Why We Need Contemporary War Fiction Written by Women on Books by Women
This month I had the honor of writing an article for "Women Writers, Women's Books" based on my own experience as the writer of "Silent Heroes, When Love and Values Are Worth Fighting for", contemporary fiction about the War in Afghanistan.
The article is titled:
Why We Need Contemporary War Fiction Written by Women
I touch on my own writing journey, as an authoress; on women warriors as role models; on the need of war fiction written by women - especially on the WHY and the HOW. I also speak of how women's fiction differs and stands out and share y thoughts on what it means to write about war.
I hope that you will enjoy my article.

Dog tales with tails. Take Two
The reproachful sigh (part one)
“I was watching my favorite show last night”, my mother once told me.
She’s a huge NCIS fan. “I was caught up in the action, the next moment the blood froze in my veins.” The reproachful sigh (part one)
“I was watching my favorite show last night”, my mother once told me.
She’s a huge NCIS fan. “I was caught up in the action, the next moment the blood froze in my veins.”
Mom’s been an ER Surgery Nurse, she doesn’t scare easily. “I was alone in the room when somebody sighed, just next to me”, she explains.
No time for criminal investigations, my mother bursts into laughter.
“It was Tara!”
Our dog’s bedtime ritual consisted of retiring early together with dad. A couple of hours later she would wake up, find mom by the TV and WAIT for her to come to bed.
Wait quietly at first… then begin to sigh.
A nasal, long sigh, while all the time keeping her back towards mom. It was Tara’s reproachful, emphasized moan: “and how much longer will you keep ME awake?”
