loved staying in Marly-le-Roi outside Paris with the man in her life…

Here is a memory of mine when I stayed there… yes, that’s me in that wild purple dress.

The Resistance Girl Paris 1943

Could a moment of courage change her life?

It’s the story of French cinema star Sylvie Martone and her amazing journey from 1920s-1940s and how she defied the Gestapo to save lives…

Yes, it's August but sometimes we need a little Christmas so here's the WW2 letter that inspired HER LOST LOVE (Christmas Once Again) for a hot humid SoCal night when we're feeling nostalgic for hugs and family
