edit data

Forty years ago I wrote a novel and put it in a wardrobe. My daughter found it. I published it at seventy-three.

That book became the War Torn trilogy WWII historical fiction following a violinist and the enemy commander whose path crosses hers. My fourth novel, Fragments of Time, is a time-slip love story set between 1914 and 1964.

I am a retired maths and science teacher from Mid Wales. I write about love under impossible circumstances, which is perhaps what all the best stories are about.

War Torn 2

At last after many hiccups, War Torn Book 2 is published.
The story of Frances Meyer and Kristian Mueller continues, and am now working on the third book in the series.
Thank you for the lovely reviews for Book 1, hopefully you will enjoy Book 2 as much.

Jan Lloyd answered Goodreads's question: What books are on your summer reading list this year? I am busy reading as much information on Arbella Stuart at present and will hopefully publish a book on this topic in the first half of this year.

I love this book. The characters are real, all having their own weaknesses and strengths. Beautifully written. I could read it over and over again. Actually I have.

Jan Lloyd liked Nancy Garbe's review of War Torn (War Torn #1): "The book is very good and well-written, with one serious exception. Frances is a highly trained violinist who performs under her maiden name, Lamont, but she marries an older, very kind Jewish man whose name is Meyer.
