I just released my first book as a new author, although I am a big fan of learning history and networking with others to gain an understanding of the past. This Scribe And The Sentinel has many variables. It has a lot of truth from my research and the people who actually lived in the times and events reflected in their eras. This lineage played a significant part in world history and global migrations. I used my own DNA testing to follow the lineage and completed the research, and it was truly a fun task that took at least a year to get the details as accurate as possible. Although some stories are fiction in the order the book was written, from the characters' personal thoughts and factual interactions with each other to bring you an epic, detailed historical fiction novel. I invite you to grab a copy, and especially a hard copy, because it would really be a good decoration for your reading table, bookshelf, or book display with its awesome book cover graphics.

Hi everyone! I am looking for reviewers for my YA/crossover historical espionage novel, The Spy from Fifth Avenue: A World War II Thriller, to be published by East River Press on Amazon on October 30.The Blurb: The Forgotten Americans in Stalin's USSR / An American girl behind the enemy's desk. Hunted by Berlin. Betrayed by Moscow.
The narrative Core: In occupied Ukraine in 1941, sixteen-year-old Doro Gamburg is living a deadly lie. To the German Command Office, she is their indispensable translator. To the Soviet resistance, she is a vital intelligence asset. But beneath her forged papers lies a secret that means instant execution: She is a Jewish girl from New York City whose family moved to the USSR in the 1930s.
When a resistance leader masterminds a desperate rescue to free prisoners marked for death at Babyn Yar, Doro and her childhood friend Paul—an American orphan of Stalin's purges—are chosen to lead the near-impossible task because of their flawless German.
The Game Changes...
Doro’s position in the office draws her into a classified Nazi uranium project. What she discovers seals her fate.
• Moscow marks her for death to bury a secret she was never meant to see.
• Berlin dispatches the ruthless SS inspector Frank von Bock to secure the project. An expert in uranium and a brilliant linguist, von Bock detects the one flaw everyone else misses—the faint Manhattan lilt beneath Doro's German. The trap snaps shut.
Hidden identities. Dangerous alliances.
