Message to New York
The harrowing tale of feminism, war, spying, and genocide.
Virginia Franc reigns as bright as the sun and her golden hair in her 1937 California life. Separated from the Great Depression and filth beyond the gates and airs of Hollywoodland, the world is laid out at her feet with pearls, crystal flutes of champagne, and a ruby she hates. The same day a celebration is being held for the proposal she accepted from a man she does not love but knows she’s fated to be with, the aura of change comes knocking.
With it, the realities of life and death are thrust upon her when her German heritage and Aryan blood are called upon for a special operation deep in the heart of Austria and under the ominous cloud of the Third Reich. She’s given a new name, a new identity, and a new life, by a handler she’s to call New York.
The mission is simple: get involved in the student and youth populace, stir up dissent toward the Nazis, and get out before the true war begins. But the annexation of Austria comes sooner than expected, and a forbidden and illegal love of a Jewish man, Maxim Schneider, complicates Ginny’s painless mission. She’ll be forced to choose between fleeing and fighting.
Will Ginny be able to protect those she loves in the tumultuous world at war, or will she lose everything under the marching boot of the Reich of monsters?

About the author
Madi Merek
3 books38 followersI’m a literary and historical fiction novelist—a genre buster, really. My debut will be in the world of erotica.
I’m a lover of vintage, a dreamer and creator, and I burn up the stipulations of this world.
Feminist.
I'm a country girl, trapped in the city. An erotica writer who enjoys long horseback rides on my family’s homestead in northern Colorado, ATVing through muddy creeks, fishing for rainbow trout, and picking off pop can with a .22, 9 mm, or .30-06.
Oh, and reading.
