edit data

J. Mason Williams is a lawyer, musician and writer living in sunny Cocoa Beach, Florida. Writing has been a passion since early childhood, but the writing of a full-length novel had to await the establishment of his law practice, being a good husband to his beautiful wife, Mary, and their raising of two adventurous boys. After winning an award for a short story at the Glorietta Writer’s Conference, he was urged to turn the story into a full-length novel by best-selling author T. Davis Bunn. This is Mason’s first published novel.

Magnificent Such a powerful tribute to the women, and men, who fought, resisted and triumphed over Nazi tyranny despite loss, unspeakable horrors and cruel deprivation. Beautifully written. God bless them all.
