What appeals to you most about writing fiction?

Writing fiction allows me to stretch beyond reality and design life in a different way. Although I don’t live in a small town, I’d like to. So, I can set my stories in the kinds of towns that appeal to me. It also allows me to work out situations in my own life and address problems in the lives of others. I’ve tackled several topics. Abuse, lack of identity, feeling distant from God, lost love, and grief. In my current WIP (work in progress), I’m dealing with the problems that …

Flame of Resistance by Tracy Groot

Synopsis:~

Years of Nazi occupation have stolen much from Brigitte Durand. Family. Freedom. Hope for a future, especially for a woman with a past like hers. But that changes the day American fighter pilot Tom Jaeger is shot down over occupied France. Picked up by the Resistance, Tom becomes the linchpin in their plan to infiltrate a Germans-only brothel and get critical intel out through Brigitte, a prostitute rumored to be sympathetic to the Allied cause.

D-day looms and everyone knows that invasion is imminent. But so is treachery, and the life of one American pilot unexpectedly jeopardizes everything. He becomes more important than the mission to a man who cannot bear to lose another agent and to a woman who is more than just a prostitute, who finally realizes that her actions could change the course of history.

My take:~

Readers who thrive on a challenging and intellectually stimulating …

Cover Love!

Here are some covers that have recently caught my eye! I’ll be posting further details of these books as they become available but couldn’t wait to share these with you and hear your thoughts on them.

I ADORE Lisa Samson’s cover ~ she always has fabulous covers and this one is no exception. MaryLu’s is stunning even though it is a familiar theme for an historical romance and the background to Lisa Bergren’s cover is terrific although the cover models’ facial expressions are a little bit daunting – LOL!
