The 4th Reich takes the reader into the day to day lives of one aristocratic German family at the inception of the German Third Reich under the oversight of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party. In 1940 the patriarch of this family and several other thoughtful citizens reach the decision that Germany is likely to lose the Second World War. These rich and powerful men jointly decide to band together to initiate another path toward world domination through scientific research. The 4th Reich series follows their progress through the remainder of the war and beyond, into the lives of the next generation and a new and very different world.
I began writing adult fiction in the 1960's and published over 70 books. While in the Vancouver Police Force I wrote a regular piece for the in-house magazine and co-authored a book on dog training. I published two mystery/police procedural novels, "The Little Black Book" and "Alumni", in 2012. I am currently working on a historical novel set in the Nazi Third Reich era, a series of fantasy graphic novels and a sequel to one of the earlier mystery novels. I enjoy reading most genres. With me it's more about what I like to read and not necessarily who wrote it and this is what tends to lead me off in different directions. Because I read so much, I am always interested in new authors. Who and what I read depends on how well the book is written and how well it is presented.
This is a complete switch for this author...historical fiction. Though WWII and it's history are not my cup of tea I found this account of why events unravelled as they did really fascinating. Can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.
