Hannah Byron is an acclaimed author of historical fiction centered on WWII resistance women. Born in Paris in the mid-1950s to a British mother and a Dutch father, she grew up with strong ties to France, the UK, and Holland, which continue to inspire her work. Most of her novels are set in Western Europe, where history and culture run deep.

After decades of balancing life as a mother, university professor, and translator, Hannah is now a full-time author. She writes passionate novels about resistance and romance set in the 20th century—topics close to her heart. Readers often describe Byron’s work as gripping, deeply emotional, and impossible to put down.

Sometimes I let a story gist for a while and don't force myself to write every day although I feel I have to. Other times I set a timer and just write.

The Courage to Transmit – Danger in Salbris

Behind an unassuming garage facade, a young woman defied an empire.

By late April 1944, Muriel Byck — now operating under the field name Violette, and sending messages to London under the codename Benefactress — had settled into her first real SOE base: the small town of Salbris, in the Loir-et-Cher.
