Winter's End is here!
Happy to announce my WW II historical novel, Winter's End is now available. A Reader;'s Favorite 5-star Award-winner hailed by best-selling author Faye Kellerman as "a page-turner with honest characters who captured your heart and soul," Winter's End follows the brave journeys of three young women of the Dutch Resistance from the cobblestoned streets of Nazi-occupied Holland to an astonishing finale 70 years later and a world away.
The characters in Winter's End captured my heart and soul as I told their stories. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

The Birth of Winter's End
Sometime after reading an article about WW II Dutch Resistance heroines Truus and Freddie Obersteegen and Hannie Schaft the character of young Evi Strobel moved into my head and refused to leave until I told her story.
Evi led me to veterinarian Dr. Zoe Visser and to socialite Mila Brouwer, the determined daughter of a Nazi sympathizer, and the three let me tag along with them on their incredible escapades during the German occupation and the harsh Hunger Winter of 1944.
Best-selling author Faye Kellerman calls it, "taut and gripping - a page-turner with honest characters that capture both heart and soul."
It has already been awarded a Reader's Favorite Five Star review.
Winter's End will be published in May, 2025. I hope you love these these three women and the men they love much as I do.
